Chapter 43 - Chapter 43: Very Good, Ruthless Enough!

Ai Haibara took out the family spare medical kit, found a thermometer, and let Ayumi take her temperature. As expected, she had a bit of a fever.

Mitsuhiko showed a worried look, "It might be that the air conditioning in the movie theater today was too strong..."

Conan turned to ask Dr. Agasa, "Doctor, are there any cold medicines here?"

Dr. Agasa rummaged through the medical kit and only found gauze, hemostatics, disinfectants, and digestive aids. He was a little annoyed, "It seems that after taking them last time, I forgot to buy them the next day..."

"You guys eat first," Chi Feichi got up and said, "Ayumi wait a while, I'll make pumpkin rice for you, after eating I'll take you home early."

"Hmm!" Ayumi nodded obediently, turned to watch Chi Feichi go cooking, and suddenly sighed.

"What's wrong? Ayumi?" Mitsuhiko was puzzled.

Ayumi had a longing look on her face, "If only Brother Chi was Ayumi's brother..."

Ai Haibara just put the thermometer back into the medical kit and intended to reorganize the medicine that Dr. Agasa had rummaged through. Hearing this, her action of tidying up the medical kit paused.

So she wasn't the only one who thought so?

Many times when she woke up from nightmares, she would think of her sister, and also think of the warmth and comfort that was within reach when she woke up that day, and her heart would gradually calm down.

Her sister was a very gentle person, too gentle, while Chi Feichi didn't show it so obviously, but he could magically blend warmth and peace of mind together.

She never thought of Chi Feichi in the direction of romantic love between men and women, just thought that if Chi Feichi had a sister, that girl must be very happy...

Then she thought, if only it wasn't just her and her sister, if there was someone like Chi Feichi, when someone bullied them, he would definitely stand out...

When she used to see girls protected behind their brothers or younger brothers, she never envied. Her sister was a good-tempered and gentle person, so she should be the one standing in front scolding others. She could also do it.

But since meeting Chi Feichi, she realized that she would also envy.

Also somewhat understood, even if she tried hard to arm herself to stand in front, she could never give that peace of mind. I'm afraid when her sister was with that man, she never thought 'If I feel wronged, I still have family behind me', but 'He can definitely protect my sister', right?

Because in her sister's heart, no matter what, she was a sister who needed to be taken care of.

But envy or sadness, she was not Chi Feichi's sister after all, nor a pure little girl like Ayumi, just a person who would bring danger and trouble to others...

Ayumi felt uncomfortable being stared at by Ai Haibara's complex gaze, and then thinking of Ai Haibara's attitude towards Chi Feichi, she quickly explained, "Student Haibara, I don't want to occupy, nor want to grab brother from you, just... just..."

Ai Haibara didn't react, what occupy? What grab brother?

Ayumi 'just' for a long time and couldn't think of how to explain, got a little anxious, jumped off the chair and pulled Ai Haibara, "Come with me!"

"Wait, wait a minute," Ai Haibara couldn't keep up with Ayumi's thoughts, "What for?"

"To tell Brother Chi that you also want to eat pumpkin rice!" Ayumi pulled Ai Haibara away with a firm face.

A child's idea is very simple. She thought Ai Haibara thought she wanted to grab 'brother', and then Chi Feichi only made pumpkin rice for her, so she was unhappy.

She didn't know how to explain, so let Chi Feichi make pumpkin rice for Ai Haibara too~

Ai Haibara continued to be confused: "..."

How did it get related to pumpkin rice again?

At the table, Genta, Mitsuhiko and Conan also looked at the backs of the two girls in confusion. What happened?

Chi Feichi just pressed the button on the rice cooker when he saw Ayumi pulling Ai Haibara over, "What's wrong?"

Ayumi encouraged in a low voice, "Say it, Student Haibara."

Ai Haibara had black lines all over her head. 'I also want to eat pumpkin rice' such words like a little girl acting coquettishly, how could she say it out loud?

And why did Ayumi think she wanted to eat pumpkin rice?

However... Chi Feichi cooking separately for someone, she really didn't want to be left behind.

Struggled for a moment, looked up, instantly became a calm face: "That pumpkin rice, I want to taste it."

"I made a serving for an adult, should be enough for both of you." Chi Feichi turned and leaned against the cooking bench, took out his phone, unlocked it, went online and checked the bounty list.

There were two newly updated bounties. One was a fleeing robber-murderer who killed the homeowner after burglary in Beika Town yesterday. The police have targeted the suspect and released the frontal photo investigated.

Still at large, bounty 900,000 yen.

He remembered a plot where Ayumi was alone at home after catching a cold and encountered a burglar.

Previously seeing Ayumi catch a cold was just a little suspicious. After seeing this wanted criminal, he could be 90% sure.

Although the person who broke into Ayumi's house was not the wanted robber-murderer, that situation was also quite scary...

After finishing reading the newly released investigation information, Chi Feichi cleared the traces, put away the phone and packed it.

This wanted criminal had little hope of being caught. Committed the crime yesterday, should be arrested elsewhere by tomorrow evening. Now very likely already left Tokyo.

The one who broke into Ayumi's house, don't know if he has a criminal record, but even if he does, it's estimated to be not valuable...

