Chapter 285: Chi Feichei Skipping Work

Chapter 285: Chi Feichei Skipping Work

Evening, 8:17.

Inside the Izakaya, the female waitress placed plates of dishes on the table, put down two bottles of liquor, bowed, and stepped back, saying, "Please enjoy your meal."

"How is it? The environment of this shop is okay, right?" Mori Kogoro poured a glass of liquor, downed it in one gulp, and sighed comfortably, "Ah, this liquor is really good!"

Chi Feichei tasted the dish. The flavor was neither good nor bad, standard Japanese Cuisine. "It's okay."

Yes, he skipped work. After removing his Disguise, he ran over to eat with Mori Kogoro.

Of course, it wasn't entirely skipping work. He had told Gin in advance that he was coming out for a meal. After Rena Mizunashi (Kir)'s side was resolved, if he could go meet her, he would; if he couldn't, Gin would go.

"Being noisy means business is good. Plus, from 8 to 10 today, you can eat and drink unlimited amounts for just one price," Mori Kogoro poured more liquor and said casually, "What else are you Dissatisfied with?"

"I'm not Dissatisfied." Chi Feichei stated calmly.

"Uh..." Mori Kogoro looked up for a Glance, Speechless, lowered his Head, and continued drinking.

He's Disciple Kuroki Jiro is very sober, he's used to it.

"Aren't you calling Ran and the Kid?" Chi Feichei asked.

"Ran and that Kid?" Mori Kogoro Self-Absorbedly buried his Head in drinking. "If I called Ran, how could I drink to my heart's content? There's no need to call them when men are drinking. Don't worry, Ran will make Dinner and eat with that Kid!"

Chi Feichei silently poured a Glass of Wine and took a sip.

Ran usually doesn't put on a full martial arts show, she's quite patient with this Old Dad...

In less than an Hour, Mori Kogoro got drunk. He hung up the Phone Call Made by Mouri Ran and waved at the Waitress with a thick Tongue, "One more... one more bottle!"

Chi Feichei was also pulled into drinking a lot of liquor. He took out his Mobile Phone and dialed the Landline Phone of the Mori Detective Agency.

"Hello, this is the Mori Detective Agency..."

"This is Chi Feichei. Teacher Mouri is drunk. We are at the Izakaya at 1-61 Beika Town. I'll send him back later..."

"Brother Hichiji? Wait a moment, we'll come over right away!"

"Beep... beep..."

This Time, someone else hung up Chi Feichei's Phone Call first.

Chi Feichei Looked at the Time displayed on his Mobile Phone. There were still more than two Hours left. After sending Mori Kogoro back, he should still have Time to pick up Rena Mizunashi (Kir). "Teacher, don't just drink Liquor..."

"Don't just eat the Dish, drink Liquor!" Mori Kogoro Received the liquor brought by the Waitress, opened the bottle, filled a Glass of Wine, and Smilingly raised his glass towards Chi Feichei, "Come, cheers!"

Chi Feichei raised his Wine Glass and clinked it with Mori Kogoro. Seeing Mori Kogoro downing it in one gulp again, he also finished his in one gulp.

By the Time Mouri Ran arrived with Conan, Mori Kogoro was already drunk and sprawled on the Table.

Chi Feichei went to pay the bill and helped support Mori Kogoro as they left.

"Brother Hichiji, I'm really Sorry," Mouri Ran also helped support him. "You even had to Help pay the bill."

"It's nothing." Chi Feichei Said.

Conan Looked around. "Brother Chi, didn't you drive over?"

"I was going to drink, so I didn't drive." Chi Feichei found an Excuse.

His Red Lexus was parked in Ginza, and the Car he got from the Organization was parked in Kamiyama Town. Both were quite far.

"I still want to drink..." Mori Kogoro mumbled incoherently, "One more!"

"It's not far from the Detective Agency here. We'll go back Walking, it should take about twenty minutes..." Mouri Ran Said a Sentence to Chi Feichei, then complained about Mori Kogoro, "Father, you've already drunk too much!"

Walking along the Road, there were no other Figures In the Alley at Night.

Bang!

Beside the Street, on the Second Floor of a Residential Building, the Window Glass Suddenly shattered, attracting the Line of Sight of Chi Feichei and the three others.

A Young Man wearing Glasses pushed open the Balcony Glass Door, Looked Downwards, turned his Head, and complained, "Stop throwing Things around, Okay? Go back!"

Inside the room, another Sound seemed very Angry: "You want me to go back? You Bastard dare tell me to go back?!"

