Chapter 68: The Rhythm is a Bit Off
The Train arrived at Sapporo.
Kudo Yukiko told the Police that she seemed to see something slender in front of Asama Yasuji's Room. When the Police pressed her for details, she said she couldn't remember, and after mysteriously glancing at the Suspect, she turned and got off the Train.
Chi Feichi, holding Feichi, said to Darcy in a low voice, "Keep an eye on Kayue Rize."
Darcy nodded and helped carry the Bag off the Train.
There were many people coming and going on the Platform. Kudo Yukiko wandered around the Platform area.
"Conan, where are you going?"
Conan was about to follow when he was called out by Mouri Ran. Turning his head and seeing Chi Feichi following his mother not too far away, he felt a little relieved. "I'm going to find Brother Chi. He left his Things with me!"
"Hey, wait a minute!" Mouri Ran didn't have time to stop him and could only watch helplessly as Conan squeezed into the crowd and disappeared.
Conan's small body made it inconvenient to find someone in the crowd. Looking around, all he could see were legs, and looking up at faces, he couldn't see the way ahead...
When Kudo Yukiko stopped in front of a Platform, Chi Feichi noticed that Conan was already lost in the crowd and hadn't been able to follow at all.
Chi Feichi pretended to be waiting for another Train, staying a few people away from Kudo Yukiko. When he noticed Kayue Rize approaching, he didn't pay too much attention.
Kayue Rize also noticed Chi Feichi. He hesitated for a moment but still quietly approached Kudo Yukiko, completely unaware that Darcy was following behind him, and also unaware of Kudo Yusaku, who was also slowly moving towards Kudo Yukiko.
After seeing Kudo Yusaku, Chi Feichi planned to just watch from the sidelines.
It's better to leave the opportunity to her husband...
Ten seconds passed, and Kayue Rize was still pretending to approach casually.
Twenty seconds passed, and Kayue Rize was still approaching Kudo Yukiko at a snail's pace.
Forty seconds passed, and Kayue Rize finally reached behind Kudo Yukiko, pretending to wait for the Train.
Chi Feichi was speechless and continued to wait.
A minute passed, the Train roared in, and Kayue Rize slowly reached out...
One minute and ten seconds, Kayue Rize was still reaching out, Kudo Yusaku moved to the side, without any movement...
Chi Feichi: "..."
One minute and fifteen seconds, Kayue Rize was still reaching out at a snail's pace, and Kudo Yusaku still didn't move...
Chi Feichi couldn't bear it anymore, directly grabbed Kayue Rize's hand, and with a backhand Shoulder Throw, 'duang'ed him to the Ground.
Just a sneak attack, did he have to dawdle for so long?
Pretend to approach casually, quickly reach out and push, take advantage of the chaos to blend into the crowd and leave. Be steady in lurking, and be quick, accurate, and ruthless in striking. That's the right way to do it, okay!
The surrounding people were startled and quickly backed away.
Only Darcy, with a calm face, and Kudo Yusaku, who was a bit speechless, remained in place.
Conan ran over, let out a long sigh of relief, and saw Kudo Yusaku also standing aside. He was a little surprised, but he didn't ask much, "A-Are you alright?"
Kudo Yukiko waved her hand with a smile, "It's nothing, nothing."
Conan looked at Kayue Rize, who was motionless on the Ground, "I meant Mr. Kayue..."
Kudo Yukiko: "..."
She thought her son was worried about her, but looking at Kayue Rize like this, he really did need more concern than her...
"He just fainted," Chi Feichi said.
"Uh," Conan was speechless, "But..."
According to normal procedure, shouldn't they catch the person, have a Reasoning, confront each other, present Evidence, and then make the Culprit confess?
Now the Culprit has directly fainted, what step of the procedure should they take next...
A group of people surrounded Kayue Rize, who had fainted on the Ground, and remained silent for a long time.
Kudo Yukiko: "..."
It seems a bit troublesome.
Kudo Yusaku: "..."
Deduction is probably not going to work, the rhythm is a bit off.
Conan: "..."
He felt the atmosphere starting to become weird again...
Chi Feichi: "..."
Why isn't anyone talking?
Could it be that he has to say what to do next too?
If he had known, he would have held back and not rushed to act.
Darcy: "..."
If Master doesn't speak, I won't be talkative.
Once silence starts, it becomes more and more awkward, and the more awkward it is, the more silent they become.
Chi Feichi waited for a while and, finding that no one was still speaking, took the initiative to say, "The Evidence should be in his Bag."
"Let me see!" Conan opened the Backpack, "His Overcoat, Hat, and Mask for disguising as Asama Yasuji are all inside..."
Chi Feichi looked at Darcy, "Darcy, notify the Police to come and handle this."
"Wait," Kudo Yusaku called out to Darcy, "I want to wait for him to wake up and talk to him first. It would be best if we could persuade him to turn himself in."
Darcy looked at Chi Feichi.
Chi Feichi nodded, he didn't care how it was handled.
The atmosphere eased a lot. Kudo Yusaku walked to Kudo Yukiko's side and smiled at Chi Feichi, "Thank you for helping just now, otherwise my Wife might have been in danger."
"It's nothing, we agreed on it before." Chi Feichi didn't mind Kudo Yusaku's Subtle Intention to assert sovereignty.
