Chapter 721 Suspecting Conan Didn't Wake Up Today

"If we don't protect the environment, humanity will eventually suffer the consequences," Haibara Ai said with a calm face, leaning forward to look at the Newspaper in Chi Feichei's Hand. "There are also four fishermen whose Whereabouts are unknown... Oh, it seems there are quite a few man-made disasters, not just natural ones."

Mouri Ran could only smile, feeling deeply that the Era was changing too Fast. The Elementary School Students these days were more Mature and worldly than she was at their Age.

After leisurely discussing various Reports for a while, Enomoto Azusa brought the Coffee over on a Tray. She bent down to place the Tray flat Beside the Tabletop, then placed the two Cups of Coffee from the Tray onto the Table. "Here is your Coffee. Please enjoy."

"Thank you, Miss Azusa!" Mori Kogoro put down the Newspaper and said with a Smilingly face.

Enomoto Azusa also asked with a Smile, "Mr. Mouri, are you free today?"

"Well..." Mori Kogoro took out his Notebook from his Coat Pocket and flipped through his Schedule Record. "Let me Check. I'm going to the newly opened Pachinko Parlor nearby right away to Investigate the Condition of their Pachinko Machines. In the Evening, I'm attending a Dinner Party organized by the Town Neighborhood Committee, and tonight I have a Mahjong game... I'm incredibly busy!"

Conan and Mouri Ran were Speechless.

It was Actually possible for someone to describe slacking off in such a fresh and refined way.

"Is that so..." Enomoto Azusa sighed, then looked towards Chi Feichei with Expectation. "Then how about Mr. Chi? Are you free today?"

Chi Feichei put down his Coffee Cup. "I'm free all Day."

"Is there something you need Help with, Miss Azusa?" Haibara Ai asked.

"Ah..." Enomoto Azusa looked startled. "How did you Know I had something I was Worrying about? Is it that Obvious?"

A '?' slowly appeared in Haibara Ai's Mind.

She just asked Uncle Mori if he was free, and then immediately asked Brother Hichiji if he was free. Isn't it very Obvious that she needs Help with something?

Mouri Ran gave a dry laugh. "Then, Miss Azusa, what are you Worrying about?"

"Actually, it's..." Enomoto Azusa took out a Pink Mobile Phone from her Pants Pocket. "It's this."

Conan was startled. "Could it be that another Guest forgot their Mobile Phone in the Shop?"

Chi Feichei glanced at Conan.

He suspected Conan hadn't woken up properly today.

Enomoto Azusa took the Mobile Phone from her Pants Pocket under her Apron, not from the Pocket in front of her Apron. Keeping the Mobile Phone in such an Inconvenient and Secret Place, and the Pink Outer Casing being Suitable for a Girl, meant it was either Enomoto Azusa's own Mobile Phone or a Friend's Mobile Phone. How could the Famous Detective think it was left by a Guest in the Shop?

Conan was swept by Chi Feichei's Gaze and was Be Stunned for a moment, then he also Realized and glanced back at Chi Feichei with Half-Moon Eyes.

What's with that Suspicion in his Eyes?

He was Just thinking of the Incident involving political Bribery Last Time, is that Wrong?

If it weren't Because of Chi Feichei, Incidents wouldn't happen Beside them as soon as he came to Beika Town.

It was all Chi Feichei's Responsibility, and now this Culprit was Actually Despising him!

"Ah, no, this is Actually my Mobile Phone," Enomoto Azusa quickly said.

"Did someone send you Harassment Emails?" Mouri Ran asked with Concern.

"It is Indeed an Email Problem, But it's not Harassment Emails," Enomoto Azusa Lowered her Head and flipped through her Mobile Email. "The Email sender is a five-year-old Boy named Osabe Mitsuru. His Father is a regular Guest here, and he often comes with his Father. His Mother seems to have gone back to her Family Home and hasn't returned. Since then, he often sends me Emails using his Father's Mobile Phone, like 'Hello, Young lady, I went Out with Father today, Father bought me a Chair and a Hat, everyone is wearing Hats, I'll wear one too', 'I ate Cucumber today, didn't leave a single Bit', 'I took a Bath by myself today, isn't that Intense', 'Today I went to The Zoo and Saw an Elephant, I wonder if it's bigger than Giant Monster Gomera'..."

