Chapter 33: After All, You're a Professional
"In any case, keep an eye out tomorrow," Chi Feichi said.
As long as Conan realizes that 'Scorpio is among those people,' the great detective will keep a close eye on that group.
It would be best to discover Scorpio as soon as possible, so he wouldn't have to expose him. If they couldn't find Scorpio, it wouldn't matter; he would just consider it laying the groundwork.
Hattori Heiji said regretfully, "It's a pity I'm injured and can't go with you to take a look."
"You should just focus on recovering," Conan then looked at Chi Feichi again, "As for Kaito Kid's Pigeon, I'll have to trouble Mr. Chi to take care of it, after all, you're a professional..."
Hattori Heiji's expression became strange for a moment. This 'professional' made him feel a little complicated.
The three of them squatted or sat, chatting about the case and then some idle talk on the road, before the ambulance finally arrived late and carried Hattori Heiji up.
Conan also decided to go to the Hospital to take a look.
After the two left, Chi Feichi put the Pigeon in his chest pocket, took out the Mobile Phone from his pocket, stopped recording, and while walking towards the Hotel, sent the Recording file out via Email.
After Chi Feichi returned to the Hotel, he received an Email reply:
[I was still guessing if you would think I was dead, but I didn't expect you to completely deduce it, but what do you mean by 'borrow your Identity'? Don't mess around, if you get caught pretending to be Kaito Kid, you'll be in big trouble, what exactly are you going to do?]
Soon, Kuroba Kaito sent another Email: [Forget it, don't tell me, this time it's my turn to guess!]
Chi Feichi really didn't say anything, replying: [Your Pigeon is with me, and Hissashi was quite worried about you before]
Kuroba Kaito: [Extra meal! I know where they sell Frog, minimum order of ten pounds]
Hissashi poked his head out and immediately made a strange happy sound, "Ga ga ga ga ga... It wasn't for nothing that I worried about him!"
Chi Feichi glanced sideways at Hissashi, then replied to Haibara Ai's Text Message first, chatted a few words, and waited until Hissashi ran to sleep on the Sofa before using his Mobile Phone to open Todai University's Veterinary Medicine Forum.

The next day.
In order to investigate whether the Egg was damaged, the Suzuki Foundation stopped the exhibition and used a boat to transport the Egg back to Tokyo.
During the voyage, Natsumi Kousaka appeared and took out the Diagram of the Egg.
Conan discovered that the Diagram's gap couldn't be pieced together, deducing that there were actually two Eggs, and from the small Glass of the Egg, he discovered a projection of Yokosuka Castle.
Immediately, a group of people decided to go to Yokosuka Castle after returning to Tokyo.
Conan had been secretly observing everyone's reactions, he hadn't forgotten that there was a dangerous person mixed in.
Chi Feichi remained silent, quietly sitting on the Sofa and listening.
When the group went back to their Rooms to rest, Conan used the excuse of wanting to see the Pigeon that was injured last night and followed Chi Feichi back to his Room, whispering, "Elder Brother Chi, everyone seems to be interested in the Egg in the Castle, but I still haven't found out who Scorpio is, what about you? Do you have any Clues?"
"I haven't found anything either," Chi Feichi said in a calm voice, "Let's find another Opportunity to observe."
"Yeah." Conan nodded solemnly, and said to Chi Feichi, "By the way, Hattori is fine. He went to the Hospital for an examination last night, and the Bone in his Ankle was indeed fine. Your Reduction Method was really useful!"
The Room door was suddenly knocked, and Mouri Ran's voice came, "Mr. Chi, excuse me, is Conan with you?"
Ran?
Conan was a little surprised, jumped off the Sofa to open the door, "Ran, why are you here?"
"I also wanted to come and see the Pigeon, Mr. Chi, is it convenient?" Mouri Ran asked, poking her head in.
"Of course."
