At the dining table, Mamiya Mitsuru couldn't help but snicker at the thought of leaving easily.
The three children, Genta, Ayumi, and Mitsuhiko, ate breakfast silently, and looked weakly at Mamiya Mitsuru who was snickering, feeling that the jam bread on their plates was not delicious anymore.
This uncle's behavior is really scary...
"He's crazy," Feichi couldn't help complaining in Chi Feichi's sleeve. "Suddenly laughing startled me..."
Chi Feichi was calm all the way.
Is it strange to laugh suddenly while eating?
While eating, he had seen someone divide the bread into halves and point at the bread to talk about the future trend of the world economy. He had seen someone pick out all the rice from the sushi, arranging it grain by grain on the table, making a pious prayer gesture, saying it was spiritualism. He had also seen someone say that he could turn back time, experimenting with the food in his hand, and bluffing the people beside him into a daze...
What's more, Fukuyama Zhiming once sat with him during lunch and asked him if he heard the kelp in the soup talking.
At that time, a patient sitting next to them came over and answered, "Cooked kelp can't talk." He immediately saw Fukuyama Zhiming staring at that person thoughtfully.
Light a candle for that little partner.
The correct answer is - 'No'.
Just these simple two words, saying more is wrong.
As for Mamiya Mitsuru suddenly snickering, this matter is not a big deal at all... Letting the uncle not fall into Fukuyama Zhiming's hands is his last gentleness.
Chi Feichi finished his food and got up. "I'm full. Everyone, please take your time."
"Ah, okay." Mamiya Mitsuru tried hard to put away his smiling face, with strange expectation in his eyes.
Chi Feichi shook his head, didn't say much, went to the yard and called Kuroba Kaito.
The phone rang for a long time before it was answered. Kuroba Kaito's confused voice came over. "What's wrong? Today is the weekend. I have a new goal. I checked information until very late yesterday before going to bed..."
"The treasure in the castle was found yesterday..." Chi Feichi briefly talked about what happened, and didn't omit anything that should be told to Kuroba Kaito.
For example, what the treasure was, that it was found by a brat named Conan, that the old lady was actually a maid who underwent plastic surgery, and Mamiya Mitsuru's abnormality...
"I think you are responsible for Mr. Mamiya Mitsuru's problem."
Kuroba Kaito was still sighing in his heart about the wonderful bizarreness of the whole incident. Hearing this, he jumped up directly. "What does it have to do with me? I have left there for several days already. If he has problems, you can't blame me, right?"
"When you were there, he smiled on his face, but he must have cursed you a hundred times a day in his heart. This has a great impact on the spirit," Chi Feichi helped Kuroba Kaito take the blame, and didn't forget to straighten it. "Simply put, it was held back for a long time and broke down. But his problem is not big. Just relax for a while."
"That's good," Kuroba Kaito was a little guilty. In fact, he felt that Uncle Mamiya was still very nice. "By the way, be careful of that brat named Conan. Last time, he suspected that we knew each other from the connection between 'Red Herring' and 'Scarecrow'. Now he went to the Mamiya house..."
"It's okay. The Mamiya family didn't mention you, at least no one mentioned it when I was there." Chi Feichi said.
He had originally analyzed the possibility of Kuroba Kaito being exposed, but no one mentioned Kuroba Kaito at all.
Perhaps attention was diverted by the castle treasure, or perhaps Kuroba Kaito left a few days in advance.
He felt that it was more likely that after meeting the above two conditions, Kuroba Kaito triggered some kind of 'avoidance mechanism'.
After all, Kaito Kid is Aoyama's biological son...
"It's better to let that brat leave as soon as possible, lest he discovers something," Kuroba reminded. "He seems to be investigating you. Be careful yourself, don't let him find out any unspeakable things."
Chi Feichi: "After he heard that I came out of the mental hospital, he didn't seem to have such a big problem with me anymore."
Kuroba Kaito suddenly laughed out loud. "Could it be because your behavior is sneaky and he suspected that you did something bad? Then how sneaky do you have to be to be investigated by him..."
Chi Feichi said calmly, "Kuroba-kun, Feichi misses you."
Kuroba Kaito disapproved. "Let him come!"
Feichi heard Kuroba Kaito and him, got out of Chi Feichi's collar, leaned his body near the mobile phone to eavesdrop, and happened to hear this sentence: "..."
Chi Feichi glanced at Feichi. "The Dinodon rufozonatum is a kind of snake that preys on its own kind. It is recently studying whether preying on venomous snakes can make itself evolve."
"Stupid snake! It's impossible for a snake to evolve by eating its own kind, okay," Kuroba Kaito complained. "And how can a snake have so many thoughts, and even if it has thoughts, how can it tell you? If I really believe your words... Trouble you to go to Aoyama Fourth Hospital and leave a bed for me."
Feichi said faintly, "Master, when you have time, go buy two doses of serum to keep for Kuroba Kaito..."
On the other side of the phone, Kuroba Kaito suddenly sneezed. "Did I catch a cold... Alright, let's not talk about those. Are you going back to the hospital now? Do you want me to let Jii go get you out?"
