The Detective Boys took action.
Conan went to the projection room to operate the projector, and Ai Haibara was responsible for turning on the air conditioning.
The other three children chimed in one after another, cooperating with the explanation.
It's not that Chi Feichi didn't participate. He grabbed the rope and played the role of the deceased who was hanged...
After the others went to the projection room to watch the method demonstrated by Conan, Ai Haibara returned to the projection hall, "Want to go over and have a look?"
Chi Feichi let go of the rope in his hand and jumped down, "Let's go."
Ai Haibara turned and walked towards the projection room, "You have weights tied to your body, and your weight has increased. In order to demonstrate without accidents, I turned the air conditioning to the maximum just now. Don't blame me if you catch a cold."
Chi Feichi turned his head and looked at Ai Haibara.
Ai Haibara raised her hand and touched her cheek, "Is there something on my face?"
"Actually, you can speak a little more directly and simply," Chi Feichi said word by word like teaching a child, "Be, careful, of, catching, a, cold."
The calm expression on Ai Haibara's face collapsed, and her face turned a little red from embarrassment.
She feels it's too pretentious to say it out loud, can't she? She just doesn't want to say it directly, can't she?
ヾ(■Д■)ノCan't she?
"You are so wordy!"
"Wait a minute." Chi Feichi stopped, took out his phone and took a picture of Ai Haibara with a click.
Ai Haibara was stunned, "What are you doing again?"
"Let you see your expression just now." Chi Feichi edited the photo, lowered the phone so that Ai Haibara could see it.
In addition to Ai Haibara's photo, a line of words was added below:
[I, am super fierce!]
Paired with Ai Haibara's expression of obviously being shy, embarrassed but trying hard to keep a straight face, it fits mysteriously.
Ai Haibara: "..."
Chi Feichi harvested an exclusive expression pack of Ai Haibara, put away the phone, and continued walking forward.
Ai Haibara hurriedly followed, "Delete it quickly..."
Chi Feichi: "I won't spread it."
Ai Haibara: "That's not okay either, delete it quickly."
Chi Feichi: "Won't delete."
Ai Haibara: "..."
If she fights with Chi Feichi, the chance of winning...
Cough, forget it, might as well consider whether she can grab the phone from Chi Feichi...
No, better think if there are other ways to get Chi Feichi's phone...
...
In the projection room, Minoru Furuhashi personally admitted the crime of murder.
"But, why did you do such a thing here?" Akio Muramatsu was disappointed and couldn't understand, "I thought you always liked our movie theater."
"Actually, I also told myself many times that I can't do this kind of thing here, but I really couldn't bear it anymore," Minoru Furuhashi walked to the observation window, nostalgically and sadly said, "To be honest, I like the scene seen from this window the most. I can have a panoramic view of the audience's reaction to enjoying the movie from this special seat..."
Akio Muramatsu lowered his head, and Megure Juzo also sighed.
Minoru Furuhashi continued, "However, that hateful guy made our customers slowly decrease. Yesterday was obviously Sunday, but unexpectedly there was only one customer..."
Chi Feichi walking to the door: "..."
Today is Tuesday, yesterday was Sunday?
Yesterday was obviously a school day. He always thought yesterday was Monday. After all, not only Teitan Elementary School, but even high school students from Teitan High School and Ekoda High School were attending school.
Thought it was just time confusion, didn't expect even school days can't be used as a reference.
However, thinking about Conan's 'school for one morning, holiday for twenty days', it's not surprising...
Minoru Furuhashi was still continuing to be sentimental, "Therefore, I wanted to hang him in front of this window, let him also properly experience what kind of taste this is, look at this desolate, miserable scenery, and this feeling of loneliness..."
"Even if he watches this deserted scene a hundred times, he cannot experience your mood," Chi Feichi walked into the door, "Humans are born as independent and different individuals, and can never experience the other party's feelings. Even if there are, they only come from imagination and substitution. The so-called understanding is just resonance caused by consistent concepts, similar experiences, and loneliness. In fact, no one can empathize with anyone's mood."
Megure Juzo: "Uh..."
Saying to Minoru Furuhashi now that 'the other party can't understand you at all' seems a bit blow...
But he couldn't refute it either. He couldn't possibly comfort Minoru Furuhashi against his conscience by saying 'I feel exactly the same as you', right?
Genta whispered, "Although I don't understand what Big Brother Chi is saying, it seems to make sense."
"Yeah," Ayumi turned to ask Mitsuhiko, "Mitsuhiko, did you understand?"
"This..." Mitsuhiko laughed dryly, "I didn't understand either."
Conan heard the three's whispering, and instantly felt funny and speechless. Children are good at this point, no worries, but if they don't understand why do they still think it makes sense...
Minoru Furuhashi was stunned for a moment, turned back and smiled bitterly, "Perhaps, but he is already dead, saying these things seems useless now."
"Alright, let's talk about the rest when we get to the Metropolitan Police Department with me." Megure Juzo said.
"Boss, I'm really sorry," Minoru Furuhashi apologized to Akio Muramatsu again, "I did such a selfish thing and made this movie theater lose face on the last day."
