Chapter 94: Are you drunk?
"No, no, it's not that, I'm just afraid of snakes," Mori Kogoro said, becoming boisterous after drinking liquor, saying whatever came to mind, "Besides, you kid looked too cold, like you were hard to get along with, what could I say to you? But now I realize, you kid is actually quite good, your drinking capacity is comparable to mine!"
Chi Feichi: "..."
Was he overthinking it before?
"Dad..." Mouri Ran was exasperated, she shouldn't have let Mori Kogoro drink liquor!
Conan also watched Mori Kogoro speechlessly. One bottle of liquor, almost split in half, seeing that Chi Feichi was still very sober, where did this drunken Uncle get the courage to say their drinking capacity was comparable?
Mori Kogoro was completely lost in himself, "Oh, actually thinking about it this way, you're much better than some arrogant High School Student Kid who only knows how to solve cases... No, no, I only have one Daughter, it's absolutely impossible for me to watch her suffer in a Rich Family, so you shouldn't overthink it!"
Chi Feichi: "..."
Conan: "..."
What is this Uncle thinking about?
Mouri Ran once again regretted why she let Mori Kogoro drink liquor...
Mori Kogoro continued to ramble on, "I heard from Inspector Megure that you solved the Magician enthusiast Incident last time, right? Your Reasoning Ability is actually not bad, but compared to a real Detective, it's still far behind. Let me tell you, being a Detective is not that easy..."
Conan chuckled inwardly. Mori Kogoro was like this when he drank too much, he was already used to it. He wanted to see if Chi Feichi felt that the image of the Famous Detective Mori was collapsing, but when he turned his head to look, he found that Chi Feichi was still listening with a calm face, unable to see any Emotion, and he was speechless again.
Two abnormal weirdos.
I'm eating!
"But, if you think the life of Rich people is too boring and want to experience the feeling of being a Detective, I can also give you some pointers. Why don't you Take me as a disciple!" Mori Kogoro said with a smile, patting Chi Feichi's Shoulder, "In the future, if those Rich people you know need to find a Detective, you can directly introduce them to me, just consider it your tuition fee, how about it?"
Conan almost spat out a mouthful of Soup.
Who gave Uncle the confidence to think Chi Feichi would Take him as a disciple and even say he could teach Chi Feichi Deduction?
He always thought that no matter how unreliable Uncle was, that was it, he didn't expect that he could refresh his view again!
Chi Feichi did seriously consider it for a moment. Thinking of Mori Kogoro's two future disciples, he was very willing to agree.
There might not be any practical benefits, but occupying the position of Eldest disciple, he could take advantage.
However, although he had never met Kuroba Toichi, he had learned his Disguise Technique and read the Legacy Notes, Kuroba Kaito had always recognized him as Kuroba Toichi's disciple, if he were to Take another as a disciple, he should tell Kuroba Kaito...
"Dad, don't talk nonsense," Mouri Ran saw Chi Feichi's Silence, afraid that Chi Feichi would be embarrassed, and quickly smoothed things over, "Feichi bro, don't mind it, my Dad just likes to talk nonsense when he's drunk."
"No, I'm considering it," Chi Feichi looked at Mori Kogoro, his expression calm and serious, "Mr. Mouri, I have Taken a Magician as a disciple before, but I can't contact him temporarily. However, before Taking you as a disciple, I think I should tell his Family."
Seeing Chi Feichi so serious, Mori Kogoro's drunkenness subsided a bit, and he murmured, "Uh, you're right..."
"Then, excuse me for a moment."
Chi Feichi greeted them, got up and walked aside to make a Phone Call to Kuroba Kaito.
The Phone Call connected, and Kuroba Kaito seemed to be rummaging through something, rustling sounds, "You're back from Izu? Why did you suddenly think of giving me a Phone Call?"
"Just got back today, I'm at the Mouri Detective Agency," Chi Feichi said directly, "Mr. Mouri proposed that I Take him as a disciple and learn Deduction from him. I'm thinking of agreeing, but I've already Taken Teacher Toichi as a disciple first, so I should tell you before Taking another Teacher."
"Huh? Wait a minute!"
The rustling sound stopped, Kuroba Kaito said in surprise, "Take him as a disciple? Learn Deduction from that muddle-headed Uncle? Are you drunk?"
Chi Feichi was silent for a moment, raised his eyes and looked at the Night View outside the Glass window of the Mouri Detective Agency, "Not drunk."
"Since you're not drunk, then you must have your reasons. I don't have any objections, Magic and Deduction are different," Kuroba Kaito said with a smile in his voice, "I'm already very happy that you can make a Phone Call to tell me about it. Just do whatever you want to do!"
"Yeah," Chi Feichi paused for a moment, "Let's go out for a Feast tomorrow."
"You still remember you owe me a Feast, I thought you had forgotten! Let me say this first, I won't go if it's not a three-star restaurant," Kuroba Kaito said with a smile, "Oh right, I was just researching the Disguise Layering you mentioned, we'll talk about it in detail when we meet tomorrow."
"I also have some clues here," Chi Feichi said, "Then let's talk about it tomorrow."
"See you tomorrow." Kuroba Kaito hung up the Phone Call.
Chi Feichi considered for a moment, and made a Phone Call to Chi Shinnosuke.
"Father, I want to Take Mori Kogoro as a disciple."
Chi Shinnosuke was silent for a moment, "Okay, I'll go back in a couple of days, remember to take your Medicine."
The next second, the Phone Call was hung up.
Chi Feichi: "..."
Still the familiar Style.
After thinking about it, Chi Feichi still sent a text message to his Mom.
His Mom didn't know which country she was drifting in, maybe there was a time difference, so he decided against making a Phone Call and just sent a text message to let her know.
Originally, a Child should be closer to their Mother, but he was always a cuckoo occupying a magpie's nest Soul, unable to say whether he felt a gap or was a little guilty. Since transmigrating, he had contacted his Dad more often instead.
After the text message was sent, Chi Feichi waited for a while, and found that there was no reply, so he put away his Mobile Phone.
He wouldn't dwell on being neglected.
He already knew the Style of interaction in this Family, he didn't have much hope, and estimated that if the original Consciousness was still there, he wouldn't care either.
When the original consciousness was in Middle School, he had also tried to do bad things, trying to attract his Parents' Attention, but unfortunately it was useless. The couple was still busy Overseas as they should be.
The poor Child was desperate, and no longer did bad things, went to school honestly, and once suspected that he was not their biological Child.
However, not to mention Chi Shinnosuke, the Purple Eyes inherited from Chi Kana were very rare, and the possibility of not being biologically related was very small...
He went through the Memory repeatedly, analyzed the thoughts of the couple, roughly—let's not delay each other's business, if we have time, we are still Family.
Hmm... the premise is 'if we have time'.
A bit strange, but you get used to it.
Conan walked to Chi Feichi's side, still a little unbelievable, "Hey, hey, are you serious?"
Chi Feichi nodded, "Of course."
"You're not drunk, are you?" Conan sized up Chi Feichi suspiciously, although Chi Feichi looked very sober, he might be the kind of person who you can't tell is drunk.
Chi Feichi: "..."
Why does everyone think he's drunk?
How unliked is Mori Kogoro?
