Chapter 48: Sunny Moon Mountain Journey - Encounter She just wants to live a peaceful life...
92.
Lin Xi was woken up by the ringing of the phone.
She lay on the bed, stretched out like a pancake, and struggled to answer the phone.
"Hello?"
"Hey, hey," Chianti said irritably from the other side. "Punch, have you forgotten something?"
"Huh?" Lin Xi was stunned for a moment, then jumped up. "Today is actually Tuesday?!"
"Bingo," Chianti said, "come on, we're at your door—"
"Give me three minutes... no, five! It'll be over soon!"
Lin Xi got up and packed in a hurry, using the fastest lightning speed he had ever used in his life.
"Excuse me……"
Lin Xi got on the back seat of Chianti's Viper, holding Coconut, and said, "I really thought today was Monday."
"Oh, it's okay. Since you're so fast, I won't bother with you."
Chianti waved his hand nonchalantly and started the car. "By the way, how's your new hire going?"
Lin Xi was stunned for a moment, then said guiltily, "Well, they are all working hard..."
Although I was on vacation while they were working hard...
But she really took it seriously!
She marked each person, and if they were in any danger, she would be there for them.
"Ahh, the new guy is so energetic. The missions lately have been so boring, I feel like my gun is going moldy..."
They drove to Qingyue Mountain.
Mount Harutsuki is a small mountain in Kusunoki Town, Nagano Prefecture. It has beautiful scenery, a quiet environment, and few tourists.
Before entering the mountain, they parked the car at the foot of the mountain and then climbed up along the trail.
The system had transformed Lin Xi's initially sluggish body, which would have died if struck by a single blow, into a robust, strong, and sharp-eyed body. Closing her eyes, she could sense the mountain breeze blowing through the grass, the rustling of insects, the calls of birds and animals, the distant sound of flowing water... and more...
Lin Xi opened her eyes.
...gunshots?
Chianti and Cohen beside her didn't seem to notice. She looked thoughtful and asked Cohen:
"How did Cohen find such a great place?"
Cohen pushed up his sunglasses. "Newspaper, niche, tourist attraction, recommendation."
I saw the recommendation for the niche attractions above when reading the newspaper.
Lin Xi clicked on the system map.
A few small green dots, a few small blue dots, a few small red dots, and a few small gray dots.
The small green dots represent the "good guys" with identities, usually police officers or agents; the small blue dots represent important characters that may appear in the plot; the small red dots represent wine; and the small gray dots represent ordinary people who have no identities and will not appear in the plot.
She herself does not appear on the map, and the Chianti and Cohen next to her are bright red dots; while in the Harmonious Moon Mountain, several small green and blue dots are moving.
One of them she also tagged.
Isn't this Hiroki Kashimura?
Why is he here!
He and Sugishima Jun'e, these kids really are, one by one, can they please stay in school obediently when they are supposed to be there?
Also, why would the police appear in a place like this?
Taking a day off to come and climb the mountain?
No way.
In connection with the gunshot just now, Lin Xi inexplicably felt like he had received a side quest.
Is this how Conan lives every day?
Go out and play → encounter a case → accept the case → solve the case.
What a simple and ordinary life.
If something like this happened to Lin Xi, she would just want to live a peaceful life.
They had now climbed halfway up the mountain and were sitting in a shady place to rest.
Several people were sweating, and the cool breeze from the mountains evaporated their sweat, bringing a cool feeling.
"Here, in the shade, have a picnic," Cohen said.
It's cool here, let's have a picnic here.
Coconut meowed in agreement.
Chianti, the man of action, has already started laying tablecloths on the stone tables.
Lin Xi: No...
Her experience told her that if she had a picnic in a place like this, she would definitely encounter something...
Then their picnic would definitely be ruined.
As expected, Chianti had just placed the food on the table when he heard some movement not far away.
Three plainclothes policemen came up.
The man in the lead had slightly dark skin, a beard, and his hair was tied into a ponytail at the back of his head. He had thick eyebrows with flared ends, fierce eyes, and a rough appearance.
The man and woman behind him were much more handsome than him. The man was thin and slender, with a mustache, a slight smile on his face, and raised eyebrows. He was a gentleman, elegant and easy-going; the woman was tall, with delicate eyebrows and eyes, and her hair was piled high on the back of her head, looking very capable.
Lin Xi looked at the three people, and the corners of his mouth twitched.
The reason was simple. When these three people appeared, she decisively pulled down the character list to check.
A new entry appears in the character list.
[Yamato dares to help: the police. 】
[Zhufushi Takaaki: A policeman and Zhufushi Jingguang's older brother.]
[Uehara Yui: Police. 】
The entries for the three people were all very brief, but it was the second one that made Lin Xi's pupils tremble.
Zhu Fujingguang actually has a brother!
Hmm... they do look alike...
Especially the eyes, they are exactly the same.
Perhaps because Lin Xi stared at her for too long, Zhu Fu Gaoming also cast an inquiring look at her.
Lin Xi: His eyes shifted.
She doesn't want to take side quests.
Please pretend you didn't see them and just walk past them.
But Chianti was a complete idiot. She leaned over to Lin Xi's ear and asked, "Tiaozi?"
Lin Xi: ...
Sister, you actually have a very loud voice, did you know that?