"Thinking about it now, it's probably fate to have today," Akio Muramatsu mocked himself, "Actually before he arrived here, our customers were already decreasing. A movie theater like ours simply cannot obtain popular new movies. It should have closed down long ago. Plus there are so many VCRs now. Using movies to create dreams may no longer keep up with the times..."
Chi Feichi had seen the development of movies in his previous life. Even watching dramas on TV, computers, and mobile phones did not let movie theaters step into a dead end. If it were him...
"Can go in two steps."
"Eh?"
The others looked at Chi Feichi together.
Ayumi was planning to refute Akio Muramatsu's words, hearing this she also blinked curiously, holding back her words first.
"First step, identify the selling point, specialization."
Chi Feichi's voice was still as calm as usual, "It doesn't matter if you can't get the current popular new movies. Take 'reviewing classics' as the characteristics of the movie theater. Boss Muramatsu has been in contact with movies for so many years, presumably has a not low level of appreciation. Pick out all the classic old movies, classify them by category, for example, this week is the classic horror movie screening week, next week is the classic comedy movie screening week, arrange the film schedule for a week... If Boss Muramatsu cannot reach the appreciation level to pick out classics, then hire someone, reputation is very important."
The movies Conan watched when he was a child can still be played now. Can't get the screening rights for new movies, is it not okay to just play classic old movies?
Akio Muramatsu was stunned in place listening. Thinking about it this way... it is indeed feasible, just why didn't he think of it before?
"Second step, create and consolidate advantages," Chi Feichi continued, "Do publicity, let people know there is a featured movie theater here, know what kind of movies are being screened this week, let more people pay attention to this movie theater. If no money, accumulate reputation slowly. In addition, the advantage of movies lies in the viewing experience composed of pictures, sounds, and atmosphere, which TV sets and VCRs cannot compare with. If funds are sufficient, can strengthen these aspects."
"So, so amazing..." Mitsuhiko listened with straight eyes.
Ayumi nodded, "I also think the atmosphere of watching movies is different from watching TV!"
Genta said excitedly, "If I know there are classic Gomera movies here for a week, I will definitely come to see!"
Ai Haibara thought, "Only Gomera is too monotonous, can add old movies like Kamen Yaiba, form a viewing theme week suitable for children."
Conan nodded. If there is a theme week reviewing classic detective old movies, plus knowing that the film schedule here is indeed all classics, he would also not help but come over to see.
If encounter ones haven't seen, no matter what, just one word—brush (watch repeatedly)!
Must brush over all those haven't seen!
If encounter ones seen a long time ago, but feel very classic, it's not impossible to watch again.
Chi Feichithis guy's business mind is too good. The ideas thought out in a short time are enough to let a movie theater about to close down resume business, and there is even a possibility of being booming.
"Boss!" Yuri Yuriko looked at Akio Muramatsu expectantly.
Akio Muramatsu hesitated, "This proposal is really... really too valuable, we..."
"If investment is needed, contact me tomorrow." Chi Feichi took out a notebook, left his name and phone number, tore off the page and handed it over, "Before 1 pm."
Akio Muramatsu breathed a sigh of relief. If Chi Feichi is the investor of the movie theater, it is Chi Feichi giving ideas for his own movie theater, and he doesn't need to feel indebted. Took the paper page, "I will contact you tomorrow."
"Although I can no longer stand in front of that window and look outside, but in the future the scenery outside that window will become livelier day by day, right," Minoru Furuhashi lamented, and said to Conan again, "Little brother wearing glasses... since you know how to operate the projector, please help with the screening. After starting the screening, you can go to the projection hall to watch with your companions. Just come here to turn off the machine after the screening ends. During the period, Yuriko can help watch over. Count it as my apology for spoiling your fun. Please continue to finish watching today's movie."
"Yeah!" Conan nodded and agreed. He has already seen it many times, actually it doesn't matter if he doesn't watch...
When the police withdrew and left, Ai Haibara came to Conan's side, "Accept commission?"
"Huh?" Conan was a bit confused.
Ai Haibara said, "Help me get Chi Feichi's phone, this is my commission."
"What do you want his phone for?" Conan puzzled.
"He took pictures of me before," Ai Haibara said, "The Organization knows my appearance when I was a child. If let those guys see my pictures, you should know what the consequences will be."
"You can directly tell him to delete the photos, right?" Conan asked.
When Ai Haibara thought of the[I am super fierce]photo, her face instantly turned black, "He won't delete."
"Should not be, if the person himself requests, no matter what..." Conan paused, suddenly couldn't help but burst into laughter, schadenfreude said, "I say Haibara, you wouldn't have also been taken some strange things by that guy, right?"
Ai Haibara sized up Conan, "Also? Strange things?"
"Cough..." Conan's eyes drifted a bit. He only told Ai Haibara and Dr. Agasa before that Chi Feichi was recording his video, didn't say what was recorded was the video of him pretending to be a child messing around, and also singing, "Alright, I accept the commission. Anyway, I also want to confirm if he still keeps my recording."