Mouri Ran came, and after a while, Suzuki Sonoko and Natsumi Kousaka also came to find Mouri Ran, and by the way, suggested calling Seiran Urashima.
The four girls had a Tea Party, and Chi Feichi played with his Mobile Phone on the side, sending the Reasoning about the Egg that Conan had just made, and what Conan had said to him, all in the form of Recording files, quietly via Email.
"Xia Mei-san's Eyes are gray!" Suzuki Sonoko said.
"Yes," Natsumi Kousaka smiled, "It should be inherited from my great-grandmother, my Grandmother and mother's Eyes are also gray."
"Mr. Chi's Eyes are purple, also inherited from his mother, right? Mr. Chi's mother seems to have a pair of very beautiful purple Eyes, said to be a great beauty, but it's a pity I've never seen her in person," Suzuki Sonoko became addicted to looking at Eyes, and turned to look at Seiran Urashima again, "Qinglan-san's Eyes are the same as Xia Mei-san's, also gray! Are Chinese people's Eyes all gray?"
Mouri Ran smiled, "Speaking of which, Qinglan-san's Name is Qingse Orchid, and my Name also has 'Ran' in it..."
"You are pronouncing it in Japanese, the Chinese Pronunciation should be 'Qing Lan'..."
Seiran Urashima began to show off her broken Chinese.
Apart from 'Ni hao' said at the beginning of their meeting, Seiran Urashima's Chinese was indeed broken.
Chi Feichi couldn't even bear to listen anymore, recorded these dialogues, sent them to Kuroba Kaito, and feeling it was too troublesome, sent an Email to Kuroba Kaito: Recording is too troublesome, I'll cooperate with you to start remote access, you can eavesdrop yourself.
Kuroba Kaito, who had already returned to Tokyo first: "..."
Conan noticed that Chi Feichi had been looking down at his Mobile Phone, and asked suspiciously, leaning closer, "Elder Brother Chi, have you seen or heard of Chinese people with gray Eyes?"
Chi Feichi agreed to remote control and put his Mobile Phone back in his pocket, "Ah, no."
Huh?
Conan was a little surprised, observed Chi Feichi for a moment, suppressed the suspicion in his heart, and continued to whisper to Chi Feichi, "Qinglan-san's eye color is the same as Xia Mei-san's, if Chinese people's Eyes are not gray, then..."
"Qinglan-san concealed her nationality, she is actually Russian," Chi Feichi interjected.
"Then she is very likely to be Scorpio." Conan's expression became serious, and he also lowered his head to take out his Mobile Phone to check Data, "Were you just checking eye color and Chinese pronunciation?"
"Sort of." Chi Feichi replied, and suddenly heard Seiran Urashima translate Suzuki Sonoko's Name into Chinese and say 'Suzuki Meatball', the corner of his mouth twitched slightly.
Hopefully the Great Detective will be reliable...
However, Conan, who was next to him, heard the four girls talk about birthdays, and couldn't help but say, "You two are only one day apart from me!"
Mouri Ran was suddenly stunned, thinking that May 4th was also Kudo Shinichi's Birthday, and her gaze at Conan suddenly became strange.
Chi Feichi: "..."
On the topic of, what is it like to bring a Great Detective who occasionally gets carried away?
...
Even though Conan began to suspect Seiran Urashima, he couldn't find more flaws, and couldn't say Seiran Urashima was Scorpio based on her Eyes.
Despite all precautions, the Case still happened!
Hanakawa Ryu died in his own Room, shot in the Right Eye and killed, the Room was turned upside down.
Different from the original Plot, this time Conan suspected Seiran Urashima immediately.
After the Metropolitan Police Department received the Report to Police Phone Call, Inspector Megure directly led a team and took a Helicopter to the Scene.
Kuroba Kaito, Disguise as Ninzaburo Shiratori, followed along. When the Police were searching the Scene, he found a Reason to go to the Washroom, entered the door, pricked up his ears to listen to the movements outside, and then spoke, "Is it that Seiran Urashima?"
