Chapter 1109: Oh my, you're truly malicious
The woman's left and right wrists were dislocated. While gritting her teeth to prevent herself from groaning in pain, she also inevitably inhaled the anesthetic and lost consciousness.
When the woman struck backwards with her left elbow, Conan had already raised his watch in front of him, aiming at the woman and a certain Black-Robed Man on the cliff. He didn't lower his hand until the woman fell unconscious.
Chi Feichei didn't let his guard down. He still crouched on the cliff, maintaining the action of covering the woman's mouth and nose with a handkerchief. Without raising his head, he said in a gentle voice, "Kid, are you planning to subdue me too?"
"Ah, ah, I was a bit hesitant, whether to see the true appearance of you, the Bounty Hunter who fights the Spider with firearms without regard for the safety of the public, or to see the true appearance of a certain Thief," Conan raised his right hand slightly, a playful smile on his face. He turned his head to look towards a certain Old Lady standing aside. "Right, Grandmother? No, I should say... Kaito Kid!"
So what if he leads a team struggling to survive? He's the winner now!
"Kai- Kaito Kid?!" Ayumi, Genta, and Mitsuhiko looked towards the old woman beside them in surprise.
Kuroba Kaito didn't remove his disguise. He smiled and still used an old voice, "You kid are truly not cute at all..."
Chi Feichei flew a sleeve sword with a fishing line towards the tree on the cliff. He held the unconscious 'Poisonous Rat' and kindly reminded them, "Did you forget something important?"
"Wh..."
Conan had just turned his head in doubt when he was interrupted by loud laughter.
"Hahaha!" The Burly Man held a diamond bigger than his palm. He surfaced from the water, smiling very happily. "The Niō Stone is mine!"
Completely opposite to him was the expression of Conan and Kuroba Kaito, who in a moment looked as if they had swallowed a large rock.
"Rumble—"
The house next to them emitted the sound of mechanisms running wildly. The ground also began to tremor. Pieces of gravel on the cliff rolled down into the pond.
Soon, the house was crushed by the internal water flow, and terrifying large water swept out.
"Quickly put the jewel back where it was!" Conan saw that the water was about to drown the children. He roared at the Burly Man, who had a blank face, "Otherwise, the large water will wash everyone down to the valley bottom!"
"Bang!"
The house was completely destroyed in the water flow, and an even larger water flow surged out.
Chi Feichei pressed the fishing line switch. Holding the 'Poisonous Rat', he flew upwards towards the cliff, saying in a gentle and leisurely voice, "I'll leave first. I'm leaving this to you here!"
Kuroba Kaito was swept by the large water towards the distance. Hearing this sentence, there was something on his mind he didn't know if he should say or not.
Brother Hichiji entrusted this group of kids to him, but didn't help himself? Simply despicable!
Not far away, after getting lost multiple times, Doctor Agasa finally brought two police officers to the forest in front of the house. He breathed a sigh of relief. "This is it..."
"Boom—"
The large water surged, creating waves taller than a person, and rushed into the forest.
Doctor Agasa and the two police officers' faces instantly switched between 'blank', 'surprise', and 'fear'. The next moment, they turned around and ran.
The moment after that, they were knocked to the ground by the water wave and completely submerged...
Half an hour later, due to Kuroba Kaito finding a method to put the diamond back where it was, the mechanism stopped running, and the water level slowly descended.
The Junior Detective League's five children and the Burly Man sat on the rooftop of the house, panting exhaustedly.
"That large diamond was the switch for this large mechanism," Mitsuhiko looked at Kuroba Kaito, who was maintaining the appearance of an old woman, returning. He breathed a sigh of relief. "It's truly thanks to Kid, now we won't be washed to the valley bottom."
The Burly Man sat on the rooftop tile, saying glumly, "Meaning, Sansui Kichiemon initially didn't intend for anyone to get the diamond, right?"
