Chapter 92: You're Heartless!
When Masahiko Michie passed by, Chi Feichi only glanced out the lowered Car Window and quickly shifted his Line of Sight.
He had already milked everything he needed from Masahiko Michie, who was no longer worth paying attention to. It was better to think about the Video of Conan's drunken state last night. It seemed to reveal secrets but didn't actually reveal anything, making it perfect for scaring people...
Masahiko Michie saw that Chi Feichi only glanced at him indifferently. That feeling of being completely ignored made his heart feel stifled. "You..."
The Police stopped and looked at Chi Feichi in confusion.
The culprit had already been apprehended. If it was someone he knew, saying a few Words wouldn't be a Problem.
"What is it?" Chi Feichi asked absentmindedly.
He didn't think he had any Relationship with Masahiko Michie, except for last night when he was worried Masahiko Michie would expose himself prematurely, so they chatted for a while and talked about Hissashi's Snake Venom Situation.
Masahiko Michie didn't know what to say for a moment, and before leaving, he said indignantly, "Heartless!"
Chi Feichi: "..."
What the heck?
What did he do?
This person is being unreasonable!
Conan walked to the Car Side, smiling and teasing, "Hey, did you do something to him for him to say that?"
"I didn't do anything to him," Chi Feichi rested his Arm on the Car Window, leaned his Body out a bit, looked down at Conan, and lowered his Tone slightly, "But do you know, you secretly drank Liquor last night, and what did you say after getting drunk?"
Secretly drank Liquor?
Haibara Ai, sitting in the Passenger Seat, tilted her Head curiously.
"I..." The smile on Conan's Face froze slightly. He quickly recalled the events of last night in his Mind, only remembering that he went to sleep after drinking too much. "What did I say?"
Chi Feichi didn't continue, retracted his Line of Sight, looked at the front Car Window, and said in a Tone that didn't reveal any Emotion, "I didn't expect you to be this kind of Conan."
"What exactly did I say?" Conan still couldn't recall anything he had said, and he suspected Chi Feichi was trying to trick him. He opened the Back Car Door, climbed into the Car, "Hey, you're not trying to get information out of me, are you?"
Haibara Ai, with a Mood of watching a good show, turned her Head to look at Chi Feichi, "I'm a little curious about what he says when he's drunk."
Chi Feichi took out his Mobile Phone, lowered his Head to look at the Screen, found the Video, and pressed play.
A clear and a muddled voice of conversation came out:
"Conan, is there someone you like?"
"Ran..."
"Miss Ran? She's much older than you, you two are not suitable."
Pause.
Chi Feichi turned his Head to look at Conan in the Back Seat, "You said you like Ran."
Conan froze in place, his Hands and Foot feeling heavy, but his Heart was thumping very fast.
No, no, saying he likes Ran is not important. He's a Child now, and Children like too many things. Even if others hear it, they won't take it to Heart. What's important is, what did he say next?
In that Situation, when he heard someone say Ran was much older than him and not suitable, what would he say?
That they are Childhood Sweethearts? That he has become smaller?
He simply didn't dare to think further!
Haibara Ai originally wanted to watch a good show, but now she couldn't watch anymore. She tried hard to maintain the calmness on her Face and asked, "And then? Did he say anything else?"
"There wasn't much after that, just some messy Words." Chi Feichi continued to press play.
Conan's voice came out again, "No... I... become smaller..."
After that, it was Chi Feichi's clearer voice: "Become smaller? What do you mean?"
"Hmm..."
The Progress Bar reached the end.
Chi Feichi put away his Mobile Phone, "That's all."
Conan broke out in a sweat, but also secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Judging from Chi Feichi's Reaction, the focus seemed to be on the fact that he liked Mouri Ran. The Words afterwards seemed to be taken as drunken nonsense?
Haibara Ai turned her Head to look at Conan in the Back Seat, desperately winking to hint that Conan should quickly smooth things over.
"No wonder... I Dreamed last night that I went to Lilliput, and the people and Houses around me all became smaller, it startled me!" Conan scratched his Head and smiled with narrowed Eyes, trying hard to express that he was very innocent and harmless, "As for liking Ran, I do like Ran, and I also like Brother Chi..."
Chi Feichi was expressionless, opened the Car Door, got out of the Car, and closed the Door, all in one go.
