Chapter 34 - Chapter 34: Seiran Hoshi's Counterattack Failed

Seiran Hoshi was puzzled about how such things appeared in her bag, squinted and held her breath, hesitating between taking the opportunity to kill these people and escaping as soon as possible.

Chi Feichi vaguely saw Seiran Hoshi's reaction in the smoke, wearing Shiratori Ninzaburo's face, stepped forward to pretend to attack, helping Seiran Hoshi make a decision as soon as possible.

"Don't run!" Conan also gave an assist in the smoke.

Seiran Hoshi saw that there was more than one person who hadn't lost consciousness, immediately decided to go first, shot at Chi Feichi casually, regardless of whether Chi Feichi dodged, ran to the deck and jumped down, escaped into the sea.

Conan chased out, but it was too late, stared solemnly at the sea that had returned to calm.

Beside him, a figure followed closely out, scanning the sea surface, with a cold expression, "Damn! She escaped!"

Conan turned his head in doubt, Officer Shiratori?

No! Officer Shiratori couldn't have reacted so quickly in a sudden attack!

Even if Officer Shiratori could react and was not knocked down by the hypnotic gas, he would not show such a terrible look...

Who is it?

Who is this guy?!

After Chi Feichi distracted Conan's attention for Seiran Hoshi, he put away the gloom on his face and turned to look at Conan, whose expression gradually became wary.

He was really worried that Conan would come up with a 'very scientific' football shot and knock Seiran Hoshi unconscious in the sea.

Now that Seiran Hoshi is almost far away from the ship, this bounty target can be considered saved from the Death God primary school student...

Conan also stared fixedly at the 'Officer Shiratori' in front of him, his brain turning quickly.

Disguise technique?

Is it Phantom Thief Kid?

No, if his guess is correct, Phantom Thief Kid should have disguised as Chi Feichi to get on the ship.

Then who exactly is this person in front of him? Phantom Thief Kid's accomplice?

"Conan, go inside first," Chi Feichi smiled and said in Shiratori Ninzaburo's gentle tone, "It's dangerous for a child to stay outside when the armed criminal is still unaccounted for."

"Uh... Yes~" Conan was a little freaked out by the speed of the face change of the person in front of him, and ran into the cabin.

The people in the cabin had been woken up by Kaito Kuroba one after another, the police decided to return to the police department to arrange the pursuit.

Chi Feichi disguised as Shiratori Ninzaburo, left by helicopter with the police. After arriving at the Metropolitan Police Department, he found an excuse to leave everyone's sight, also left the Metropolitan Police Department, 'borrowed' a car on the roadside and rushed towards Yokosuka Castle.

And after Seiran Hoshi jumped into the sea, she found the right direction and swam towards the coast with all her might.

This place is still some distance from Tokyo Port, even she is not sure if she can escape.

Fortunately, she encountered a rusty abandoned fishing boat floating on the sea on the way.

Seiran Hoshi vigilantly observed for a while, then climbed onto the fishing boat to rest, completely unaware that two people were discussing her matters via email.

Kaito Kuroba: [The place where she jumped into the sea is not close to Tokyo Bay. If she doesn't find a boat, the possibility of drowning in the sea is high]

Chi Feichi: [I prepared an abandoned fishing boat for her, enough for her to recover her strength and swim to the shore]

Kaito Kuroba: [You won't really let the person run away, right?]

Chi Feichi: [No, rumors cannot be fully believed, but some information can be analyzed. From her past actions, she is a ruthless, cold-blooded, revengeful person with a severe collection addiction who will not stop until she achieves her goal. Knowing that there is another egg in Yokosuka Castle, she won't not go, will go there early to prepare, want to seize the egg and by the way kill Mouri Kogoro who exposed her identity for revenge, interest plus hatred, enough to lead her there]

Kaito Kuroba: [But have you ever thought that the hypnotic gas and tear gas were taken by you from me, sudden appearance of things not belonging to her in her bag, she will definitely be suspicious, right? If she realizes someone is manipulating things behind the scenes, will she still go to Yokosuka Castle according to your plan?]

Chi Feichi: [Except for those two beads, there is also a Kid card in her bag, which was also taken from you by the way. It says 'I've accepted the treasure'. Combining with 'Phantom Thief Kid's' usual style of acting, Seiran Hoshi is very likely to guess it as——'Phantom Thief Kid wanted to use me to create a diversion, but he didn't expect that he happened to help me'...]

Kaito Kuroba: [Uh... You have already gone to Yokosuka Castle to block her?]

Chi Feichi: [Still two hours drive]

Kaito Kuroba: [Then what should I do? That brat has already suspected this identity, I still want to follow to see the masterpiece of the 'Magician of the Century']

Chi Feichi: [Don't you have a way?]

Kaito Kuroba: ...

Why does it feel that not only Seiran Hoshi, but even he is also arranged clearly?

Shook his head, cleared the mailbox, came out of the restroom compartment, pretended to have gone to the toilet and washed his hands.

The door of the restroom was opened, and Conan's small figure appeared at the door, "Aren't you going to chase that guy for revenge?"

Kaito Kuroba's movements paused, then continued to wipe the water off his hands with a towel as if nothing happened, "When did you discover it?"