"Yeah," Chi Feichi opened the door of the cubicle and walked out, "Her Chinese accent is a bit strange, and there's a Problem with her eye color. Chinese people's eye color should be similar to ours. If you look closely, her hair color is actually a bit grayish too."
Kuroba Kaito nodded, "I searched for voice Data online for comparison, and her Chinese accent is indeed a bit strange."
"Conan should have also discovered it," Chi Feichi said, "But these can't be used as Evidence to expose her."
"I guessed early on that something would happen on the boat, but I didn't expect her to kill someone," Kuroba Kaito also understood the Events and knew that Conan and Chi Feichi really couldn't find a suitable point to expose Seiran Urashima, "So what do we do now?"
"Let's exchange Identities first," Chi Feichi said.
The two completed Disguise and exchanged clothes in the Washroom.
Kuroba Kaito, Disguise as Chi Feichi, said in Chi Feichi's low voice, "You said yesterday to borrow my Identity, you wanted to make others think you were Phantom Thief Kid in Disguise, now Conan already suspects you... no, me, no... anyway, already suspects this point, right?"
Chi Feichi, wearing Ninzaburo Shiratori's face, frankly said, "Yeah, I'm a Bounty Hunter. Since I discovered Scorpio's traces, naturally I have to catch him to exchange for Money."
Kuroba Kaito turned to look at Chi Feichi, speechless, "It's inconvenient for you to let others know you are a Bounty Hunter, so you want to use Kid's Identity to catch him?"
Chi Feichi dealt with the Details of the Disguise, his movements were indeed a bit slower than Kuroba Kaito's, after all, he was still not very skilled, "At worst, I'll share a portion of the Money with you."
"That's not necessary, just treat me to a big meal," Kuroba Kaito accepted the fact that Chi Feichi was a Bounty Hunter quite quickly, but he just couldn't understand, "But you're not short of Money, why do you still want to be a Bounty Hunter?"
"You're not short of Money either, aren't you still a Great Thief?" Chi Feichi said, "I'll go out first, you wait a little longer."
Kuroba Kaito was still puzzled, "Seiran Urashima has been caught by the Police, you won't get the Bounty..."
"So, we have to give her a Opportunity to run," Chi Feichi left a sentence and went out of the Washroom.
Kuroba Kaito, wearing Chi Feichi's face, acted, and the result was predictable, all the way creating Reasoning Opportunities for Conan, making Conan more and more suspicious that 'Chi Feichi is not Chi Feichi', secretly made a Phone Call to Hattori Heiji, and then continued Reasoning.
However, the Great Detective was still reliable, and in the situation of first suspecting Seiran Urashima, he really solved the Case.
Sleeping Kogoro appeared on stage: "...It's because Mr. Hanakawa photographed the Situation of each Room, and photographed something you didn't want to be discovered, that's why you killed him, right? Miss Seiran Urashima... no, Scorpio! I think what he photographed was that Photo you put on the table, that shouldn't be the Photo of your boyfriend you mentioned, but a Photo of your ancestor Rasputin, your Name Seiran Urashima, when rearranged, is also Rasputin!
Perhaps you have already disposed of the clothes and Gloves you wore when you shot Mr. Hanakawa, to avoid leaving Gunshot Residue Reaction on your body, but did you forget your Earrings? I think, as long as you test them, Gunshot Residue Reaction should be detected on your Earrings!"
Seiran Urashima's face changed drastically, she took a step back, touching her Earrings with her left Hand, and seeing that the Police had already surrounded her, she gritted her teeth and reached into her bag to take out a Pistol.
Two pearl-like Round Beads were brought out, and after landing, they burst open, Smoke filled the air.
"Be careful!" Inspector Megure's shout was just uttered.
But it was already too late, the Tear Gas and Sleeping Gas took effect, and a large group of people were immediately knocked down.
