Conan: I'm Not a Psychopath
Chapter 673 - 1176 Disaster at the Communication Crime Scene
The Next Day afternoon, Chi Feichei took a Taxi to Yokohama Chinatown to meet with Kudo Yusaku.
Kudo Yusaku was disguised as an Old Man. He met up with Chi Feichei and explained smilingly, "In order to avoid being discovered by Conan, Yukiko and I disguised ourselves as an Old Lady and Old Man couple who bought that House. Today, that Group of Children came there to find us. Yukiko is in charge of entertaining them, so I went Out."
Chi Feichei also changed his Clothes, put on a Hat, and did some simple Disguise. He Turn Around and walked towards Chinatown, reminding him, "The Staircase there is too steep, not Suitable for an Old Lady and Old Man to live in."
"We also Considered this Problem. This Is Intentionally left as an Opening for Conan," Kudo Yusaku also walked into Yokohama Chinatown. "His Parents also want to See if that Child can Sense this Point. He has a lot of Talent for being a Detective."
"I See," Chi Feichei gave a versatile compliment and asked, "Mr. Yusaku, do you have a Goal?"
Kudo Yusaku stroked his chin and Pondered, "Actually, when I was in America, I also went to Chinatown in America. Because I wanted to create a Mysterious Chinese Expert who was very good with his Hands, I Initially thought I should go to Places like Martial Arts School and Traditional Chinese Medicine Shop to Understand. There are many restaurants in Chinatown, but I couldn't find a Martial Arts School. Fortunately, I was still able to find a Traditional Chinese Medicinal Materials Shop, but after I went there, the Other Party Suggested that I Go Find People related to Religion, Antique, and Ancient Chinese Handicrafts. Those kinds of People have a better Knowledge of Traditional Culture..."
As he spoke, Kudo Yusaku Turn Head to Look at Chi Feichei.
"I only come to Xinghua Street to eat. I haven't deliberately inquired about those kinds of People," Chi Feichei said truthfully.
Actually, if Kudo Yusaku wanted to create a Mysterious Chinese Expert, asking him would Solve everything.
Whether it was Jin Yong or Gu Long's Wuxia series, or Myths and Legends, Taoist Thought, Ghost Stories and Strange Tales, or Historical Figures and Events, he could list them for seven Days and seven Nights without repeating, but he didn't want to Say.
One was to cater to his current Identity. With his current Identity and Age, he could Understand a lot of Chinese Culture out of Interest, but not too much.
The second was Because... there was too much to Say.
The ancient country with a Deep Cultural Heritage, this Is Probably also the Reason why China always has a mysterious Color in many People's Hearts. Even Kudo Yusaku Is the Same. When he thinks of China, he Subconsciously Connects it with 'mystery'.
Kudo Yusaku was full of Drive. "Then let's Inquire first!"
The Two People, Just Like Detectives starting an Investigation Work, asked the Shopkeeper of a Roadside restaurant. If they didn't Gain anything, they would Ask where there were People who knew Chinatown better, and then Go Find them to Inquire.
After asking all the way, they finally inquired about a Suitable Person - a somewhat Older Boss of Ancient Handicraft Products.
The Antique Shop looked Like a large Warehouse, filled with Ceramic Products, Buddha Statue, Bird Cage, Beaded Curtain and other Things. Swords were also hung on the Wall.
Candles were lit on the Counter at the End, which was also the only Light Source in the Shop, making it Look ancient and mysterious.
The Boss was in his fifties, wearing a Tang Suit, with a Goatee, a thin Face, and bright Eyes that hid sharpness. After Discovering someone entering the Shop, he Turn Head, Looked, and welcomed them.
Chi Feichei Observed the Characteristic of the Boss's Hand and Foot movements. The three words 'Martial Artist' immediately popped into his Mind, and the Other Party was a Martial Artist practicing Traditional Chinese Martial Arts.