"You are... Mr. Kudo Yusaku?" Darcy recognized Kudo Yusaku and looked at Kudo Yukiko, "Then your Wife..."
Kudo Yukiko took off her Sunglasses, smiled and winked, "I am Kudo Yukiko. I hid my True Identity before because I didn't want to be recognized and was worried about causing a Sensation. I'm really sorry!"
"Hello, I am Kudo Yusaku."
Kudo Yusaku reached out and shook hands with Chi Feichi.
"My name is Chi Feichi," Chi Feichi gave a Self-introduction and bid farewell, "Since everything is alright, then we'll leave first. Conan, you..."
"I saw Ran," Conan saw Mouri Ran coming this way, "Brother Chi, if you have something to do, go ahead and get busy!"
"Don't worry, this child won't get lost, and we will also wait for Ran to come over before leaving," Kudo Yukiko said with a smile, "Actually, we are also Relatives, right, Conan?"
"Yes!" Conan nodded emphatically.
"We really troubled you this time, but maybe we'll meet again in a while!" Kudo Yusaku said to Chi Feichi with a smile.
Chi Feichi nodded and turned to leave...
He left...
Kudo Yusaku was stunned for a moment, "Isn't he curious why I said we'll meet again?"
"He won't be curious. Sometimes I suspect he doesn't have any curiosity at all," Conan complained, but he himself became curious, "But I'm curious, why did you say that?"
"He is the Heir of the Field Group, right? Field Group has invested in an interesting Project," Kudo Yusaku said with a smile, keeping it mysterious, "What exactly it is... let's keep it Confidential for now, you'll know when the time comes!"
"That's the same as saying nothing..." Conan glanced at his Father.
It's too much bullying for someone with strong curiosity like him!
After leaving the Platform, Chi Feichi asked, "Why did Mr. Kudo Yusaku say we'll meet again?"
Darcy thought for a moment, "It should be related to the investment on the Field Group's side. I don't know too much about it, but I heard that Mr. Kudo Yusaku is involved. For specifics, you can call and ask the Person in Charge of foreign investment at Field Group."
...
Tokyo.
When Asama Yasuji woke up, he had already been handed over to the Metropolitan Police Department by the National Police Agency. Knowing that he couldn't escape, he cooperated and confessed, but in the end, he couldn't help but ask, "Why am I here?"
Wataru Takagi was taken aback. It was the first time he had seen a criminal ask this question.
Why is he here? Wasn't he caught and sent over by the National Police Agency?
Inspector Megure was silent for a moment. Originally, these things didn't need to be said to criminals, but considering that some people already knew about 'July' and he was also responsible for inquiring about the Process of Asama Yasuji's capture, he simply asked directly, "Do you know July?"
Asama Yasuji's face changed slightly. As a Fugitive, he had naturally heard of the Bounty Hunter who was recently in the Limelight in Japan, "Was it him?"
Inspector Megure nodded, "Don't you remember how you were caught?"
Asama Yasuji was a little dazed and looked at Inspector Megure, "How was I caught?"
"Can you tell me about the Process of your capture?" Inspector Megure avoided Asama Yasuji's question.
"Last week, I was tricked by that Jewelry Store Owner, the Robbery was unsuccessful, and I didn't plan to stay in Tokyo for long. After that, that guy Kayue gave me the Hokutosei Train Ticket and Disguise Tools to help me escape Tokyo," Asama Yasuji tried hard to recall, "After I got on the Hokutosei Train, around 5 PM, I went to the Dining Room to have someone deliver Dinner to my Room. When I came back, I met Mori Kogoro in the Corridor..."
"Mr. Mouri?" Ninzaburo Shiratori, who was beside him, couldn't help but speak out. As a result, he was glanced at by Inspector Megure and then realized that he shouldn't have interrupted Asama Yasuji's words.
Fortunately, Asama Yasuji was still immersed in his Memory, frowning, "I was worried about being recognized by Mori Kogoro, so I quickly returned to my Room. Not long after I closed the Door, I heard a Knocking Sound. I didn't rush to open the Door, and the other party slipped a Paper Strip in from the Door Crack..."
As he said this, he couldn't help but rummage through his Pocket.
"You only have a Train Ticket and some Money in your Pocket. Also, when you were sent over, there was also the Gun you used in the Robbery," Inspector Megure said, "The Paper Strip you mentioned should have been taken away by July long ago. What was written on the Paper Strip?"
"It said that my Whereabouts had been exposed. If I didn't want to be surrounded and arrested by the Police at the Terminal Station, I should go to Washroom No. 04 alone," Asama Yasuji said with some annoyance, "If I had known, I should have jumped off the Train and escaped! But at the time, I just thought someone wanted to take the opportunity to blackmail me, so I went to the Washroom. There was no one in the Washroom at the time. There was a Paper Strip stuck on the Mirror, which said to close the Door and stay inside alone. After that, it seemed like something rushed past me. I only heard the sound of the Door Lock being locked, and I didn't see clearly what it was before I fainted..."
"He was hiding in the Washroom?" Inspector Megure asked.
"No, it couldn't be a person," Asama Yasuji said firmly, "There were no Coverings in the Washroom. I checked when I went in. It's absolutely impossible for anyone to hide inside!"
"Could it be some kind of Mechanism?" Ninzaburo Shiratori guessed, "After you went in and closed the Door, you activated that Mechanism, locked the lock, and released a Gas that made people faint..."