The Glasses Man Turned Around and went back Inside the room, seemingly shoving the Person Inside the room. "What are you doing? Let go quickly, Nakamoto!"

"Stop nagging!"

The Curtain blocked the Glass Door. The Two People Inside the room seemed to still be arguing continuously.

Chi Feichei Turned his Head and Looked at the lineup on his side. The Mori trio were all there...

After finally skipping work to come drink Liquor, is this the Pace of another Incident about to happen?

Mouri Ran listened to the noisy Sound Inside the room over there, Turned her Head, and asked, "What should we do, Brother Hichiji?"

"What else can we do," Mori Kogoro withdrew the Arms the Two People were supporting him with, walked in an S-shape, and staggered over. "Since we Saw it, we can't ignore it. I'll go... I'll go mediate."

"I'll go Check," Chi Feichei pulled Mori Kogoro, Entrusted him to Mouri Ran, and was Staring at Mori Kogoro. "You stay put."

There's Cold air!

Mori Kogoro raised his Eye and met that quiet, Cold Line of Sight, sobering up A Bit. "Uh... Okay..."

"You No Need to Worry," an Old Man with a long beard, leading a Dog, walked over. He Turned his Head and Looked at the Window on the Second Floor, Smilingly Said, "Those Two People usually just roughhouse like this. But After they argue each Time, they'll reconcile Smilingly again before long."

Saying so, he also bent down and stroked the Shiba Inu's Head. "Right?"

The Shiba Inu wagged its Tail, tilted its Head up and rubbed against the Old Man's Palm, squinted its Eyes, and whimpered, "Delicious Things, Delicious Things..."

Chi Feichei Lowered his Head to Look at the Dog.

This kind of Dog with a gentle Personality that is close to Humans, when muttering simple Words, mostly says 'Master is the best', 'Master, Master', 'Happy'...

Of Course, it also depends on the type and Personality of the Pet.

Is this a foodie Dog? Or Rather, is this Old Man a Dog seller who tricks Dogs with Food?

As soon as Mori Kogoro heard the Old Man Say So, he decisively gave up the Idea of mediating. "Really, I worried for nothing..."

"Your Pet doesn't seem to like eating Things much, right?" Chi Feichei's Line of Sight moved upwards, Looking Towards that Old Man, and Suddenly Noticed something Wrong.

The Person in front seemed hunched over, but the corresponding bend of their Arm was Wrong. Their Knee was deliberately bent A Bit, creating the Pretense of old age.

Moreover, the long beard was A Bit too Lusterous. The Skin in places not covered by the long beard was smooth and seemed to have no Wrinkles. Although it was A Bit blurry in the dim Light, But...

Does he think People All are blind?

This is clearly a Disguise by a Young Man without a long beard...

The Man still Unaware that he had been seen through, Smiled slowly with a Slow Sound, "Ah, it Just hasn't had a good Appetite Recently. It usually eats a lot."

Chi Feichei Say Nothing More, Watch Leave this Person, and continued Walking forward supporting Mori Kogoro.

No Need to Think, an Incident Definitely happened. This 'Old Man' has a Problem.

It's Just that he still has to pick up Rena Mizunashi (Kir). It's Better not to cause any Trouble Tonight...

"Brother Chi, What's Wrong with that Dog?" Conan asked proactively.

He Don't Think Chi Feichei is the kind of Person who talks a lot.

"Lots of Fur, But a Bit dry," Chi Feichei Said calmly, "Lacking Trace Elements."

Conan: "..."

Is this an Occupational Disease acting up?

But, speaking of which, Chi Feichei still knows he's a Veterinarian?

Chi Feichei sent Mori Kogoro back to the Detective Agency. Using the Reason 'needs to go Home to Rest', he didn't stay long. He took a taxi to Kamiyama Town, changed into the Freckled Man Disguise, and then drove to pick up Rena Mizunashi (Kir).

Arriving in the Vicinity of Kabukicho, it was still A Bit early. After waiting for more than ten minutes, Rena Mizunashi (Kir) finally Called.

Chi Feichei drove the Car over, picked up Rena Mizunashi (Kir), and left Directly.

Rena Mizunashi (Kir) Get On The Bus, smelled a trace of Smell of Alcohol, and asked Curiously, "You went drinking Liquor?"

"Uh-huh, you drive later," Chi Feichei drove the Car towards a secluded Alley. "What's the Situation?"