In his Previous Life, he started with Sanda, and influenced by the Wuxia craze of that Year, his Study Direction turned to Traditional Martial Arts. It wasn't Until after going abroad that he came into Contact with international Martial Arts such as Grappling, Karate, and Muay Thai. He himself had Seen many People practicing Traditional Martial Arts and international Martial Arts.
After practicing a certain Martial Arts for a certain number of Years, the Body will have some corresponding Characteristic when moving.
The Other Party looked thin, but when walking, his Footstep had a steady and agile strength. He couldn't See what Leg Technique the Other Party practiced for the Time being, but he had definitely Undergone long-term stance and pile-driving Training.
The Tang Suit was loose, blocking some of the Other Party's Body Characteristic, but from the movement of his shoulders, back, Waist, and abdomen when moving, there were also Traces of long-term Traditional Martial Arts Training.
The Other Party's Hands were relatively wide and thick, with hard calluses on the tiger's Mouth, and his Knuckle were also different from ordinary People. He should be practicing double Swords, not narrow-bladed Knives, but Large Ring Saber, that kind of large Knife.
It was not surprising that People who practiced Large Ring Saber had a stable lower body. The Large Ring Saber was heavy overall and focused on chopping, but there was also agility in the Other Party's Footstep, which didn't seem to be trained by practicing Large Ring Saber...
In short, this Person mainly practiced Large Ring Saber, but should also be practicing other Traditional Martial Arts.
"Welcome," the Boss approached, his Expression was relatively Serious, and the Japanese he spoke was not very Standard. "I Don't Know what I can do to Help you?"
Kudo Yusaku had a Knowledge of Chinese Language. Looking at the Boss's Tang Suit, he Pondered for a Moment and Guessed that this was a Traditional Person. Out of Value and respect, he also Said a not very Standard Chinese Language, "Hello, I am a Mystery Novelist..."
Chi Feichei stopped his Observation of the Boss and watched the Two People in Silence.
Because of this Sentence of strangely accented Chinese Language, Kudo Yusaku's Appearance in his Heart collapsed.
"Hello..." the Boss greeted in Chinese Language and paused.
The Problem came, should he Speak Japanese to Communicate next? Or should he Cooperate with this Person who looked Older than him to awkwardly Speak Chinese Language?
Kudo Yusaku was also Silent for a Moment, Scratch Head with a smile, and Said back to Japanese, "It seems I still can't Speak well."
What followed was simply a large-scale Disaster Crime Scene in the Communication world.
The Boss's Japanese was not good. Daily Routine phrases were generally fine, but occasionally some word sounds were wrong or vague. When the meaning of the word changed, People needed to replace it with the correct meaning to Understand.
Kudo Yusaku's Chinese Language accent was outrageously off. Simple words were fine, but if he really wanted to Connect them into a Sentence, he also needed to stop his Mind for a Moment to Connect and distinguish the specific meaning.
After the Two People went through Communication using Japanese, Chinese Language, and Japanese, they finally Realized that they could use English to make Communication smoother and easier, but After All, the Boss was really Older and hadn't Considered learning English well when he came to Japan. Communication was still quite Hard. After the Two People Pondered for a Moment, they switched back to Japanese Communication.
Chi Feichei Looked at the Things on the Framework in the Shop for a Circle, and also Looked at some Ceramic Products that looked Good. The Two People finally Communicated almost.
Kudo Yusaku finished his Self-introduction, Explained his Intention, and Said that he was willing to pay a Reward to consult the Boss about some Question. The specific Reward would depend on how much Help the Boss could provide.
The Boss introduced himself as Zheng and agreed to Kudo Yusaku's Proposal, but Due To the late Time, the Two Parties made an Appointment and Intended to meet again tomorrow Night.
Before going Out, Chi Feichei Said, "Why don't you just Say the Language you are Good At?"
Kudo Yusaku could Understand common Phrases in Chinese Language, and the Boss could Understand common Phrases in Japanese. Both Parties had Problems with oral expression.
Then it would be better for Kudo Yusaku to Speak Japanese and the Boss to Speak Chinese Language. Not only could they Understand, but it would also be easier for them to express themselves, saving them from always having the Feeling of 'struggling... struggling... struggling out'. He felt Uncomfortable listening to it.