Chi Feichei raised his Eyes and Looked Towards Enomoto Azusa. "The shortest Gomera is 50 meters tall in one Movie, while Elephants can reach about four meters in Height."

Conan, Haibara Ai: "..."

(—.—||)

Almost forgot, there's a Gomera series Fan here.

"Is that so?" Enomoto Azusa exclaimed with Sigh. "Then Gomera is at least ten times taller than an Elephant, even taller than Ordinary Apartment Buildings!"

"Cough, Miss Azusa, are you Worrying Because that Child keeps sending you Emails?" Mori Kogoro said, getting back to Serious Business with Black Lines on his Forehead. "If that's the Case, Just tell the Child's Father and ask him to tell the Child not to send you Emails anymore."

"Ah?" Enomoto Azusa's Mind froze for a moment before she got back on track. "No, I don't Think it's annoying. The Emails he sent Before were all like that, sharing his Life as a Child, which is very Cute. But the Problem is, that Child sent me four Emails today, and I Think the Content is a Bit Wrong..."

"Four Emails?" Mori Kogoro was a Bit surprised.

"Yes, the first one was 'Hello, Young lady, today Father and I went Out together, Father bought me a Chair and a Hat, everyone is wearing Hats, I'll wear one too'. The second one was..." Enomoto Azusa Lowered her Head and flipped through the Mobile Email. "'Soaked with Sweat, it's really uncomfortable, even my Shoes are soaked. I Saw the Hotel Signboard, I really want to eat the Hamburgers from Young lady's Shop'. The Content of the third Email was, 'There's this Uncle wearing Black Glasses and an Aunt wearing Blue Clothes Looking towards me, don't be afraid, don't be afraid, I won't cry'..."

"Won't cry?" Mouri Ran felt the Situation was a Bit Wrong.

Enomoto Azusa Nodded, Confirming she hadn't misread, then Lowered her Head to Look at the Mobile Phone, frowning as she read, "The Content of the fourth Email is, 'Will I also die like a Fish caught in a Net?'"

"Die?!"

Mori Kogoro couldn't stay Calm anymore. He Turned his Head and Roared at Enomoto Azusa, "Did you Reply to these Emails? What did they Say?"

Enomoto Azusa was startled and quickly said, "I Replied with Emails like 'Where are you' and 'What are you doing', But he didn't Reply to any of them. Maybe he doesn't Know how to Check Emails."

"Are you Saying that Child can only send Emails, But can't Check them?" Mouri Ran asked further.

"Yes, he seems to only be able to Open the Emails I sent Previously, select Reply, and then send me Emails," Enomoto Azusa stared at the Phone Screen with Worry. "It seems his Father has always been the one receiving the Emails. His Father said he didn't teach him how to Open Emails so that he wouldn't See some Emails he shouldn't See."

Conan's Expression was solemn. "Then In Other Words, the Child's Father is not Beside him anymore?"

Chi Feichei Lowered his Eyes and drank his Iced Coffee.

He Realized it. There was indeed such an Incident.

The Boy who sent Emails to Enomoto Azusa was taken Fishing by his Father in the Car, But the Man went to break up a fight and was beaten into the Hospital, leaving the Boy alone in the Car, almost suffering from heatstroke.

Mouri Ran also started Worrying. "Looking at the Content of the second Email, he seems to be Hungry. Then maybe his Father has been away from him for a long Time."

"What are the sending Times of those Emails?" Mori Kogoro asked anxiously.

"Let me Check..." Enomoto Azusa quickly Looked at the Email sending Times. "The first one was at 9:07 AM, the second was at 10:16 AM, the third was at 11:54 AM, and the fourth was Just Now, received at 3:02 PM."

