# Chapter 228: He is the Female Lead's Father
The Next Day, Teitan High School Garden Party.
Before Chi Feichei left, he made a Phone Call to Doctor Agasa's House. Doctor Agasa Indeed said that Haibara Ai had a Cold and needed to Rest.
It seems the Temporary Antidote was completed after all. Haibara Ai would Disguise herself as Conan, allowing Conan to temporarily recover his Kudo Shinichi appearance and show up, dispelling Mouri Ran's Suspicion of Conan...
At the Open-air Venue, large groups of Young People entered and exited, chatting and laughing, their noise carrying far away.
Chi Feichei found the Parking Lot, parked his Car, and walked into the Venue.
Mori Kogoro saw Chi Feichei, whose Aura was out of place among the Young People, with a Glance. He Reached Out to Greet him, "Over here!"
After Chi Feichei Saw him, he walked over.
"You... Hello!" A High School Girl Lowered her Head and blocked Chi Feichei's path. She Handed Over To him a Bento Box and said shyly, "Doctor Shinchide said you would Come Over, so I prepared Rice Balls... for you!"
Chi Feichei had just taken firm hold of the Bento Box when he raised his eyes, and the person had Already Run Away.
-.-
Forget Thank You, he couldn't even see her Appearance clearly...
Aside.
"Um, Doctor Shinchide said you would Come Over, I..."
Chi Feichei: "..."
Shinde Tomoaki, that overly kind person...
"Sonoko said you would Come Over, and you're Indeed here! This is for you!"
Chi Feichei: "..."
Sonoko's Mouth can't be kept quiet either...
Mori Kogoro watched Chi Feichei walk over, having collected Snacks, Rice Balls, and Beverages, along with two Small Gifts. The corner of his mouth twitched slightly, "What's with Young Girls these days? They Actually like this Kid's Personality..."
Beside him, Haibara Ai, wearing a Wig, Glasses, and Mask, Disguised as Conan, raised her eyes to watch the excitement. Conan's Voice came from under the Mask and Voice Changer, "I don't Think it's Weird at all."
Her Brother Hichiji is handsome and cool, clearly Young, yet he seems very steady. Is it Weird for him to be popular?
Not Weird at all!
Mori Kogoro snorted, going straight to the Core, "If he had a Girl Beside him, not so many people would Step Forward."
Haibara Ai: "..."
Saying So Seemingly makes sense too...
Chi Feichei, walking over, also heard this Sentence. With a Calm expression, he Said, "Teacher Mouri is right."
Mori Kogoro: "..."
Go away, he didn't want this kind of agreement tinged with Coldness!
The Stage Play began in an Enclosure. The queue of people entering at the Entrance stretched far away.
The three of them Contacted an Acquaintance and went to the Backstage through the Side Gate.
"Mr. Mouri, Hissashi, Conan, I've Come Over to pick you up," Shinde Tomoaki Saw the Things Chi Feichei was holding, his eyes curved in a smile, "Very popular!"
Chi Feichei Lowered his Head and took a Glance at the pile of Things he was holding. The Class and Name were written on the Things like the Bento Boxes that needed to be returned. "It will be Troublesome for you when returning them."
"If you're returning the Things, it would show more Sincerity to go Oneself, right?" Shinde Tomoaki Saw Chi Feichei looking at him coolly, felt Speechless for A Bit, then Turned Around to lead the way. "Okay, I'll help you return them then... Let's go over first, Ran Seemingly has a bit of Tension!"
Chi Feichei followed in Silence.
If Shinde Tomoaki and Suzuki Sonoko hadn't said In Advance at School that he would Come Over, there wouldn't be so many Things.
Him and High School Student Girls?
Previously, he might Consider it, But Afterwards, After entering the Organization, Never Mind.
At Present, he'd best not have a Romance, lest the Organization Seize his Weakness. Moreover, how many High School Student Girls could accept their Boyfriend committing Murder?
It would be good enough if he didn't scare the Girls to tears...
Shinde Tomoaki was Walking, chatted a bit with Mori Kogoro, and Again Turned his Head to Ask Chi Feichei, "I Say... you don't like that big Celebrity Chris, do you?"
"How do you Say?" Chi Feichei asked back Calmly.
If Radar Ai didn't sense anything, this is the real Shinde Tomoaki.
Belmode... her Charm is certainly attractive, But her Intentions are Complex and hard to Guess. He didn't dare to provoke her and only Hoped Belmode wouldn't Tease him.
