Chapter 907 Pit-fall Belmode
Sawada Hiroki eavesdropped on the phone conversation. After the call ended, he directly reminded from the mobile phone, "Godfather, be careful when you go out. Those two FBI Agents are still watching outside."
"Don't eavesdrop on my cough cough... calls."
Chi Feichei suppressed the discomfort from coughing and sent an email to Ubu Saika.
[Bring a few Friends to Line Club to have fun, arrive before 8 PM. If there are suspicious people inside or outside the Club, or any Abnormality, email me. Don't wear black, and don't let people discover your Purpose. –Raki]
After sending the email, Chi Feichei didn't wait for a reply. He picked up Feimo, Hassashi, Wu Ming, and Xiaomei and placed them on the Table so that the four Creatures could see the Computer Screen. Then, he typed on the Computer:
[Feimo, Xiaomei, Wu Ming, you stay at Home to create the Pretense that I'm Home. Noah, pay attention to reminding them: around 9 PM, go to the Washroom, turn on the Washroom light, fill the Bathtub with Hot Water, drain the Hot Water after half an hour, turn off the Washroom light. Around 10 PM, turn on the Bedroom light, turn off the Living Room light after three minutes. The Time doesn't need to be too precise.]
Even without Sawada Hiroki's reminder, he wouldn't forget the two FBI Agents outside the Apartment.
Judging from the Surveillance Situation, Akai Shuichi was staking out near Doctor Agasa's House with two people. The FBI's focus was definitely on Haibara Ai. Jodie had contacted several foreign Face today, she should be Dispatching Personnel and preparing for a Duel.
In addition, since last Night, there had been two FBI people Surveillance near his Apartment and near Mori Detective Agency, and they hadn't left.
The FBI was probably worried that Belmode was playing a 'scheme within a scheme within a scheme', seemingly wanting to Take Action against Haibara Ai, but in reality, she was diverting people to Take Action against him or someone from Mori Detective Agency. Although Akai Shuichi would think this Possibility was Unlikely after seeing Haibara Ai's Photo, they still had to consider this Possibility.
Arranging Personnel at his Place and Mori Detective Agency could also prevent Belmode from using the Safety of these people as her last Trump Card for a Sure Kill.
In short, in these few days, the FBI near his Apartment and Mori Detective Agency wouldn't withdraw, and the Surveillance would continue until the FBI and Belmode had a Victory or Defeat.
Belmode definitely knew about the FBI's Arrangement. Tonight, asking him out was just to Take a Gamble, to see if she could take advantage of him.
If he was careless because of a Cold, because he hadn't taken Action Recently, or because of the apparent calm, or if he didn't Sense the FBI Surveillance nearby, then, according to his habits, he would directly use his own Face to leave the Apartment, find a Place with a large Crowd nearby, such as a Station or Shopping Mall, Disguise, change Clothes, Concealment in the Crowd to leave, arrive at the Place where another Car was parked, drive away, and then drive to the meeting Location.
In this way, the two people Surveillance Outside would discover that he went out in the middle of the Night, Tracking him all the way to Some Place, and then be deceived by his Disguise Technique, losing him as a Tracking Goal.
What would FBI people think if a person with a severe Cold who had been staying at Home for days suddenly went out in the middle of the Night and Secretive went to a Shopping Mall or similar Place to shake off Tracking?
It might be okay at other Times, but in the Situation of 'having a Cold and not Going Out for many days', his sudden run out in the middle of the Night was unreasonable.
The FBI would speculate that he must have something Important to do, even if he had to do it while dragging his sick Body, and it was something that couldn't be Tracked or discovered.
Once Suspicion arose and they started Staring and Investigating, he would be locked down by the FBI, and it would become very inconvenient to act in the future.
But since he knew that there were FBI people Surveillance nearby and knew the current Situation of all parties, breaking the Scheme was simple—
Don't walk out of the Main Entrance in a grand manner, create the Pretense that he was always at Home.