"Brother Chi!" Conan also wandered over at some point. Seeing Chi Feichi's gaze diverted to himself, he pointed to the other side of the living room, "Can I borrow your phone? Dr. Agasa's phone is used by himself to call Ayumi's mother to talk about the situation, my phone is out of power, Genta and the others want to use the landline in the living room, I want to call Uncle Kogoro and Sister Ran to say, later send Ayumi back first, and go home a little later."

The reason is very sufficient.

Chi Feichi took out his phone, turned it off, removed the memory card, then turned it on, unlocked it, handed the phone to Conan, thoughts still wandered a bit: Don't know when can switch to a smartphone...

Conan looked at the phone, then looked at the memory card in Chi Feichi's hand.

Very good, ruthless enough!

Silently took the phone, walked aside to call.

While Chi Feichi turned to look at the pumpkin rice in the rice cooker, Ai Haibara sneaked over. When Conan hung up the phone, she whispered, "Have you confirmed?"

"Wait." Conan opened the phone photo album and video. Sure enough, it was clean, nothing there. No photos or videos were found in the files either. Barely endured curiosity, didn't go through other places.

Ai Haibara didn't have hope originally, nor was she particularly disappointed. Just couldn't figure it out, "Finding an opportunity to get the phone is a bit troublesome, but is it better than asking him for it directly?"

"I'm just trying. If he is not defensive, I can take the opportunity to destroy photos and videos. If he is defensive, I can also confirm his phone password first, so I specially waited for him to put the phone back before going to borrow it. As long as he unlocks it in front of me, based on the movement direction and range of activity of his finger, can infer," Conan locked Chi Feichi's phone, then lit the screen again, "At that time, he held the phone with his right hand alone to unlock it. Only the right thumb could be used. Look at the range of activity and movement trajectory of the finger. The first three digits are in the lower right. The second and third digits repeat, position lower down. The first digit is to the right of the second and third digits. The fourth digit has the largest finger movement range, position upper left. So..."

Saying this, Conan decisively entered 9001, unlocked successfully.

Ai Haibara: "..."

In the future, cannot unlock the phone in front of the detective, even if not seen frontally is the same!

"Actually 9001 and 9881 are both possible, but because 'Chi' English is Pool, 9001 possibility is larger. He is really bored enough," Conan closed the phone again, smiled confidently, "But now maybe don't need the phone password anymore. Since confirmed photos and videos exist in the memory card, we find a way to get the memory card, just put into a phone can delete those things."

"What if the files in the memory card are set with a password?" Ai Haibara asked.

Conan touched his chin to think seriously, "Many people in order to facilitate memory, won't set the password to numbers or letters unrelated to themselves. Can use his phone password to try first. As long as won't set automatic locking or clearing after wrong input, even if there is a password, can try one by one. If really can't, can use decoding means to force unlock the password. Now the most important thing is to get the memory card first..."

Ai Haibara turned to look at the cooking bench, found Chi Feichi just happened to look over. Being watched, inexplicably guilty, immediately dispelled the idea of directly grabbing the memory card, "Then leave it to you."

Conan was a bit surprised, "You don't intend to help? He is defensive against me. If it is you, maybe can take advantage of his inattention to take the memory card..."

"Xiao Ai, help bring the bowl over, pumpkin rice is ready." Over there Chi Feichi called.

"I know." Ai Haibara decisively went to get the bowl.

Conan: "..."

Why feel a desolate sense of fighting alone?

Meal again, everyone was worried about Ayumi's body, mood was not very good, but... still finished eating the food.

Then while digesting, peeked at the pumpkin rice in the bowls of the two girls.

The sweet pumpkin smell, smelled very want to taste...

Fortunately, the speed of the two girls didn't slow down too much, solved the rice in a minute.

Finally, Dr. Agasa and Ai Haibara were responsible for cleaning up. Chi Feichi also had to go back to Beika Town, so he dropped the others back by the way.

On the way, Chi Feichi also received a call from Kaito Kuroba. Heard Kaito Kuroba said went to the snake farm to buy 20 catties of frogs, directly reported the address of the bamboo rat breeding point, let Kaito Kuroba send over.

Kaito Kuroba heard Chi Feichi said was driving, didn't chat much, cleared the matter and hung up the phone.

Conan sat in the back seat, paying attention to Chi Feichi's phone throughout the journey. He wanted to try if he could quietly take it over, but...

Who can tell him why Feichi would probe its head from Chi Feichi's collar and keep staring at him?!

From getting on the car till now more than twenty minutes, didn't blink an eye!

Alright, snakes indeed can't blink, but also don't need to keep looking at him right, quite creepy... Chi Feichi this guy wouldn't have guessed that he still wanted to do something to the phone, deliberately let the pet stare at him?

And in fact, Feichi has been nagging.

"I still can't figure it out, how on earth did he become a child, looking around, no difference from other children..."

"Eh? Why does he keep peeking at me..."

"Master, he peeked at me again, the look is so strange, is he having some bad idea?"

"Here it comes again, here it comes again! Talking with Mitsuhiko still peeking at me! If he does something to me, can I fight back?"

"By the way, master, do you think if I bite him, can it change back to the young snake period?"

Chi Feichi focused on looking at the road driving: "..."
