After determining that it was a rare daily activity rather than a "case trigger", Tang Ze relaxed and became a little lazy.
Sonoko and Xiaolan were sitting together chatting, while Conan stood aside looking at the huge fish rubbing hanging on the wall of the hall.
The so-called fish rubbing is a method of recording and displaying the length, shape, color and other body characteristics of different types of fish. It is generally divided into direct and indirect methods.
The direct method is to apply ink on the cleaned fish and make a rubbing, while the indirect method is to place rice paper close to the fish, and then use a rubbing bag dipped in ink to gently tap the rice paper to get the shape of the fish.
Many fishing enthusiasts, after having a good "result", will make a copy of their proud prey and frame it, write the time, place and witnesses of the fishing on it, stamp it, and hang it on the wall as a souvenir.
The fish rubbing that Conan was looking at at the moment was almost as long as the cabinet below, so you can imagine how big the fish was.
"How is it? Is this fish big?" Just as Conan was standing in front of the fish print, a young man came over and said with a smile: "This is what a friend of mine caught."
Conan looked at the other person and found that it was Takuya Tsutomubuchi whom he had met in the morning, the winner of the fishing tournament two years ago introduced by Mr. Mizui.
Upon hearing this, Tang Ze turned his head to look at the fish print and found the words "Kensuke Kanie" written on it. It was obvious that this person was the owner of the fish.
"Sister Saori, how can I catch such a big fish?" Ayumi said with some longing as she looked at Saori Ayukawa beside her.
"Maybe it's because he's had a lot of experience fishing since he was a kid."
Hearing this, Ayukawa Saori looked at Ayumi and smiled, "If you start fishing now, it won't be impossible for you to catch such a big fish when you grow up!"
"Really?" Ayumi said happily, "You're making me want to grow up quickly."
"Then how did you get involved in fishing, Saori-san, and become so good at it?" Xiaolan asked, holding a teacup.
"Maybe it's because of my father's influence." Ayukawa Saori said with a nostalgic smile: "When I was little, my father often took me to the river or lake to fish.
I didn’t even go to the zoo or amusement park much until I was in high school.”
"Eh? I feel so pitiful." Ayumi, who was standing by, couldn't help but sigh after hearing what Saori Ayukawa said: "Those places are really interesting..."
"It's okay. Fishing is fun for me."
When Saori Ayukawa heard Ayumi's pity for her, she couldn't help but smile and made a rod-pulling motion and said, "The feeling of a fish biting the hook is really addictive!"
"Oh! Miss Champion is talking about her childhood? This is precious information!"
Just as everyone was laughing and joking, Funaki Toshihiko suddenly walked up to Ayukawa Saori and invited her, "How about we go for a drink together? It's a way to celebrate your victory in advance."
"No, thanks." Saori Ayukawa turned her head away and refused.
"Why, don't you want to drink with me?"
Funaki Toshihiko glanced at Tang Ze and the other man with a rather cautious look, then smiled and said, "Forget it then, don't make me look like a gangster, I'm buying you a drink for a serious matter."
"What's the serious matter? Just say it here." Saori Ayukawa had no intention of going drinking with him and chose to make it clear directly.
"Actually, my reason for coming here, besides publishing about this competition, is to wrap up my work as a 'railway fan'."
Funaki Toshihiko put his hands in his wide sleeves and looked at Ayukawa Saori and said with a smile: "You should be familiar with this area, right?"
"I'm familiar with it, but not to the point where I'm familiar with everything." Ayukawa Saori said calmly, holding a drink in both hands: "There are still some places I don't understand."
"You can definitely help me!" Funaki Toshihiko pleaded, "Please help me, please!
Saori, please help me!!”
"Okay then." Saori Ayukawa sighed, and although she was a little reluctant, she still stood up and walked out.
"I knew you would agree, Saori!" Funaki Toshihiko chuckled and said, "Thank you so much."
"Did something happen between these two people before?" Ayako whispered as she watched the two people walking away.
"Why do you say that?" Tang Ze asked with a smile.
"You see, Mr. Funaki's attitude is very frivolous and casual, but Ms. Saori hates it but feels helpless. It feels like they were a couple who broke up and the man keeps pestering her."
Ayako analyzed the previous scene and said, "Look at Mr. Funaki's attitude. Most people would not be so rude in front of a lady. This can only happen if the two of them had a good relationship.
The fact that Ms. Saori didn't like his pestering but still agreed to his request is a testament to this point."
"Your analysis makes a lot of sense." Tang Ze played with the tender hand in his hand and said with a smile, "When did you become a great detective? I didn't realize it."
"Go on, you're such a chatterbox." Ayako slapped Tang Ze in annoyance and said, "I'm just trying to follow your example and tell you everything I see."
Some people say that when two people are together for a long time, they will unconsciously pick up each other's habits. It seems that this is the case with Ayako now. She has unconsciously picked up Tang Ze's habit of observing and analyzing.
Of course, what Ayako could see, Tang Ze could naturally see as well, but when his girlfriend spoke, he would definitely support her.
"Is that the 'Railway Fan' magazine that Funaki-san was talking about? I've bought that magazine before."
