"Tsk~ Your Osaka police are really full of..." Kogoro Mouri was about to make a sarcastic remark about the Osaka police, but then he thought that the situation in his own Tokyo was not much better, so he had to swallow the words that were on the tip of his tongue.
"Are we just supposed to sit here and wait for the culprit to commit another crime before we have a chance to catch him?" Conan said somewhat resentfully as he flipped through the mountain of documents on the table.
"Otherwise what? We can't even be sure if the murderer is Ichiro Numabuchi, let alone find a way to catch him." Kogoro Mouri mercilessly attacked the morale of his allies.
This immediately silenced everyone present, the entire space seemed to be enveloped in stillness, and the atmosphere was extremely oppressive.
Just then, a clear bell rang out abruptly.
Beep beep beep...
"Heiji-nii, your phone is ringing." Conan looked up and glanced at Hattori, who was scratching his head and looking somewhat anxious.
"Those spam texts again!" Hattori Heiji, who was frantically trying to figure out if he had missed anything, looked a little impatient and casually took out his phone to glance at it.
"Heiji-nii?" Conan saw Hattori freeze in place after seeing the message on his phone, and walked over in confusion. "Did you receive some special message?"
"See for yourself!" Hattori's eyes were filled with shock as he quickly shoved the phone into Conan's hand.
"This is..." Conan's pupils dilated sharply the moment he saw the message, and a look of astonishment appeared on his face.
Fugitive Ichiro Numabuchi is currently trapped in an abandoned cabin in the Minoo Mountains. If he isn't found soon, he's going to be killed! Great Detective~
"Who sent this? How does he know all this?" Conan asked, puzzled.
“I don’t know,” Hattori Heiji stood up with a serious expression and said in a solemn tone, “I only know that we must go and check if it’s true or not right now!”
"Hey, Hattori, where are you two going, Conan?" Sakata Yusuke exclaimed in surprise as he watched Conan and Hattori Heiji suddenly stand up and rush out of the office.
"Officer Sakata, quickly notify the police! Ichiro Numabuchi has appeared in the Minoo mountain area..."
...
"Come on..." Yu Shengnan said with a slightly mocking smile. He put away his phone, lowered his head and waved his hand gently. A trash can that had been buried underground suddenly appeared.
He wasn't worried at all that Hattori Heiji and Conan wouldn't come. After all, with their almost identical arrogant personalities, the first thing they would do upon receiving the message was rush over to check the situation without considering whether there was any danger.
What kind of sparks will fly between the fugitive and the two great detectives from the Kanto and Kansai regions?
He's really looking forward to it!
With that thought in mind, Yuzuru casually tossed a capsule containing a special item in his hand.
The props here are perfect for these famous detectives.
"Nan, dinner is ready," Xiao Lan's clear voice rang out.
"They're here!" Upon hearing Xiaolan's call, Yusheng Nan snapped out of his reverie and turned to walk quickly toward the waterfall.
The area around Gimyeon Waterfall is now filled with all sorts of camping gear, a truly diverse collection.
Even Ai Haibara, out of boredom, set up a tent.
These items were all released by him using the universal capsule, leaving Kazuha, who had never seen anything like it, in awe and exclaiming, "Sukuni Ichi!"
"Nan, come and try the food that Kazuha cooked, it's so delicious!" As soon as Ran saw Yuzuru Nan approaching, she excitedly carried a plate of food over and quickly handed it to Yuzuru Nan.
"It smells delicious, I'll have to try it." Yuzuru smiled as he took the plate, then naturally sat cross-legged on the camping blanket, and smiled gently at Kazuha, who seemed a little embarrassed after being praised, "Thank you for your hard work, Kazuha."
"Haha, thanks to Yuzuru-kun for preparing all these ingredients and cooking utensils." Kazuha said happily, her eyes filled with amazement as she looked at the neatly arranged and incredibly complete array of cooking utensils beside the waterfall.
It's like they brought the whole kitchen here.
Although she was filled with curiosity about the all-powerful capsule that Hanyu Nan had mentioned, Kazuha's good upbringing prevented her from rashly asking a newly acquainted friend what such a powerful thing was.
Kazuha didn't ask, and Hanyu, Ran, and Ai tacitly refrained from mentioning it.
"Haha, better safe than sorry!" Yuzuru savored a bite of the delicious dish that Kazuha had carefully prepared, chuckled, and said, "Look, meeting Kazuha-kun today has come in handy."
Receiving such praise, Kazuha couldn't help but raise the corners of her mouth slightly, revealing a smile.
"Kazuha's cooking skills are so good, you must teach me when we go to Tokyo!" Ran said as she walked over and sat down next to Yuzuru, carrying the last part of the dish in both hands.
"No, Ran, your cooking is great too!" Kazuha quickly replied modestly.
Ai silently swallowed a mouthful of food and looked up at the two girls who were praising each other.
Although she really wanted to say that her sister was a better cook, she decided against it after thinking about it.
After all, she was still enjoying the carefully prepared meal, so it wasn't appropriate to say such things at this time.
The four people sat leisurely around the Jimian Waterfall, enjoying the scenery and a sumptuous dinner.
Yuzuru would occasionally tell a humorous joke, making Ran and Kazuha laugh heartily, their clear laughter echoing in the air.
Even Ai Haibara, who is usually aloof, showed a slight smile.
Meanwhile, Heiji Hattori and Conan, having traveled non-stop and hurried along the way, finally managed to reach the Minoo mountain area before the police even arrived.
"Hattori, is this the place?" Conan looked at the dark, seemingly endless forest in front of him, his expression somewhat grave.
“That’s right, this is the Minoo Mountain area mentioned in the information.” Hattori Heiji habitually pressed down on his beloved baseball cap, a hint of determination in his eyes. “There’s also a really beautiful waterfall here. After we catch the culprit, Kudo, I’ll definitely take you to see it.”
"Okay!" Conan nodded emphatically.
The two of them looked like old generals on a theatrical stage.