"I Understand, Godfather, you mean to make the Surveillance people think you are at Home, right?" In the Computer, Sawada Hiroki lowered his voice, "Don't worry, I will remind them when the Time comes."
Chi Feichei's eyes flickered, and his voice was very soft, "Noah, cough cough, record my Sound..."
Home Delivery Service is not only the most Joyful existence, but also the easiest thing to have Pitfalls.
…
8:00 PM.
On the Apartment Rooftop where Chi Feichei lived, a Rope shot towards the Rooftop of the Apartment Building next door. The cone at the end wrapped around the Railing twice and got stuck.
A Black Shadow pulled the Rope and quickly passed between the two Buildings. When it was about to reach the End Point Rooftop, the taut Rope suddenly broke. The section of Rope in the Black Shadow's hand quickly extended, taking the Black Shadow all the way down to the third Floor of the Building.
After flipping through the Window of the third Floor Safety Passage, the Black Shadow took out a Lighter and lit the Rope, and then Clean Up the Trace on the Window sill.
Gray-yellow Flames lit up on the Rope, quickly burning upwards.
After doing all this, the Black Shadow turned around and walked towards the Elevator, while Reaching Out to cover his Mouth, suppressing the Cough in his Throat.
Chi Feichei, wearing a Disguise Mask of a Middle-aged Man's Face and dressed like an ordinary Office Worker, stepped into the Elevator and then slowed down the urge to Cough.
Pit-fall Belmode!
8:11 PM.
A silver-gray Car was parked on the Streetside of the Luxury Apartment area in Beihu Town. Two foreign Face were sitting in the Car, paying attention to the Movement of the Apartment next door.
A Middle-aged Man in a Suit and leather shoes walked quickly across the Sidewalk, his back slightly hunched, holding a Mobile Phone in one Hand and putting it to his ear, nodding obsequiously to the other side, "Yes, yes, Section Chief... I'm on the Street..."
The two foreign Face paid a little attention, then withdrew their Line of Sight and continued to Stare at the Apartment next door.
9:26 PM.
A Leopard Home Delivery Car drove to the front of the Apartment and stopped. After the Delivery Person got out of the Car, he went around to the cargo box and took out a Box, walking into the Apartment Building that was being Surveillanced by two foreign Face.
In the Car, the person in the Passenger Seat whispered a few Words to the Earphone, opened the Car Door, and pretended to follow the Delivery Person casually.
The First Floor of the Apartment Building had a Glass Security Door that required card verification. The Delivery Person, holding the Box, found the Number 1102 on the Display Screen of the Doorbell Intercom in front of the Security Door and pressed it.
"Ding-ling-ding-ling! Ding-ling-ding-ling!..."
The Doorbell rang for a while before the Intercom was connected. A young male voice, slightly hoarse, said, "This is the Chi Family, cough, may I ask who this is?"
"Excuse me, is this Mr. Chi Feichei of Room 1102?" the Delivery Person said, "I am a Delivery Person from Leopard Home Delivery. Here is a Home Delivery for you, which requires personal Sign for."
"It's me... cough cough cough... but I didn't order Things."
"Ah, but..." The Delivery Person lowered his Head to Confirm the Printed Order, "It is indeed Things delivered to you."
"Then please Trouble you to put it in the Storage Mailbox at the Entrance... cough, sorry, I'm not feeling well."
"Okay, no Problem, then I won't bother you, please take a good Rest."
The Delivery Person waited for the Intercom to be disconnected, turned around and went to the Mailbox at the Entrance, looked up and found the Cabinet marked 1102, put the Home Delivery in, and closed the Cabinet Door.
The foreign Face Man stood in front of the Intercom, pretending to look for the Floor, and after the Delivery Person turned around and left, used the Reflection of the Glass Security Door to Stare at the Delivery Person getting in the Car and leaving, and whispered to the Earphone, "Mr. Akai, the person has left."
"Understood, you continue to Stare, someone will change shifts at five o'clock tomorrow morning."