Are there other Relationships? Probably not.
He Suddenly Thought that After being Pulled Into the Organization, he could Consider being a Single Dog for a Lifetime, just like Amuro Toru...
"She came to the Hospital to see a doctor, and one day Suddenly chatted about you. She said she had met you at a Memorial Service," Shinde Tomoaki smiled gently. "From what I know, not many Female say you are considerate and have Grace. More say you are cooler. So I wanted to Ask you, Actually, the big Star is not bad either. If you want to Seize the Opportunity, how about finding me at Niide Hospital another day? She has a Reservation in three days!"
Haibara Ai also looked up to Look at Chi Feichei. Speaking of which, Chi Feichei was quite close to that big Star that day. "She's beautiful, has good Temperament, and a good figure. She's quite good."
Chi Feichei rubbed the Black Wig on top of Haibara Ai's Head. Afterwards, when she makes the Discovery that Chris is Belmode, Don't Know if Ai will Still Think this way?
"Gossip is bad, Don't get infected by Sonoko."
Shinde Tomoaki: "..."
Haibara Ai: "..."
After Greeting Mouri Ran and Suzuki Sonoko Backstage, the Time was also approaching the Opening.
Seeing that the male and female leads were busy, the three of them didn't stay long and went to the Audience Seats.
Chi Feichei Opened the Bento Box, pretending he Didn't Know Conan and Haibara Ai had swapped. "Conan, are you eating?"
"No Need." Haibara Ai refused.
"Are you Really planning to feed this Kid until he becomes a Fat Kid?" Mori Kogoro, separated by Kazuha Toyama and Haibara Ai, Teased from afar. Staying away from the Cold Air was Indeed much more comfortable.
"Pfft!" Kazuha Toyama was amused and laughed. "Uncle, you're Really amusing!"
Haibara Ai was Silent for A Bit. No, if Chi Feichei kept feeding him like that, it was Indeed Possible for Conan to become a Fat Conan. "Could it be that you're looking for a Girl who can Cook better than you? That might be A Bit difficult."
"Conan, you today..." Chi Feichei Turned his Head to Look. "Very Weird. Your speaking Tone is the Same as Ai's."
It wasn't that he wanted to expose it, it was too obvious. If he didn't Say anything, it would be suspicious.
It's not just the Tone, Conan wouldn't even pay attention to these Problems, Okay?
Haibara Ai felt Speechless, coughed dryly, and Lowered her Head. "Not at all, it's the Possibility of a Cold!"
"Uh-huh." Chi Feichei withdrew his Line of Sight.
Conan's Method of Acting Cute was even forced out...
Haibara Ai: "..."
This wave of Conan's Tone imitation made Ai embarrassed.
The Light in the Venue darkened, and the Stage Play began.
When Mouri Ran appeared, Mori Kogoro switched to excited roaring mode. "Okay! Okay! Performed well, performed well!"
The people in the Surrounding Area were startled, their Gaze strange.
Mori Kogoro Scratched his Head Smilingly, continuously Turning his Head to the people around him, "I'm telling you, she's my Daughter! She's my Daughter!"
The people around couldn't help but laugh. Kazuha Toyama, sitting Beside Mori Kogoro, muttered, "Request, this is so embarrassing..."
"He is the female lead's Father." Chi Feichei Said a Sentence.
Embarrassing?
Not embarrassing, it even makes people a little... envious.
In his two lifetimes, he and the Original Consciousness had both performed on the School Stage in their Childhood, But never had anyone Off Stage Lose Face for him like this.
"I know, he's Ran's Father..." Kazuha Toyama Heard Chi Feichei's Words. She had just Said half a Sentence in Doubt when she paused, then Understood that the Key Point of this Sentence was 'Father'.
That kind of Mood, 'My Daughter is the best', 'I want the whole World to know that Princess On Stage is my Daughter', she Probably Guessed.
Haibara Ai looked up to Look at Chi Feichei, making the Discovery that Chi Feichei's Expression and Gaze were Still Calm, so Calm there were no ripples. "Hey, I Say..."
"I didn't think much." Chi Feichei replied a Sentence.
Everyone's Personality is Different. The Method Parents use for their Children is also impossible to be exactly the Same. He had Nothing to Complaint about.
"Then it Should be like this," Kazuha Toyama Turned her Head with a firm expression, and Smilingly Said loudly to Mori Kogoro, "Ran performed Really super good!"
