Conan was temporarily speechless.

The other party had a gun and the intention to shoot Chi Feichei. Chi Feichei made the opponent lose their ability to attack at the fastest speed. Was there a problem with him being a bit heavy-handed?

No problem at all!

Moreover, upon careful recollection, the muzzle of the gun was pointed at Chi Feichei at that time. If he had been any slower, Chi Feichei might have had a hole in him. Instead of sympathizing with the Criminal, he should be more concerned about Chi Feichei...

"That... I didn't mean... it's just..."

The Famous Detective looked conflicted, unsure of how to express himself.

"What is it?" Chi Feichei looked at Conan's expression, completely clueless about what Conan was thinking.

"Uh, it's nothing." Conan had bean eyes. Okay, it seemed Chi Feichei didn't take it to heart at all.

"Okay."

Chi Feichei responded and didn't say anything more.

Even if this Man had a concussion and became stupid, a sufficiently excellent Lawyer could handle it.

This World, this Place, and some things hidden in the dark.

For example, inheritance. Like Noah's Ark said, a politician's son is a politician, a banker's son is a banker, and even if a Father is a Grandmaster or Master in a certain field, what his son inherits is not just Family Property, but also the potential to directly become a Grandmaster or Master.

For example, the Workplace. Most Companies employ a Lifetime Employment System, coupled with the influence of some Hierarchy concepts. Da Shan Mi, as well as other veteran employees of the Company, paid no less attention to him than the ancient Chinese paid to the Crown Prince. Therefore, newcomers in the Workplace have no Status.

Not to mention other Companies and Businesses, look at Wataru Takagi of the Metropolitan Police Department. How many times has he been interrogated by those Police Officers because of Sato Miwako? Ninzaburo Shiratori is not targeted, simply because of his Family Background, Seniority, and other factors, while Wataru Takagi, in the final analysis, is a Newcomer with a low Police Rank. Why should he steal Sato Miwako away?

Even Mori Kogoro was using Wataru Takagi as a breakthrough to understand the Case.

This was already considered good. At least everyone had a bit of a joking tone and didn't do anything too excessive, but what about other Places?

Workplace bullying is not uncommon.

Furthermore, so-called Status and Connections. 'Zero the Enforcer' is actually the most thought-provoking Movie. Let's not talk about what Play the Public Security Police, Criminal Police, and other judicial personnel put on. Just consider Mori Kogoro as a Suspect in the International Conference Hall Bombing Case. Even when he hadn't been sent for Prosecution and the Case was still under Investigation, his Family Members could still learn about the specific Investigation Situation of the Bombing from the Police. This was simply because the Police Officers at the Metropolitan Police Department felt that Mori Kogoro would not be the Culprit.

Try it with an Ordinary Person?

Once some things surface, so-called Fairness is a Joke.

Furthermore, the protagonist group, a bunch of brats who play around everywhere all day long, none of them are simple.

Ayumi's Family owns a Luxury Apartment in the Downtown Area. The Price of Luxury Apartments in that kind of Place is more expensive than some Villas.

Mitsuhiko's Family pays great attention to Etiquette and Traditional Culture, and their Background is not bad.

Even Genta's Home conditions are considered to be at a petty-bourgeois level, enough to provide him with whatever he wants to eat and whatever he wants to buy.

Looking at it from the perspective of School, Japanese Schools are divided into three types: National, Public, and Private.

The Teitan and Beika School systems themselves include University, High School, Middle School, and Elementary School. Teitan Elementary School, which is Teitan University Affiliated Elementary School, belongs to National Elementary School.

Public Schools account for 80%. They enroll students according to districts. Admission is simple, no Exam is required, and Tuition Fee is not expensive.

Private Schools' teaching quality is considered to be guaranteed, and there are also some Schools that focus on cultivating Medicine talents, but the Tuition Fee is high.

National Elementary Schools have high teaching quality because they receive national funding, and Tuition Fee is not high, but admission is very difficult.

First of all, there is an Exam, testing Japanese, Arithmetic, Logical Ability, Manual Dexterity, Teamwork Ability... In short, the scope is very broad, not just doing Exam Paper Answer Questions.

Because there are too many applicants, some Schools also need to conduct a round of Lottery to select a portion of them and eliminate a portion. Of course, people like Doctor Agasa who can arrange for a Child to transfer to the School are another matter.

After that, there is an Interview to observe the Child's Sitting Posture, Upbringing, and ask some questions to see the Child's Expressive Ability. During this period, Parents must also accompany the Interview to see how the Parents' Self-cultivation is, and they will even ask the Child a question: What do your Parents do for work?

The Reason is—the Guardians of our School's Students all have decent jobs. If you don't have a decent job, your Child may lack Common Language with classmates in our School, which is not conducive to his Growth.

After the Interview, if there is no second round of Lottery, then it is considered Admission.

Even for Young Miss like Suzuki Sonoko, the best choice for her Family is also National Elementary School rather than Private School, not only because of the advantages in Education, but also the important factor of Environment.

Therefore, Kudo Shinichi, as well as this group of Children, are unable to come into contact with or even think about some Matters.

Kudo Shinichi can Say that he can never understand the Reason why the Culprit commits Murder, because he has never lost Reliance or Struggled in the Mire. He has the Opportunity to learn many Things that peers cannot learn, so naturally he doesn't understand why some Criminals have such strong Hatred that they disregard Human Life, or why some people commit Murder because a little Achievement is taken away.

He will Sympathize and Sigh, but he will never be able to Empathize. If he cannot Empathize, he will never be able to understand.

This group of Children can be positive and play games of upholding Justice everywhere, because their Family conditions are enough to support them to see a wider World. They can be full of Confidence when facing anyone.