On the other end of the Earphone Communication, Akai Shuichi breathed a sigh of relief in his Heart.
When he just heard that it was a Home Delivery for Chi Feichei, he couldn't help but be on high alert.
Belmode, that Woman, knew Disguise Technique, they had to be on guard, what if she pretended to be a Delivery Person to Kidnapping Chi Feichei?
Although Unlikely, they still had to be Careful.
Fortunately, it seemed to be a Normal Home Delivery, and had nothing to do with that Woman.
…
9:28 PM.
The Street where Line Club was located was full of Cars driven by Guests.
In one of the Cars, Chi Feichei, wearing Raki Disguise Face and a Mask, waited for Ubu Saika and two young Woman to come out of the Club and walk away before taking off the Earphone plugged in his left ear, pulling up his Hat, getting out of the Car and entering the Club.
Belmode really dug a good Pitfall.
The Driving Distance from his Apartment was forty minutes, plus the Time for Disguise in the middle, Observation of whether anyone was Tracking, and Confirmation of whether the Vicinity of the meeting Location was Safety, it was probably an Hour.
The Promise was to meet at the Club at 9:30 PM, so at the latest 8:30 PM, he had to Go Out.
If a Home Delivery was delivered to his Apartment Building after he went out, and the Delivery Person rang the Doorbell but no one answered, the FBI who were Surveillance Outside the Apartment Building would discover that he was not at Home.
That Home Delivery might be a Lottery Ticket from some Home, or an Invitation Letter from a certain Company with Gifts attached.
As long as they took away the Home Delivery that was supposed to be delivered to him today in advance, and put it into the Home Delivery Truck leaving Beika Town after 6 PM, when the Leopard Home Delivery Delivery Person was preparing to End today's delivery and checking and verifying the delivery items at 9 PM, they would discover that his Home Delivery was 'missed', and deliver it to his Apartment after 9 PM.
In this way, even if he Suspected that it was Suspicious for this Home Delivery to arrive when he was about to Go Out, and went to Investigate the sender, the sender would Reply - 'Yes, we sent it to you', and if he went to Investigate Leopard Home Delivery, the Delivery Person would also Reply - 'Sorry, the reason why it was delivered so late was Because we missed it, and we sent it to you when we found it during the evening Inspection'.
Everything would only look like a Coincidence.
And the FBI's Staring at him and Investigating him would be carried out Secretive, even if they found out that he was an Organization Member, they would not immediately do anything to him, but choose to play the Long Game, so that when he discovered that he was locked down by the FBI, he probably wouldn't know when he was locked down.
Fortunately, he was Prepared. He had Sawada Hiroki record several Dialogue Recording of his Sound at Home, all of which were commonly used Dialogue Recording. When needed, Sawada Hiroki could cut and synthesize them to Handle emergencies.
Belmode actually wanted to use Home Delivery Service to Pitfall him? Impossible.
After Chi Feichei entered the Club, he saw a touch of silver in the Crowd at a Glance. He walked to that Table and noticed the Cigarette in Gin's mouth, who was sitting Leisurely with his legs crossed in front of the Table. His sitting Action paused, and he changed to sit on the Chair furthest from Gin.
Gin glanced sideways: "..."
Explain, what's the meaning of this act of disgust?
Belmode wore Sunglasses and a Long Trench Coat, looked at Chi Feichei sitting down, and a smile appeared on the corner of her Mouth, "Your Cold is very serious, Raki."
Chi Feichei 'uh-huh' and said Nothing Else.
Gin Reached Out and pressed the Cigarette into the Ashtray on the Table, "Belmode, you should get straight to the Point, right? What's the Matter with calling both me and Raki over here? He looks like he's not far from dying of Illness."
Chi Feichei: "..."
Don't bully him for not wanting to Speak Out.
"Sorry, Raki, I didn't want to Trouble you Originally," Belmode took out a Poster and put it on the Table, "But there is indeed something Important..."