Mori Kogoro frowned. "The Intervals are getting longer."

"Do you Know the Child's Father's Phone Number?" Haibara Ai asked. "Did you Call and ask?"

Mouri Ran, Mori Kogoro, and Conan all Looked at Enomoto Azusa.

Also Correct, wouldn't they Know if they Called and asked?

"After receiving the Emails, I was very Worried about the Child's Condition, so I Called his Father's Mobile Phone, But the Call Prompt said it was not in the Service Area or had been Turned Off Phone. Maybe the Child's Father told him to Turn Off Phone after sending the Email to ensure Battery Level, Because Before, when his Father left the Mobile Phone with him and was going to be away for a while, he would also teach him this," Enomoto Azusa said anxiously, Turning her Head to Look Towards Chi Feichei, who had Just put down his Coffee Cup. "Although it's difficult, I want to Confirm the Child's Situation, so I was thinking if I could Request Mr. Mouri or Mr. Chi..."

"Do you Know where his Father was going to take him Fishing?" Chi Feichei Interrupted and asked.

This Incident wasn't difficult. If he could advance the Progress, he would. He wanted to come back early tonight to See the new Gomera Movie at the Movie Theater.

Enomoto Azusa was Be Stunned. "Fishing?"

"Didn't he Say it in the Email? He said his Shoes were soaked, so he should be wearing Boots," Conan patiently explained to the others. "Children rarely wear Boots, Especially in such Hot Weather. Plus, the Email said everyone was wearing Hats, and his Father also bought him a Hat and a Chair. When you talk about wearing a Hat, Boots, and sitting on a Chair, the only thing that comes to Mind is going Fishing!"

Enomoto Azusa suddenly Realized. "It seems that's the Case..."

"But if they were Fishing, and someone noticed a Child in a strange State, the other fishermen nearby wouldn't just ignore it, would they?" Mori Kogoro frowned in thought.

"Also Correct," Mouri Ran also hesitated. "How could everyone let a five-year-old Child stay alone for so long?"

Conan had a Confident Smile on his Face. "That must be Because..."

"Must be Because of what?" Mouri Ran stared.

"Because of what?" Mori Kogoro stared.

Enomoto Azusa also urged repeatedly, "Conan, Because of what?"

Haibara Ai picked up her Cup and drank her Juice.

A certain Famous Detective was starting to get Triumphant Again.

Chi Feichei Looked Towards Conan. If he had something to Say, he should Say it quickly, don't drag it out.

Conan Sweat a Bit from being stared at, and Smilingly started Acting Cute. "I-it must be Because the others were too invested in Fishing and didn't notice that lone Child..."

Mori Kogoro Roared with Black Lines on his Forehead, "That's why I Think this Point is very Weird! Why did no one notice this lone Child after several Hours!"

"He's in the Car," Chi Feichei Directly gave the Answer.

"In the Car?" Mouri Ran was puzzled.

Conan tried hard to suppress the Impulse to Analyze and explain, pretending to be a well-behaved and confused Child. "Huh? Why did Brother Chi Say he's in the Car?"

Once Seeing Conan's Appearance, Chi Feichei Knew he couldn't rely on Conan and had to explain himself. "He mentioned in his Email that everyone was wearing Hats, he Saw the Hotel Signboard, and then mentioned a Man wearing Black Glasses and a Woman wearing Blue Clothes Looking at him. But from the Height of a five-year-old Child, when he usually Sees other People, the first thing he would notice is their Pants or Skirts, and he might even pay more attention to their Shoes. He would also tend to use expressions like 'the Woman wearing a Skirt', 'the Man wearing Blue Boots', or describe them from the overall Appearance, like 'a very Tall Man', 'a slightly Fat Uncle'. Furthermore, when Seeing a Hotel, Ordinary People sharing it with others would describe whether the Shop is big or not, whether it looks Clean, or if there are many Guests, instead of sharing 'Saw the Signboard'. The Affairs that Child Saw have one thing in common: his Line of Sight was focused on relatively High Places at that Time..."