He understood what Conan meant, but the famous Detective acting cute towards him like this was a bit too much for him to watch...
"Like Sonoko, like everyone..." Conan finished speaking, and found that the only response to him was the Sound of the Car Door closing, and Chi Feichi had already started moving towards the Edge of the Woods, "Huh?"
Haibara Ai was also stunned for a moment, turned her Head to look at Conan, "You won."
Conan: "..."
Did he... disgust Chi Feichi and make him run away?
"But you might not have such good Luck next time. No, maybe not even next time. With his Keenness, as long as he discovers the Connection between you and Kudo Shinichi, he might understand the true meaning of 'become smaller'," Haibara Ai also opened the Car Door. Before getting out of the Car, she turned her Head back to look at Conan, her expression serious, "In short, I will keep a close eye on you in the future..."
"Keep an eye, keep an eye on me?" Conan didn't understand for a moment why Haibara Ai suddenly said this.
"To prevent you from being influenced by a certain decadent Uncle from the Detective Agency and becoming a Drunkard who is drunk all day, or a Drunkard who blurts out shocking Secrets when drunk." Haibara Ai had a black line on her Face. They had agreed to keep their mouths shut, but Conan went to drink Liquor, and then revealed secrets when drunk, what was that about?
Conan was choked by Haibara Ai's sudden Venomous Tongue. However, he absolutely disagreed with being put together with Mori Kogoro. "Hey hey, I didn't reveal that much, this time was just an Accident..."
Haibara Ai got out of the Car, pulled up the Hat on her Clothes and put it on. Suddenly, she saw Hissashi still left beside the Seat, and was stunned for a moment. She reached out and picked up Hissashi, "Hissashi was forgotten in the Car."
"Hey, are you even listening to me?" Conan gave her a half-moon Eye.
"I think you'd better follow and take a look now," Haibara Ai reminded him, closing the Car Door.
"What follow and take a look?" Conan turned his Head in confusion, looked in the direction Chi Feichi left, and then realized that Chi Feichi was standing at the Edge of the Woods talking to Mouri Ran, and was immediately startled.
Crap!
Actually, Chi Feichi didn't tell Mouri Ran about Conan. Even if he said Conan liked Mouri Ran, Mouri Ran would probably just laugh it off as a Child's liking for people around him.
And he wasn't a talkative person either. He came to find Mouri Ran just to ask...
"Brother Chi came to ask me if Sonoko and Kyogoku got lost in the Forest," Mouri Ran leaned down and smiled at Conan, "But I really didn't expect that Brother Chi and Kyogoku went to the same High School."
After Conan got the Words out of Mouri Ran, he also breathed a sigh of relief. He looked at Chi Feichi, who was being pulled aside by Haibara Ai to talk. It seemed they had overthought it. Chi Feichi probably didn't take last night's matter to Heart, just treating it as a small Prank.
But, why did Ran also start calling him Brother Chi like Sonoko?
"Sonoko initially thought Kyogoku was someone Brother Chi found to act," Mouri Ran straightened up and turned her Head to Chi Feichi, "Because Brother Chi and Kyogoku have the same Scent on them, a Scent that's similar to Liquor but also like Herb. Sonoko discovered it last night. Later, Kyogoku told Sonoko that you were his Senior from the same High School. When he sparred with you, both of you were Injured, and that was the Medicated Wine you gave him..."
Chi Feichi didn't expect there to be such a scene in the middle, but as long as the general development of things was not a Problem, it was fine.
"I didn't expect that Young Miss to have such Keenness," Haibara Ai said in a leisurely Tone, "However, Women are indeed more sensitive to Scent."
"Uh, um..." Mouri Ran was a little confused. This Child was really like Conan, sometimes like a little adult.
Conan looked at Haibara Ai speechlessly. She was only talking about him, but she herself wasn't restrained at all...
Haibara Ai looked back without any guilt. Her Persona was a Precocious Genius Girl, what was the Problem?
Conan: "..."
Thinking that his Persona in front of Chi Feichi was a Split Personality Patient, he suddenly didn't want to talk anymore.
If he had known earlier, that time when Chi Feichi felt he wasn't like a Child, he should have disguised a Genius Elementary School Student Persona...
Did he accidentally go down the wrong path?