"When I asked you if you had seen or heard of Chinese people with gray eyes, I had already noticed you. You probably think that a person who doesn't like to talk and seems to have little emotional fluctuations is easier to disguise, so you disguised as Mr. Chi," Conan said, "But what you don't know is that he won't say lazy mood words like 'Ah', although he is quite lazy, but he is lazy to the point that he is too lazy to say even these mood words, directly say things when there are things."

Kaito Kuroba: "..."

That was acted by Chi Feichi! Acted!

At that time he hadn't switched over yet, okay?

"And what made me sure you have a problem is... Feichi!" Conan continued, "Mr. Chi almost always carries Feichi with him, although Feichi will hide under his clothes many times, but occasionally Feichi will also quietly poke his head out from his cuff to look. You can disguise as Mr. Chi, but Feichi is a snake, this kind of pet is probably only Mr. Chi as the owner dares to carry with him, this is also the biggest flaw you can't avoid."

Kaito Kuroba seemed to get the way to deal with detectives from Chi Feichi, don't say anything, don't behave too obviously, secretly guide, these detectives' cleverness can be used instead, immediately said with interest, "Then you have also confirmed it, right?"

"Of course, I already called Hattori to the hotel where Mr. Chi lives to confirm," Conan stared at Kaito Kuroba and said, "He found Feichi in the bushes outside the hotel, I think it should be when Mr. Chi came out of the hotel in the morning, you used some means to make him fall asleep, and then disguised as him to board the ship, right? As long as searching in the nearby toilets and storage rooms, should be able to find him."

"Can't find him," Kaito Kuroba smiled with Chi Feichi's face, smoothing things over for Chi Feichi, "This identity I still have to borrow for a while, can't let him be discovered now."

"What do you want to do?" Conan asked closely, "Aren't you afraid I'll go and expose you?"

"Feel free to go if you want," Kaito Kuroba spread his hands, "But, do you think Scorpion will give up on this? With me following to Yokosuka Castle, it's always a guarantee."

Conan frowned, "You also want that egg?"

"No, I just want to appreciate it," Kaito Kuroba knew Conan didn't believe it, and put another bait, "And, that Miss Ran seems to suspect you something..."

Conan carefully recalled, his face changed slightly.

Thinking about it this way, Ran's behavior today is indeed a bit wrong, could it be...

"With me here, I can solve the code and reason instead of you," Kaito Kuroba guided patiently, "With Chi Feichi's identity, making some powerful reasoning is very normal."

After balancing the pros and cons, Conan still chose to compromise, glanced at Kaito Kuroba's 'Chi Feichi' face, slightly gloating, "Mr. Chi has a very good relationship with Feichi, you didn't leave Feichi beside him, casually threw outside, this grudge is big."

Kaito Kuroba's steps paused, continued to walk out of the restroom door, said with a dark face, "Can't I not want to touch the snake."

Obviously that guy himself left Feichi there to lie to you guys, okay...

Conan saw Kaito Kuroba leaving, turned around and said, "If you hit the idea of those two eggs, I will still expose you!"

"Whatever."

"Hey, did you bring a helper this time?"

"No."

Kaito Kuroba left straight away.

Conan stood at the door of the restroom contemplating, not Kid's helper, then who exactly is the guy disguised as Officer Shiratori?

...

Late at night.

Near Yokosuka Castle, a car drove into the woods.

Not long after, another car drove over, also turned into the woods.

In the car, Seiran Hoshi took out the Kid card from the bag and stared at it for a moment.

When did Phantom Thief Kid put the thing in her bag?

When boarding the ship during the day, she checked it. There were no things belonging to others in the bag. That is to say, that thief mixed onto the ship and wanted to use her to create a diversion, and also knew her identity and appearance, maybe even discovered something, must be eliminated.

Other people contacted are also the same, especially that damnable detective!

Clearly acted like a confused middle-aged uncle before, actually hid so deep!

As for this card...

Should she leave it at the scene to mislead the police and distract the police's attention after she solves those people?

Seiran Hoshi was stunned, then chuckled lightly, after getting off the car, tossed the card away casually, and walked towards the castle.

No need at all, the police will sooner or later suspect that she did it, and also arranging to arrest her, then sneak in in advance, wait for those people to step into the trap, bury them together with this castle!

Seiran Hoshi walked to the castle gate with coldness flashing in her eyes.

Seiran Hoshi skillfully pried open the lock and pushed the door in cautiously.

Seiran Hoshi felt a strong wind hitting from the side, wanted to dodge sideways and raise the gun.

Seiran Hoshi's counterattack failed and lost consciousness.

Chi Feichi used a handkerchief smeared with ether to supplement, making Seiran Hoshi sleep deeper, took the gun in Seiran Hoshi's hand with gloved hands, looked at it, and confiscated it.

PPKS, produced in Germany, belongs to the variant of the PPK series, small and light in stature, multiple insurance, not his favorite pistol, but still very good as a trophy.

The bounty didn't say that the gun must also be handed over together. It's also good to keep it as a spare gun. Without the physical evidence of the pistol, the police are not unable to close the case.

However, Seiran Hoshi used this gun to shoot Ryu Sagawa. After Seiran Hoshi goes to jail, the police will also know that the gun is in his hands. If he uses it, through ballistic comparison, the police will know that he used the gun.

Can serve as a backup firearm.

Chi Feichi cleaned up the traces of entering the door, took the person out of the castle, and looked at the marks of being pried on the door.

This can't be cleaned up...
