"Wataru Takagi: "Your relationship with Mutsumi Nishikawa is…""
Chi Feichi: "No relationship."
Wataru Takagi: "Mutsumi Nishikawa had plastic surgery to look like Mamiya Masuyo, the old lady of the Mamiya Family. Until the attack on the children who went to the Old Castle for lodging, she didn't show any abnormality, did she?"
Chi Feichi: "She was pretending to be a senile old woman."
Wataru Takagi choked, "Specifically? Besides pretending to be senile, anything else?"
"Nothing else." Chi Feichi answered very simply.
Pretending to be senile is already abnormal in itself, what else counts as an abnormality?
Wataru Takagi coughed lightly, "Then, the date of the incident was?"
Chi Feichi was silent for a moment, and took a deep breath, "Police Officer Takagi, you are making things difficult for me."
He didn't look at the calendar that day. With the time perception of this world, he couldn't even deduce what month and day it was.
And he didn't bring Feichi here today, asking him about the date that day is definitely asking the wrong person.
"What?" Wataru Takagi asked in confusion.
"The Metropolitan Police Department should have asked the Hospital about me. I have Time Perception Disorder," Chi Feichi looked at Wataru Takagi calmly, "And you are still asking me what month and day it was?"
Ayumi wanted to speak up to remind him, but was hushed by Conan. It was already against the rules for them to take written statements together, and they couldn't talk nonsense even more during the recording.
Wataru Takagi looked down at the record, "Uh, but you answered the date you went to the Mamiya Family before…"
"I was discharged from the Hospital that day. When Mr. Mamiya Mitsuru went to sign the document, I saw the date at the bottom of the document," Chi Feichi said.
Wataru Takagi broke out in a sweat and laughed awkwardly, "Hahaha, in that case, you can use the date of arrival and the number of days of lodging to calculate the date of the incident, right?"
Chi Feichi remained silent, his eyes cold.
If he could have calculated it, he would have answered already.
Wataru Takagi felt a chill down his spine: "..."
Why is he staring at him like that? Did he say something wrong?
Conan secretly observed from the side. Chi Feichi's gaze did change, but it was just the difference between calm, calm with a little coldness, calm with some coldness, and calm with extreme coldness…
Sure enough, it's better to ask the Hospital.
Chi Feichi reminded Wataru Takagi again, "I have Time Perception Disorder."
"Okay… Okay," Wataru Takagi sweated, lowered his head and continued to record, sighing in his heart. He, a Police Officer, was threatened by someone's gaze at the Metropolitan Police Department, and even compromised. He felt a bit aggrieved, "Mr. Chi Feichi has Time Perception Disorder, it is indeed inappropriate to ask you about the date. Then, please explain in detail the Events of that day."
When he said 'detailed', the pronunciation of the word was a bit heavy.
Chi Feichi: "That day, around 6 PM, Doctor Agasa took Edogawa Conan, Haibara Ai, Ayumi Yoshida, Kojima Genta, and Tsuburaya Mitsuhiko, these five children, to the Mamiya Family for lodging. Before dinner, Conan disappeared. When I went to stay there, I discovered the Secret Passage in the Old Castle, guessed that Conan had entered the Secret Passage, so I went to look for him…"
Wataru Takagi breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. He didn't expect Chi Feichi to be quite cooperative in taking the Written Statement, which was good.
Chi Feichi was indeed patiently cooperating.
"In a Secret Room in the Secret Passage, I found Conan who was tied up.
When I was taking Conan away, I almost bumped into Mutsumi Nishikawa. I guessed that she was taking other people who had been attacked there. After bypassing her, I returned to the Secret Room and found Doctor Agasa who was tied up.
When I was about to leave the Secret Passage, I found Genta who had fainted, and then met Mitsuhiko who was looking for them.
From Mitsuhiko, I learned that they had all entered the Secret Passage. We used the Tracking Glasses that Doctor Agasa made for Conan and found that they were moving towards the Annex. After leaving the Secret Passage, we chased after them from above and found them in the Annex, as well as Mutsumi Nishikawa who was chasing them."
Wataru Takagi recorded while pondering, and the more he thought about it, the weirder it became.
Simply put, it was a group of people playing hide-and-seek?