"Right? Right?" Mori Kogoro's eyes were Smilingly Curved.
Kazuha Toyama Nodded confidently. "Of Course!"
Chi Feichei continued Looking at the Stage Play. Again, another careful and smart Girl...
Giving Recognition to his Daughter at this Time could Indeed make the Father Happier.
When the Performance reached the point where the Princess Carriage was intercepted and the Princess played by Mouri Ran was pulled off the Carriage, Kazuha Toyama Again shouted, "Defeat him! Ran, Fast use your Karate and kill all those Bastards!"
Haibara Ai felt Speechless. She couldn't help but Turn her Head to Look at Chi Feichei. "This time is Because... she's the female lead's Friend?"
"No, Kazuha is too immersed in the play." Chi Feichei Said.
Haibara Ai thought for a moment. It really is... it makes sense, quite insightful.
On the Stage, a Beam of Light shone down, and Black Feathers fluttered down.
"This Is..."
"Raven Feather?!"
The Black Knight descended from the sky, chasing away the Bad Person.
"So cool!" Kazuha Toyama continued to be excited.
On the Stage, the Knight (Game Class) didn't play by the rules and Directly hugged the Princess. Seeing this, Mori Kogoro's Face turned green.
In the empty seat Beside Chi Feichei, a Man with a Baseball Cap pulled low and Bangs covering his Eyes walked over and sat down.
Haibara Ai Turned her Head in Doubt, Looking at The Other Party's smile with upturned corners of the mouth and that face shape... How did it Feel A Bit like a certain Kudo?
Chi Feichei glanced sideways. "Hattori, what are you up to?"
The smile on the person who came's Mouth froze for a moment. He Opened his Mouth, and it was the Osaka Dialect. "Idiot, you're mistaken!"
"Heh..." Chi Feichei withdrew his Line of Sight and Said Nothing More.
It wasn't just the accent Problem when speaking. Hattori Heiji's Actions when walking and sitting down, which hadn't been deliberately Trained, he had Seen them all. Still Can't recognize him?
Haibara Ai Stared at Hattori Heiji with Half-Moon Eyes. She also wanted to Ask, what was this Fellow up to...
Beside him, Hattori Heiji felt Speechless. Sitting down Beside Chi Feichei Seemingly was a Mistake Decided.
His Disguise was so perfect, how was it Seen Through in less than three seconds of appearing?
Moreover, Chi Feichei Saw Through it, fine, But he sneered, Turned back, and acted like 'If I Say it's you, it's you, I won't listen to your arguments, and I'm too lazy to argue with you'. Didn't that make people feel very Depressed, Okay?
He Suddenly wanted to Ask exactly where he was Seen Through, But Again Thought he couldn't just casually admit it... Torment!
On the Stage, just as the Black Knight was about to kiss the Princess, Mori Kogoro Again Lost Control. "That's too reckless! Stop, Ran!"
Kazuha Toyama held tightly onto Mori Kogoro, Smilingly Looking at the Stage.
Chi Feichei counted silently in his Heart: 3, 2, 1...
"Ah—!"
The Scream Interrupted the Stage Play Performance.
A Man fell to the Ground, Scared the people around him, who all moved away.
Over twenty minutes Afterwards, Inspector Megure led a team and arrived.
"The Deceased is Kohei Kamata, 27 years old, a Doctor at Beika General Hospital..." Inspector Megure was Looking at the Record, Saying.
"Yes." The Woman Beside him responded.
Inspector Megure Again Asked, "He fell down when he was See-ing half of the play?"
"Correct," the Woman Said. "He Suddenly revealed a painful Expression..."
"Could it be that the Victim drank the Beverage cup that dropped Beside him, and that's why he fell to the ground and suffered Death?" Wataru Takagi squatted on the Ground, wearing Gloves, and picked up the empty beverage cup from the Ground.
"This..." The Woman recalled. "I've been Looking at the Performance the whole Time, I'm not very clear either."
Inspector Megure leaned over and Looked A Bit at the beverage cup. "There's almost not much Beverage left inside. By the Way, when you made the Discovery that Mr. Kamata fell down, what Time was it Probably?"
The Woman raised her Wrist and Looked at her watch. "The Play began performing around 2 o'clock..."
Beside them, Mouri Ran, Still wearing her Princess Costume, Stepped Forward and Said, "He Should have fallen down around 2:40."
"Ran?" Inspector Megure was surprised by the Accident. A type of Premonition Suddenly rose in his Heart.
Could it be...