"Yes, due to its unparalleled hardness, the diamond was called 'King Kong Stone' in ancient times, and also known as the 'Unconquerable Stone'. As long as you know this term, you should know that the diamond absolutely cannot be stolen," Conan explained. "For Sansui Kichiemon, who supported the Shogunate, in order to prevent his wealth from being confiscated by the Anti-Shogunate Faction at the end of the Shogunate, he set up such a mechanism to express the sentiment that 'Even if I die, I will not let my wealth fall into enemy hands'."
The Burly Man realized that the diamond indeed couldn't be taken, so he let it go. "But, July just left like that?"
"Save it if you want to say bad things about July," Conan smilingly looked towards a certain old lady who had climbed onto the rooftop and just got up. "He still has an accomplice here!"
Mitsuhiko looked towards a certain old lady. "July said 'I'm leaving this to you', it turns out he was talking to Kid..."
Genta instantly perked up. "This time, is it Kaito Kid and Bounty Hunter July joining forces for treasure hunting?"
"It's not just for treasure hunting," Kuroba Kaito tore off his disguise and quickly changed into the appearance of Kaito Kid. His voice was no longer old. "It's because recently some unfriendly people have been watching me, and the diamond here made me feel compelled to check it out. So I formed an alliance with him. When necessary, he helps me find the diamond. Similarly, when he needs help, I will also help him catch people."
Conan asked with a playful smile, "Then didn't you suffer a loss? This diamond cannot be taken at all."
"Anyway, this isn't the jewel I'm looking for," Kuroba Kaito suspected that a certain stinky kid was trying to sow discord. Anyway, he wouldn't fall for it. "Being able to check out Sansui Kichiemon's mechanism, how could it be a loss!"
"Then this time, for the sake of you both saving my companion, I'll let it slide," Conan closed his watch cover and provocatively stared at Kuroba Kaito, who was raising his hang glider. "Sooner or later, I will expose your tricks and reveal your secretive hidden true appearance to the public!"
Kuroba Kaito laughed lightly and teased, "Oh my, you're truly malicious."
Conan Half-Moon Eyes: "..."
Suddenly wanted to give Kaito Kid a shot!
"Alright, it's because Pandora didn't know what was put in the box that she would open the box and release disaster..." Kuroba Kaito looked at Conan, leaped off the rooftop, and controlled his hang glider to fly towards the distance. "If you knew beforehand what was in the treasure box, wouldn't it become very boring?"
Conan watched speechless as a certain white shadow flew away.
Knowing what was inside before opening the box, this is what a detective does!
After a moment of silence, Genta spoke up and asked, "Then what should we do now?"
Mitsuhiko lay on the edge of the rooftop and looked downwards. "Although the water level has been descending, it will probably still need a bit of time..."
"Just wait for rescue," Haibara Ai said.
"Speaking of which," Ayumi said in doubt, "Where is the Doctor?"
In the forest in the distance, Doctor Agasa was holding onto a tree trunk like a koala, dodging the large water. He looked at the two police officers next to him who were the same as him, and silently looked towards the sky.
Washed here by the large water, he again forgot the location of that house before...
He didn't know how the children were doing, whether they could hold on until he brought the police officers over...
Never mind, he might as well wait for people who discover the large water on the mountain to come for rescue. Then it will be easy to meet up with the children.
...
The next day, evening.
Terai Kiichirou's billiards room was closed for the day.
"I'm full!" Kuroba Kaito put down his chopsticks with a satisfied heart.
Terai Kiichirou smiled and said, "Since we confirmed it's not the jewel we were looking for, then it wasn't a wasted trip. Moreover, Young Master Hassashi has a gain, so that's also a good thing!"
"By the way, Brother Hichiji," Kuroba Kaito reached out and poked Feichi, who was crawling on the table. He started playing the 'See if you can bite my finger' game with Feichi. "How much is that person worth?"
Chi Feichei put down his chopsticks. Seeing that Terai Kiichirou had also finished eating, he got up and started clearing the table. "There are two private bounties, dead or alive, as long as she is apprehended, plus the commission from the police, probably five million Japanese yen."