Chi Feichi was the 'it' who was looking for people everywhere, found everyone, and incidentally blocked a suspect.
Doctor Agasa and the others all had strange expressions. They hadn't thought about it carefully after solving the case, but now that they heard it, Chi Feichi was really quite hardworking that day…
Wataru Takagi finished recording and continued to ask, "Regarding Mutsumi Nishikawa's arson murder four years ago…"
Chi Feichi said, "It was Doctor Agasa's Deduction. The culprit Mutsumi Nishikawa confessed."
"Can it be confirmed?" Wataru Takagi asked again.
"Confirmed." Chi Feichi confirmed.
Wataru Takagi asked two more questions, looked at it, and it seemed there was nothing else to record. The length still looked very concise, but it was also clear. He asked Chi Feichi to check, printed it out, and had Chi Feichi sign it. Then he immediately went to ask Doctor Agasa and the Junior Detective League for their Written Statements.
Haibara Ai used the excuse of not feeling well and refused to give a Written Statement, staying aside with Chi Feichi.
The case was superficially Doctor Agasa's Deduction, but in fact, Conan contributed the most. Conan encouraged the other three children to supplement and remind, and they directly made the Written Statements of a group of people into one.
This was not impossible, but a group of people had to sign the printed document.
Wataru Takagi put away the signed document, "Next is the movie theater murder Incident. We need Mr. Chi and the children to give Written Statements…"
Chi Feichi was inspired by Doctor Agasa, "Let them speak, I will supplement."
Wataru Takagi was stunned for a moment before realizing that Chi Feichi meant to supplement each other and record it together, "Y-yes, that's also okay…"
"I'm waiting to sign," Haibara Ai said.
Wataru Takagi: "..."
Look, he found two guys who were too lazy to even do Written Statements!
Afterwards, the three children chattered, and Conan supplemented from time to time. It had to be said that it was much more detailed than Chi Feichi's concise style, and the whole Deduction demonstration process was described vividly.
Chi Feichi only said 'confirmed' twice, and then signed together.
"Next is the magician enthusiast Incident at the Snowfield Mountain Villa," Wataru Takagi said with a smile, "Doctor Agasa and the other children can take a rest…"
Chi Feichi hadn't even realized that he had accumulated so many Written Statements.
Looking at the time, it was already past six in the afternoon, and he also wanted to rest…
"Conan speaks, I supplement."
"Me?" Conan looked at Chi Feichi speechlessly, "The Deduction of this case was all done by you, and the Method afterwards was also drawn by you and given to the Police…"
"I told you," Chi Feichi stared at Conan, "Right?"
Whoever brings death is responsible, anyway, Japanese elementary school students really have very little homework, isn't it good to treat it as another extracurricular assignment?
Conan: "..."
Yes, he saw through the Method, but he saw through it himself. When did Chi Feichi tell him?
This bastard Chi Feichi was sure that he knew the Method, right?
Isn't this bullying him for his strong Reasoning Ability?
Conan really wanted to retort, but after glaring at each other for two seconds, he was still suppressed by the gloomy gaze, retracted his gaze, and turned to look at Wataru Takagi.
He, a famous Detective, was actually threatened by someone's gaze at the Metropolitan Police Department. Do the Police care?!
Not only did Wataru Takagi not care, but he also decisively stood on Chi Feichi's side, smiling gently, "Conan, you can speak."
The corner of Conan's mouth twitched slightly, and he endured the Grievance in his heart, "Yes~ That day was…"
Wataru Takagi recorded swiftly, feeling very comfortable in his heart.
Letting Conan speak was really the right decision, he even reported the Date skillfully!
In the middle, Genta, Mitsuhiko, and Ayumi were a little restless. When Sato Miwako finished her work, she and Doctor Agasa took the three children out for a walk.
After signing again, Wataru Takagi got up and poured a glass of Water for Conan, "Conan, drink some Water first, take a rest…"
Conan felt aggrieved but held back from saying it, pretending to be a child with a pure smile, "Thank you, Police Officer Takagi~"
In the past, when taking Written Statements, Doctor Agasa and the Junior Detective League would speak with him, and he didn't feel so tired. This time, encountering Chi Feichi, this lazy bum, it was simply child abuse!