She knew why Chianti could tell that the three of them were police officers - because although they were criminal police and didn't need to wear police uniforms, who would wear suits to climb the mountains? Especially in such hot weather?
And there are outlines of guns on their waists.
Killers always have an unusually keen sense of plainclothes police.
Similarly, she thought the police should also be very sensitive to the scent of professional killers...
Realizing that three people were looking at them at the same time, Lin Xi couldn't help but want to cover his face.
What? Is it necessary to connect this branch line?
Yamato Gansuke frowned.
...a cop?
Normal citizens would not call the police that.
Among the three people, one wore black goggles and had dyed gray hair. He looked young but very old. The woman next to him had an impatient look on her face. She had dyed brown-red short hair and a conspicuous butterfly tattoo at the corner of her eye.
The girl in front of the two of them and closest to them had obvious foreign features, with red curly hair tied into a ponytail, and her green eyes were looking into the distance, pouting as if she was looking at the scenery - isn't this an obvious escape?
Well, Yamato Gansuke admits that he looks fierce, but it’s not to the point that he’s too scared to even look at him, right?
However, after seeing the girl, the slight doubt that had arisen in Yamato Gansuke's heart disappeared.
Because she looked too young, almost like a junior high school student; and no killer would carry a cat while performing a mission.
Look at the hair, look at the tattoos...I guess they are a group of bad boys called bosozoku.
Uehara Yui, who was behind them, stepped forward and asked the three people, "Hello, are you three tourists here to climb the mountain?"
Chianti: "Hey, hey, what's wrong with you——"
"Ahahaha, yes yes!"
Lin Xi jumped up and held Uehara Yui's hand, interrupting Chianti's words.
"Hello, my name is Shibahara... Shibahara Saki. Nice to meet you. We're here to hike!"
Lin Xi finished speaking very quickly and winked at Chianti and Cohen.
Please don't say anything too offensive! It's too obvious!
Uehara Yui:......
Doesn't this lady feel that her current behavior makes her more suspicious?
She shook hands with Lin Xi hesitantly.
Yamato Gansuke didn't want to waste time, so he took out his police ID and a few photos and asked them, "We are police officers from the Nagano Prefecture Investigation Division 1. May I ask if you have met these three people?"
Lin Xi took a cooperative look and then said honestly, "No. We just climbed up and were just about to rest here for a while... Uh, what did they do?"
Yamato Gansuke and Zhufu Takaaki looked at each other.
Yamato Gansuke (turning his head): You talk to her, Zhufu.
Zhu Fu Gao Ming (smiling):?
Yamato Gansuke (looking up at the sky): You look quite gentle...
Uehara Yui (looking over): Why not me?
Yamato Gansuke (eyes shifted): It's obvious that she is more interested in Morobushi... She was just peeking at Morobushi.
Morobushi Takaaki then explained, "These guys are treasure hunters, specializing in finding, reselling, and stealing treasure. The police have been pursuing them, but they're roaming all over Japan, making them difficult to track down. Recently, there were witnesses who saw them on Mount Harutsuki. Since you three are hiking, you might have encountered them along the way, so we're asking you guys for clues."
"Treasure Hunter?"
Zhu Fu Gaoming clearly felt that the girl's eyes in front of him lit up.
Treasure Hunter + Mountain with Few Tourists = Treasure Hidden in the Mountains!
Treasures hidden in the mountains + the set of Conan the Detective Conan = mechanisms, secret passages, dark rooms, and adventure!
Lin Xi: She has accepted this side quest!
Zhu Fu Gaoming: ...
These two...bosozoku, I hope they can keep this minor under control and stop her from running around...
Her interest in the treasure was almost overflowing from her eyes.
"They have guns." Zhu Fu Gaoming emphasized.
"Oh." Lin Xi nodded.
"...They are very dangerous prisoners."
"Yeah." Lin Xi nodded.
Zhu Fu Gaoming looked helplessly at the two adults behind her.
I saw that the eyes of the two adults were also shining brightly at this time, and their eyes were full of eagerness to try.
Zhu Fu Gao Ming:?
What's going on? You're not scared at all, are you?
Even if you are a biker gang, you should have some respect for dangerous criminals with guns!
Zhu Fu Gaoming was silent for a moment, then asked Lin Xi, "Has Miss Shibahara known me before?"
Lin Xi: "Hmm...ah, no, I don't know him!"
Oops, I was just thinking about the treasure and answered subconsciously...
Yamato Gansuke and Uehara Yui raised their eyebrows together.
So suspicious.
Lin Xi: No, no, no, I really don’t know you, it’s just that you look a lot like someone I know…
If you say that, Chianti and Cohen will definitely notice it!
Baa, baa.
"Ahaha, sorry, I really don't know this officer," Lin Xi said, scratching his head. "It's just because he's so handsome that I couldn't help but take a few more glances... My apologies."
lie.
Zhu Fu Gaoming came to a conclusion in his heart.
He can't tell the difference between a woman's admiring look at a man and her surprised, evasive look.
This person clearly knew him, but didn't want to say...why?
He didn't pursue them, but simply said, "Thank you for your cooperation. Qingyue Mountain has beautiful scenery, so I won't disturb you."
As for the girl's previous comment about "very beautiful", he pretended not to hear it - she was obviously talking nonsense in a serious manner when she made the comment, and she was more interested in the treasure hunter than in him.