"I must go back once. My father is not here. As the entrusted guardian, Mr. Mamiya Mitsuru feels that he cannot fulfill his guardianship obligations, and will definitely send me back to tell the doctor first," Chi Feichi explained. "And for Mr. Jii to act as the entrusted guardian to take care of me, he also needs my father's consent. I will first ask my father if he has a suitable candidate."
"Okay. But you'd better be able to spare two days of free time and agree to the invitation of Miss Suzuki," Kuroba Kaito smiled. "I invite you to watch a magic show performed by Phantom Thief Kid!"
"Understood."
"Are you not curious what the magic performance is?"
"I'll know when the time comes. Hanging up first."
"Hey hey..."
Chi Feichi hung up the phone and called his cheap father again.
"Father, Mr. Mamiya has something to do and can no longer be my entrusted guardian."
"You don't want to go back to the hospital?"
"Yes."
"I understand. I will help you contact someone."
"I'm going out for two days. Trouble you to hide it from Dr. Fukuyama for me."
"How many days?"
"Three days. Also, trouble you to help me order a batch of bamboo rats from China. The number is optional."
"Understood."
The phone was hung up.
Such simple and direct communication saves trouble.
When Chi Shinnosuke called Mamiya Mitsuru, Chi Feichi also received a call from Suzuki Sonoko.
Suzuki Sonoko invited him to visit the Suzuki Museum of Art opening in Osaka the day after tomorrow, and mentioned that Phantom Thief Kid had targeted the 'Easter Egg' and sent an invitation letter.
Hanging up the phone, Chi Feichi opened a webpage.
The bounty list is generally provided by various countries, recording wanted criminals.
In addition, in the deep web, there is a web page similar to a mission hall, and the login account is the professional number given by various countries.
Compared to the bounty list, this web page called 'Bounty Hall' is much more interesting.
There are speculators publishing crime bounties, official personnel from various countries lurking inside to enforce the law and fish for information, even those entrusting delivery of things, and even a cat-finding notice with a high bounty.
The whole webpage forum is not that black if said to be black, and not that white if said to be white. Demons dance wildly, very lively.
Chi Feichi clicked into the accumulated bounty pool and searched for the code name of 'Scorpion'.
Since most bounty tasks are shady and the difficulty of the task cannot be evaluated, bounty hunters have no ranking list. Like detectives, it depends on fame.
During the time he dove into the forum, he also learned about some influential figures, and Scorpion was one of them.
Scorpion is also a bounty hunter, age unknown, appearance unknown, gender unknown, very mysterious.
Most of the bounties accepted are assassinations, and occasionally the reward requested is only Romanov Dynasty cultural relics or treasures.
A bounty hunter with a strong purpose, also decisive and ruthless.
Chi Feichi felt that a sentence could describe it—
No one knows my identity, because anyone who knows my identity is already dead!
Bounty hunters themselves also have bounties, and they don't talk about 'similar species cannot kill each other'. If they fall into the hands of peers, they must be prepared to be exchanged for money.
In the bounty pool:
Find out Scorpion's identity, provide appearance and location, three million US dollars.
Capture Scorpion and send to the police station, official bounty plus private accumulated bounty, a total of more than nine million US dollars.
In addition, there is also a private bounty for catching Scorpion and handing over to the other party, bidding 30 million US dollars, supporting the exchange of goods of equal value...
Chi Feichi was silent.
He caught Numabuchi Kiichiro and did a crime investigation some time ago, generally only got 100,000 US dollars.
And being able to catch Numabuchi Kiichiro, in fact, is also inseparable from the understanding of the plot.
Such a valuable young lady, Conan actually just called the police and let the police arrest her, not getting a penny...
What a waste!
Wastrel! Absolute wastrel!
Feichi glanced aside, eyes straight, even stopped flicking his snake tongue. "So many zeros! Master, are we going to catch this person?"
"No rush." Chi Feichi searched for 'Phantom Thief Kid' again.
In the bounty pool:
Provide identity information, 60,000 US dollars.
Capture and hand over to the police, 310,000 US dollars.
By taking advantage of the limelight of stealing the Easter Egg this time, Kuroba Kaito's price has increased again, by 5,000 US dollars.
After all, Phantom Thief Kid didn't offend many people. These bounties are accumulated by various countries' departments targeting crime.
The officials generally don't offer too high bounties. High bounties are secretly contacted with bounty hunters in private.
The bounty pool amount is high, generally accumulated by private bounties one by one after offending people.
In addition, Phantom Thief Kid has quite a lot of private bounty missions.
Something like investigating Phantom Thief Kid's identity and only telling the employer alone, something like dating Phantom Thief Kid for a day, something like catching Phantom Thief Kid and handing over to me... The bounties range from 100,000 to 1 million US dollars. It looks like fans or bored big shots. There is no hatred value bonus, and it can't compare with Scorpion at all.
For example, Suzuki Jirokichi is bored, but the old man doesn't offer a reward and hopes to challenge it himself. He belongs to the nasty guy who is like 'I have food to eat, I won't grab your rice bowl, I'm just full and bored, and want you to not have this meal'!
Cough... To a certain extent, he belongs to the nastier guy who is like 'I have food to eat, but I am bored, still want to grab your rice bowl, not only want to grab the rice bowl, but also want to climb to a high place and suppress you to play'.