Boss Zheng: "..."
This... makes Sense.
Kudo Yusaku: "..."
Also Correct, and he could also Listen To the expression of Chinese Language Phrases. If there was anything he was unsure of, he could Ask clearly By the Way... Mr. Chi didn't remind him earlier!
"But when it comes to some special Chinese nouns and Poetry, you Probably still have to Say them in both Languages," Chi Feichei poured another bucket of Cold Water.
Yes, for simple and commonly used Phrases, both Japanese and Chinese Language, the Two People could Understand, but when it came to some in-depth Poetry Sentences, they would Probably have to Say them in both Languages.
In short, the Communication Disaster of these Two People was still ahead.
"Why don't we do this? Boss, continue to Speak Chinese Language in the future," Kudo Yusaku Looked at the Shop Owner. "I want to Understand the Chinese Tradition Language expression Method. In addition, I will Contact a Translator. When we Chat about some special words and Phrases, I will let the Translator Help. However, it will Probably take A Bit to Contact. I will Come Over first tomorrow Night to Understand the Martial Arts Moves and Characteristic of Chinese Martial Arts."
"No Problem!" the Boss Nod in Chinese Language.
The Two Parties bid farewell and separated. When Kudo Yusaku stopped a Taxi on the Street, he also Said a Sentence in Chinese Language with some Sigh, "Is my Chinese Language that difficult to Understand?"
Chi Feichei: "..."
Please shut up!
The Two People took a Taxi to Beika Town together.
Chi Feichei went in and sat for a while, then went to the Attic to Check Kudo Yukiko's Arrangement.
On the Small Window facing the Mori Detective Agency, Kudo Yukiko directly set up a Camera and took a series of Photo of the Mori Detective Agency.
Many stolen Photo of Conan had already been pasted on the Wall.
In the Mori Detective Agency, Mori Kogoro, Mouri Ran, and Conan were sitting together Chatting and eating Rice. The Television was still playing a Program.
Not Knowing what they were talking about, Mori Kogoro Raise Hand and gave Conan a Head Hammer. Conan Scratch Head and laughed foolishly.
Kudo Yukiko was still wearing the Disguise of the Old Lady, and took a Photo with a 'click', smiling excitedly, "Conan Is Really Cute!"
Chi Feichei withdrew his Line of Sight and went to See the Photo on the Wall.
Secretly spying and taking Photo...
Kudo Yukiko actually did what he wanted to do first.
...
The Next Day, Chi Feichei had just arrived in Yokohama Chinatown when he received a Phone Call from Kudo Yusaku.
"Mr. Chi, have you arrived? I had A Bit of an Accident here. I Probably revealed A Bit of an Opening yesterday. Conan Is Tracking me now. Doctor Agasa happened to be passing by in his Car, and that Child came over in Doctor Agasa's Car. In short, I will Probably arrive in ten minutes. You Go Find Mr. Zheng and wait for me first. Don't forget to do your Disguise well. If that Child Discover you, you will be exposed."
"Understood."
"Beep... Beep..."
In the Taxi, Kudo Yusaku watched the Communication End page on his Mobile Phone Speechless. He Looked at it Speechless for two seconds before putting away his Mobile Phone.
Mr. Chi hangs up the Phone quite decisively.
In the Rear, Doctor Agasa was driving the Car, taking Conan all the way to Yokohama Chinatown.
After Conan got out of the Car, he followed with his Skateboard, Staring at the 'Old Man' in front of him who made him suspicious, and sneaked through the Crowd all the way to the front of the Small Alley.
Chi Feichei stuck on the Beard that Kudo Yukiko had Gifted last Night, wore a Hat with a low Hat Brim, and wore a very loose Black Coat. Seeing the disguised Kudo Yusaku arrive, he Turn Around and pushed the Door open to Go in.
Kudo Yusaku also followed in and lowered his Voice, "That Child Is still following."
