"That's right, what Ai said at the time was a bit vague, so I pondered it..." Feichi paused before continuing, "She knows about Conan being Kudo Shinichi who shrank!"
Chi Feichi nodded.
Feichi: "It looks like they are in cahoots! Hmm... just like Master and I, trusting each other!"
Chi Feichi nodded.
Feichi instantly felt somewhat defeated. "Master, can you give me a surprised reaction? I figured out their relationship after much effort..."
"But I already knew," Chi Feichi said.
Feichi: "..."
Another 'already knew'?
"Actually, I should have told you guys a while ago, but I was busy and forgot." Chi Feichi freed his right hand, pulled out the ring pendant on his necklace, and switched it on. "Feimo?"
A burst of chaotic chatter and crow cawing came from the other end immediately, followed by Feimo's voice. "Master, wait a moment."
The noise lessened, presumably because Feimo moved away from the source.
Chi Feichi waited a while before asking, "What are you doing?"
"I was watching a movie on the computer just now. An old movie from a few years ago. It looked familiar, like I had seen the filming set, so I opened it to watch!" Feimo exclaimed. "My cute subordinates wanted to watch too, so they crowded together just now. It got a bit noisy."
Chi Feichi: "..."
He kept the laptop and phone bought for Feichi, but Feimo took his own.
He didn't expect Feimo, this crow, to live so fashionably...
"By the way, Master, what do you need me for?" Feimo asked.
"Come to the villa. I have something to say." Chi Feichi said.
"Okay," Feimo paused. "I can probably arrive in twenty minutes."
"Is your nest in Haido Town?" Chi Feichi was a bit curious; he still didn't know where Feimo's lair was.
"Master, don't ask yet, and don't ask how many subordinates I have now," Feimo lowered his voice. "Give me a little more time, and I'll give you a surprise!"
"Alright, we'll talk then." Chi Feichi didn't press further.
All day long, each one of them is acting mysteriously.
However, for Feimo, a crow who had lived for so many years, to call it a 'big surprise', it probably wasn't simple. He would look forward to it.
Twenty minutes later, both sides returned to the villa one after another.
Chi Feichi checked the room first, confirming no one had entered during his absence and nothing extra was there. Then he picked up Feimo to check.
Feimo looked the same, his feathers black with a blue sheen. It seemed he hadn't been injured in fights recently.
Thinking about it, Feimo's combat power wasn't weak, and he wouldn't charge in mindlessly. most of the time he was commanding, so he wouldn't get injured easily.
Feimo found a plastic bag from somewhere, put the phone in it, and carried it in his beak. After letting Chi Feichi check, while Chi Feichi went to find something, he went aside to chat with Feichi using the phone.
Chi Feichi dug out a whiteboard from the storage room downstairs, wiped off the dust, and brought it back to the room.
"I recognize this thing. Convenient for demonstration. Wipe it after use, and not a trace of writing remains!" Feimo said, looking down and sending this message to Feichi via chat software.
This was also Chi Feichi's purpose in equipping the two pets with phones: enhancing communication, learning from each other, and, um... he didn't have to be a messenger, which was the key point.
Chi Feichi set up the whiteboard and turned to look. The two pets' gazes had already shifted from the phone screens. He wrote four names directly: "Conan, Ai, Gin, Vodka."
Feichi instantly perked up, and Feimo watched curiously.
"You both know Conan and Ai. Gin is the silver-haired man we met that night, and Vodka is the sunglasses-wearing man following him. The two of them come from the same organization." Chi Feichi began to explain.
Feimo pondered for a moment. "They can buy so many explosives and use them so casually. That organization is definitely not simple."
"That organization is indeed not simple," Chi Feichi drew a large circle on the whiteboard, encompassing not only the names of Gin, Vodka, and Ai but also leaving a large empty space. "Previously, Ai was also a member of their organization, responsible for drug research, codenamed Sherry. Ai developed a drug still in the experimental stage named APTX-4869. As a member of the organization, Gin has this drug..."
Feichi and Feimo listened quietly, feeling like they were about to learn some incredible secret.
Chi Feichi explained how Conan shrank, how Haibara Ai shrank, and inevitably mentioned Miyano Akemi and Akai Shuichi, casually bringing up the FBI and other members of the organization.
Mentioning the FBI and the organization, it was inevitable to mention the Japanese Public Security Police.
Mentioning these, MI6 couldn't be left out...
It was good for Feichi and Feimo to know these things.
Chi Feichi introduced the situation as concisely as possible, but when sorting out the relationships of Akai Shuichi's family, he couldn't hold back and put down the pen. "Anyway, that's roughly how it is."
Feichi and Feimo started with 'Shocking! So Ai also shrank', 'Shocking! So such an organization exists', 'Shocking! So the people in this organization are like this', 'Sho...'
By the end, they were somewhat numb.
"We might encounter these people in the future, or maybe not," Chi Feichi talked for a long time and got tired, starting to wipe the whiteboard. "If we encounter them, we'll discuss the details depending on the situation."
Feichi and Feimo exchanged glances.
Speaking of which, how did Master investigate other people's family relationships so clearly?
Also, according to Master, that organization acts cautiously and mysteriously, silencing anyone exposed. Why does Master know so many members, even knowing if they are undercover and which force sent them?
While Chi Feichi wiped the whiteboard, the snake and the crow communicated secretly using their phones.
Finally, Feimo raised the question, "Um... Master, were you once in that organization?"
"No. And don't ask me why I know these things; I can't explain clearly," Chi Feichi wiped the whiteboard. "When you chat about these things on your phones, best remember to clear the records. Being discovered will cause trouble."
"We know. We didn't use chat software; we used the phone notepad to chat and deleted it right away!" Feimo hurriedly said.
Feichi followed Chi Feichi every day and knew a bit about Conan's situation, knowing that shrinking was Conan's biggest secret. Since Chi Feichi mentioned this secret so lightly, it meant other matters were also big secrets.
Both pets were very cautious. They continued to communicate for a while, cleared all traces, and even asked Chi Feichi how to prevent someone from restoring files and similar issues.
After Feimo left, Feichi stared at the phone screen without making a sound for a long time.
Chi Feichi returned from washing up and found Feichi still in this state, motionless like a statue. He asked, "Didn't chat enough just now?"
"No," Feichi suddenly slumped down, saying dejectedly, "I just regret hearing so much. Discovering secrets gives a sense of accomplishment and is also a kind of fun. I suddenly feel like a lot of fun has been stripped away. Thinking about it makes me sad..."
Chi Feichi felt speechless. Turning off the light and getting into bed, he thought for a moment and suggested, "Go play games. You won't be sad if you play games."
Feichi instantly perked up. "Can I play computer games?"
Chi Feichi: "...Yes, keep the volume down."
He suddenly discovered that being a pet is quite blissful.