"Kazumi Oshima didn't Lie Before," Rena Mizunashi (Kir) didn't dare to inquire further and returned to Serious Business. "I Said I had a Cold and my Throat was uncomfortable, covering up the Unusual Sound. I gathered with the Three People who manage the other Shops and chatted for A Bit. They Should not have Noticed that the Person was replaced. The Things they knew were the Same as Kazumi Oshima. Moreover, this Woman Eguchi Noriko Seemingly is very difficult to Handle..."

Eguchi Noriko's Father was originally a Member of the Yamaguchi-gumi, But his Status was very low. Compared to him, Eguchi Noriko is much stronger. She joined at around 17 and has been a Member for 15 Years now.

From the past Intelligence Rena Mizunashi (Kir) inquired about and Analyzed, this is a Woman who is Be Good At reading People and is also ruthless enough. But she likes to show off, is arrogant and Prideful, and cares about Face...

Rena Mizunashi (Kir) had Contact with the Person herself. After Observation, Eguchi Noriko had two strings of Keys on her.

From the Intelligence, Eguchi Noriko has a total of three Residences, five not-small Shops, plus two Residential Buildings provided for persecuted Girls to live in. She has many Keys on her.

One string of Keys has seventeen, and the other has five. No Things like Safe Keys were Found...

Upon reaching a Street Corner, Chi Feichei got out of the Car. "You drive."

Rena Mizunashi (Kir) also got out of the Car, Turned Around to the Driver's Seat, and continued, "There are too many Keys. I didn't have Time to print them. She also kept a close Stare. I pretended to accidentally spill Coffee on her, wanting to Check if I could print Models of two Keys while she changed Clothes, to Confirm the Use of those two strings of Keys. However, Even If she went to change Clothes, she didn't leave the Keys Outside but took them Inside."

"Uh-huh..."

Chi Feichei sent an Email to Gin, summarizing the Intelligence he obtained and sending it over.

The Addresses of the three Residences, the Addresses of the five Shops and two Residential Buildings, the two strings of Keys that are Valued, Personality Habits, Relationship People...

With Disguise Technique, inquiring about Intelligence is Indeed Convenient. It's even simpler to Handle People who are not from Intelligence Organizations.

After waiting for Probably three minutes, Gin finally Called.

"Hello?"

"Bourbon's side found a piece of News. That Woman's Residence in the Port Area was renovated Seven Years Ago using their Yamaguchi-gumi's own construction team. Although many People in the Yamaguchi-gumi rebuild Houses this way, it was clearly not old But was renovated again. She doesn't usually live there, she lives in Bunkyo Ward, and only this one Residence was renovated. If there are no other Places, then the Place where the Cash is hoarded is Probably there."

Gin's Tone over there was flat, But Chi Feichei felt that Gin's Mood was quite good.

Also Correct, If things go smoothly, this Action can be wrapped up quickly.

"Did you Find People to Confirm it?" Chi Feichei asked.

"Confirming," Gin Said. "Tonight, a Leader of the Yamaguchi-gumi is holding a Meeting. Eguchi Noriko's Lover will also go there and won't return until Early Morning three o'clock. We will Start Doing after we Confirm. You two go to Taito Ward first. She has Already gone Towards There."

"Okay."

Chi Feichei hung up the Phone Call and Said to Rena Mizunashi (Kir), "Go to Taito Ward."

According to the News Rena Mizunashi (Kir) inquired about, Eguchi Noriko's Driver and Butler at Home are both Members of the Yamaguchi-gumi, and there are also two Bodyguards.

During the Daytime, she takes three when she Go Out, leaving the Butler at Home. At Night, all four People are providing Protection. If her Yamaguchi-gumi High-Level Member Lover goes over, there will be even more Personnel.

It Looks like it would be Better to Start Doing during the Daytime, But during the Daytime, Eguchi Noriko's Activity Area is within the Yamaguchi-gumi's Territory, and there are more Personnel.

If it's Just Assassination, Sniping Eguchi Noriko on the Road to Some Place would be fine. But they also need to get those two strings of Keys. If it's on the Road, once there's a Corpse, it will Definitely attract the attention of Passersby. It would be very difficult to secretly take the Keys. It's Best to be able to Solve it at close range, take the Keys, and leave.

Looking at the Extent to which Eguchi Noriko Values them, among those two strings of Keys, there must be the Key to Open the Place where the Cash is hoarded.

Of Course, it's impossible to be 100% Certain.

It's Just that over a billion in Cash is a lot, But it's nothing to Gin. He could get it by Extortioning two more People or conducting two more black transactions. Gin clearly doesn't want to Waste too much Time on this Matter. Based on the Clues currently available, it's Sufficient for Action.