One 'Poisonous Rat', the gain is comparable to him running around with Haibara Ai for one night. The gain is good, but he has a large family business. This money hasn't even warmed up yet, and he still has to add a bit to it. He will then arrange for people to buy grain and daily supplies to send to Nameless and Feimo.
Although that group of cats and crows won't go hungry, they always need some reserve food. Kittens and baby crows also need to supplement nutrition. And grain is still the smaller part. The most expensive are medicine, warming supplies, and various 'education equipment', as well as water and electricity supply fees in some places.
In addition, he had Soma Taku build a shelter and medical center in the branch. If there are big cats or kittens who are ill, cats will take them to find a doctor. Occasionally, cats will also bring stray dogs and other animals there. He doesn't care whether they are Nameless's subordinates or not. Anyway, Nameless's group of cats needs a medical point, and it might as well help other animals along the way.
In terms of shelter and medical care, Shinchi Pet Hospital funded the majority. Shinchi's Pet Food factory and Pet Supplies factory will provide a batch of food every period of time to be sent there. He also contributed a portion of the money.
Adding up these miscellaneous things, it's a considerable amount of expenses.
Kuroba Kaito got up to help clear the table. "The worth is much higher than Yu."
"Do you want to attend the cruise ship maiden voyage the day after tomorrow?"
"Is it the Aphrodite of the Yashiro Conglomerate you mentioned? But I just happen to have a new goal."
"Mr. Terai, are you going?"
"I won't go then. I have to help Young Master Kaito with his investigation..."
"Hey, by the way, Brother Hichiji, how much do you say the Spider is worth?"
"The Spider is at least the price of ten Poisonous Rats. What? You want to collect bounties?"
"No, I'm just asking. If the Spider comes again, it's better for you to take him and exchange him for money. But I want a share, you know. Equipment maintenance also costs a lot of money... In short, let's talk about it when we see him!"
The Spider, far away in Germany, sneezed. He silently browsed the Bounty Hall. After seeing the new news about a certain July arresting the Poisonous Rat, he gritted his teeth.
Wait!
After he eliminated the demonic sound constantly echoing in his mind, and figured out a way to handle that kind of 'demonic sound echoing in the ear' harassment, he will go to Japan to find that bastard July and get revenge.
By the way, there's also Kaito Kid!
...
That night, Chi Feichei did not stay in Egota. On the way leaving, he went to Koizumi Akako's home and took two bottles of blood. After returning home, he ran to the balcony to sit and feel the wind, by the way research how other liquor can be mixed with blood to taste good.
The next day, Chi Feichei, Mori Kogoro, and Conan gathered at the Mori Detective Agency to confirm the matter of going to the cruise ship maiden voyage. By the way, they went together to the Kanto Karate Tournament Venue to pick up Mouri Ran, who was participating in the competition.
Feichi saw that the three people walked down a small path where not many people would pass. It didn't hide under clothes. It wrapped a circle around Chi Feichei's neck, resting its head and a portion of its body on Chi Feichei's shoulder. It basked in the sun, lazily muttering.
"Master, Master, Kaito said that people from Ekoda High School also participated in the Kanto Karate Tournament, right? It's a pity Kaito isn't in the karate club. They still have to participate in the campus greening activity..."
"Sigh, this kind of competition has no suspense at all. Ran will definitely win..."
"Master, the Kanto Karate Tournament is a very large grand competition, right? Mr. Mouri just now said that only the first place of the same level in the karate clubs of high schools throughout Kanto can participate, you know. If Ran wins, we should help celebrate a bit, right?"
Chi Feichei ignored Feichi's other mutterings. The last sentence, however, couldn't be ignored.
He could book a dining room for the night's celebration.
"Sigh..." Conan sighed boredly.
Chi Feichei: "..."
The last time the famous detective was bored, there was a car accident outside the Detective Agency. Then this time...

The woman's left and right wrists were dislocated. While gritting her teeth to prevent herself from groaning in pain, she also inevitably inhaled the anesthetic and lost consciousness.