It's very sad, but the fact is that their happiness and Justice are supported by Capital.

After all, some people have exhausted all their Strength just for Survival, how can they have the Mood and Time to think about other Things...

And near Sapporo Station Platform in Hokkaido, two people who had almost exhausted all their Strength for Survival were cursing Chi Feichei in their hearts.

Kurara Midorikawa hung up the Phone Call and looked at Kinu Kawa Kazuki, who was looking forward to it, "President said, we can't let others Help us buy Train Ticket again."

The little boy's face immediately fell.

A Few Days Ago, they traveled around everywhere, and someone had booked their food, drinks, entertainment, and accommodation. Holding a large stack of tickets, they could go wherever they wanted. Life was simply too carefree.

But this morning, the booked Hotel Time was up. Kurara Midorikawa took him to have Breakfast, checked out of the Room, and came to the Station, only to find that the Train Ticket was for tomorrow afternoon.

Kurara Midorikawa only brought a little Small Change, but only had more than 200 Japanese Yen left. Not to mention buying tickets back, even eating was difficult. She definitely had to Call Odagiri Toshiya to tell him about this Matter.

Odagiri Toshiya's Reply was: What do you eat? Find a Method yourself! Where to stay? Find a Method yourself! How to get back? Find a Method yourself! Don't ask, I Don't Know if you ask me. Our Mr. Chi said, if you want to shoot a new Movie, then find a Method to survive and come back, otherwise change people!

During this Period, he had also thought of Methods.

He thought about Calling Inspector Odagiri to act spoiled and cute, but Inspector Odagiri said—'I think Mr. Chi is right to do this, to let you accept a little tempering'.

He thought about acting spoiled and pitiful to Passersby, to see if anyone would Help buy a Train Ticket back, but Kurara Midorikawa asked on the Phone Call... No, they must find a Method to come back themselves.

The two of them were abandoned in a strange city, with no Money, no Place to live, and no one to care about them.

Kurara Midorikawa put away her Mobile Phone, took out two 100-yen Coins, and pulled Kinu Kawa Kazuki up, "Let's go, Kazuki, I'll take you to eat first."

"But..." Kinu Kawa Kazuki looked at the 200-yen Coins, feeling sour in his heart.

What could 200 yen buy?

"It's okay, we can buy some Bread and another bottle of Water," Kurara Midorikawa comforted him, "I'll find a Shop to do a Part-time Job, and we should have something to eat in the Night."

"Okay..."

Kinu Kawa Kazuki responded in a muffled voice.

Kurara Midorikawa found a Convenience Store, bought the cheapest Bread and Water, and took Kinu Kawa Kazuki to sit outside the Convenience Store to share the Bread, "This is yours, this is mine."

Kinu Kawa Kazuki's Stomach rumbled, but looking at his large portion and Kurara Midorikawa's small piece, he couldn't bring himself to eat it.

Kurara Midorikawa finished her piece of Bread, which was less than half a palm-sized, in two bites. She clapped her hands and stood up.

Kinu Kawa Kazuki hesitated for a moment, but still couldn't bear the feeling of his Stomach being empty and acidic from Hunger. He lowered his Head and finished the Bread.

The two of them each drank half a bottle of Water, feeling a little more comfortable in their Stomachs, which was a kind of comfort.

Kurara Midorikawa went into Shops along the Street, asking one by one if they needed someone to do a Part-time Job.

In the evening, the Weather was a bit muggy. Kinu Kawa Kazuki stood outside the Shop, watching Kurara Midorikawa talking to a Man and bowing. His heart, like the Weather, felt stuffy and made it hard to breathe.

Kurara Midorikawa came out of the Door and said to Kinu Kawa Kazuki, "This Shop doesn't need anyone to do a Part-time Job. Let's go, next Shop. It seems we can go to larger Shops to ask..."

"Grumble..."

A sound of a rumbling Stomach made the two of them pause.

Kurara Midorikawa blushed, feeling a little embarrassed.

"I'm sorry." Kinu Kawa Kazuki's voice was very low.

This was the first time he regretted eating most of the Bread, regretting it to the point of heartache...

A Few Days Ago, he couldn't get close to Kurara Midorikawa no matter what. This Woman had a cold Face, didn't like to smile, and when she occasionally smiled, it was also very reserved. She wouldn't be like other Women who would have Eyes light up when they saw him and shout 'Kawaii' loudly to hug him.

But he suddenly realized that those Women who said he was cute might not be able to share nearly nine-tenths of the Bread with him like the Person in front of him.

"Why Say sorry?" Kurara Midorikawa led Kinu Kawa Kazuki forward, "It's because I've been a Star for too long and forgot the Secret Tip for doing Part-time Jobs a few years ago. When I was in High School, I also worked Part-time at a Dessert Shop..."

"I can't imagine it..." Kinu Kawa Kazuki looked up at Kurara Midorikawa's somewhat cold expression, "Have you been criticized for having a bad Attitude?"

Kurara Midorikawa was even more embarrassed and sternly stopped him, "Kazuki, you're not allowed to Say that!"

Kinu Kawa Kazuki chuckled, but the heavy Mood quickly suppressed the smile at the corner of his mouth, "Older Sister Kurara, if we can't find a Shop for a Part-time Job, let's go to Street Singing Performance in the Night, if you don't mind losing Face."

"Sure, I'm not bad at Singing." Kurara Midorikawa smiled, sighing in her heart.

She originally thought Kinu Kawa Kazuki would cry and make a fuss, but she didn't expect him to be so sensible and resolute.

How could that unscrupulous Boss be willing to torment such a cute and sensible Child... Mad!
