Chapter 118 Startling the Snake



The group then each headed towards their own cabin.

However, Gao Yuan, who was at the very back, cast a curious glance over.

"Now I know why you became a detective."

"Your intentions are written all over your face. There's no other way out for someone like you but to be a good person."

"Go for it, you champion of justice! We're waiting to see how you do."

After saying that, he waved his hand and walked away along the path.

...

As Toyama Yoruichi had predicted, Takato didn't come to soak in the hot spring. According to his explanation to Wada, he washed up in the cabin and then went to rest early.

That's just an excuse.

Yoruichi thought to himself that no matter how exquisite the disguise mask was, it probably wouldn't be able to maintain its normal appearance in a hot and humid environment like a hot spring.

In other words, back then, I only had daily interactions with "Boss Mao" and we never actually lived together.

Otherwise, she wouldn't have failed to discover his identity and would have been stabbed by him for no reason.

The resulting surge of thoughts caused Yoruichi Toyama to momentarily lose herself in thought, even forgetting that Akemi, who was also soaking in the hot spring, was right next to the fence.

Kindaichi, however, is a man of action.

With a "whoosh," followed by a strange "waaaaaa."

It wasn't until Kindaichi, who hadn't even gotten off his first attempt, was splashed with hot water and fell headfirst into the water beside him that Yoruichi Toyama snapped out of her reverie and burst into laughter at Hajime-chan's disheveled state.

"Laugh! What are you laughing at!" Kindaichi muttered, wiping his face in slight embarrassment and anger.

"You said you came here to participate in a treasure hunt, but you didn't visit any famous historical sites, you didn't dig for treasure with any care, and you didn't soak in the hot springs with any seriousness."

"What exactly are you here for?"

"Alright, Kindaichi, stop complaining." After bickering with Mogami Hazuki all day, Mr. Itsuki, who was comfortably soaking in the hot spring, finally calmed down and said with a smile.

"The treasure hunt hasn't officially started yet! Why don't we go back later and study the clues carefully, and see what insights Mr. Yuanshan has?"

He was indeed one of the believers that treasure existed.

Yoruichi Toyama looked around the hot spring and found that all the men were present except for Takato, and they seemed to be enjoying this leisurely time, so she breathed a slight sigh of relief.

According to the spoilers, the first victim will appear tonight, not even tomorrow.

Stopping it on the spot is certainly an option, but is there a better way...?

For example, to dissuade that "white-haired ghost" from committing murder...

Thinking this, Yoruichi Toyama smiled slightly and said seriously, "However, I really didn't come here to find treasure."

"Huh?" Mr. Itsuki, whose plan had been foiled, stared in surprise.

I wondered who it was that was crying and shouting before, saying they wanted to get involved too?

"Just as I thought!" Kindaichi understood this explanation and revealed the lecherous smile that accompanied the coded message.

"So you and Miss Akemi haven't... So, you're planning to make your move tonight, isn't that right?"

"What are you saying!" Yoruichi Toyama tried to ignore the endless thoughts her words brought to mind and continued along her previous train of thought, "I did it for you, Kindaichi-kun!"

"Don't you realize that every time you go on a trip, something is bound to happen?"
