Chapter 2265 2277 [Bourbon's Gift]
He did what he said. The next day, Jiang Xia went to Amuro Toru to talk about borrowing a tent.
"Are you going camping with those kids?" Toru Amuro first wanted to follow them out of habit, but then he remembered something important.
He cleared his throat and asked casually, "Where is the camping site?"
Jiang Xia said expectantly, "It's in the suburbs of Tokyo, very close."
Toru Amuro: “…” Suburbs?
It sounds not far, but it would take nearly an hour by car. And this is just a normal situation. If it is at the speed he and Jiang Xia left Tokyo last time...
Toru Amuro: “…” Actually, if you think about it carefully, Akai Shuichi had just caused such a big fuss not long ago. With his vigilance, he will definitely not continue to follow Jiang Xia recently.
No one knew where the suspicious woman from the FBI was. Without these two people, Wu Zuo would reduce his efforts accordingly. It seemed that there was no need for him to continue to follow Jiang Xia. Rather than wasting time on this matter, it would be better to finish the task at hand first.
After quickly organizing his thoughts, Amuro Toru calmed down: "Okay, be safe."
Then he hung up the phone.
On the other side of the phone, Jiang Xia looked at the darkened screen: "......?"
That’s it?
Shouldn't you say with interest, "That sounds interesting, take me with you"?
"...My boss is becoming more and more of a homebody." Jiang Xia sighed and put away his phone. "I have to find a way to make him change."
…
Anyway, the tent that was suspected to be involved in the incident was borrowed.
Jiang Xia told the situation to Haibara Ai and Dr. Agasa and arranged the itinerary.
The departure day soon arrived. Dr. Agasa drove his rented van, loaded it with a barbecue grill and a tent, and happily took a group of people to the suburbs for a meal.
——At the suggestion of Haibara Ai, he first picked up a few children from the Junior Detective League, and then went to the detective agency to pick up Jiang Xia.
The laughing and cheerful young detective team paused when they saw someone suddenly get on the bus: "..."
Yoshida Ayumi: "..."
Genta Kojima: "..."
Mitsuhiko Tsuburaya: "..."
...The cunning doctor actually used a trap on the child!
...But now that they were here, they didn't dare jump out of the car and run away in front of Jiang Xia. The few jumping kids had to restrain themselves instantly and sit upright in their seats, even more obedient than when they were being watched by the teacher during the spring outing - after all, their gentle teacher Kobayashi would not swing a stick to hit them.
Haibara Ai, who was annoyed by the noise of the three children, secretly breathed a sigh of relief, enjoying the rare silence, and leaned back in her seat comfortably: although the children are cute, when there are too many of them, the sonic attacks they produce are inevitably unbearable. When going out with the Junior Detective Team, Jiang Xia must be brought along, so that it can be balanced.
At this moment, Haibara Ai belatedly realized that something was missing.
She turned around and counted the number of people in the car, then counted again, and suddenly realized: "Edogawa didn't come?"
Although that fake kid often skips the team-building activities of the Junior Detective League, she thought Conan would come and join in the fun this time since Jiang Xia was there.
Yoshida Ayumi heard Haibara Ai's question, looked at Jiang Xia who was also listening, and quietly raised her hand to report: "Conan has been acting mysterious these past two days. He disappeared as soon as the get out of class was over."
Mitsuhiko Tsuburaya quickly added: "He was heading towards Rentaro's house. He seemed to still think that Uncle Kamekura was very suspicious, so he wanted to investigate on his own. We once wanted to follow him... well, we once wanted to help you monitor him, but he got rid of us."
Jiang Xia nodded without any surprise.
The three children looked at him expectantly.
Jiang Xia looked at them for a moment, as if he understood something. He sighed, "Conan is really too naughty. This is not good."
The Young Detectives nodded vigorously: It was Conan who reported them every time, and now it’s finally their turn to get revenge!
...It's a pity that Conan is not here, so I can't appreciate his current expression.
The three children felt guilty at one moment and happy at another. As they struggled, the scenery outside the car window kept passing by. There were fewer and fewer buildings around, and the view was getting wider and wider.
Finally, when Haibara Ai couldn't help but start to doze off, they arrived at the camping site they had previously selected.
Dr. Agasa got out of the car and took a breath of fresh air: "How about this place? It's nice, isn't it?"
Jiang Xia nodded, opened the trunk, moved various tools down, and set up the tent.
The three children also hurried to help, but they still didn't dare to go to Jiang Xia. After watching for a while, the three of them ran to Dr. Agasa and helped him deal with the barbecue grill that had some burnt marks.
Ai Huihara walked to Jiang Xia and helped him set up the tent.
She put together a section of the support and picked up a piece of tent cloth with disdain: "..." I don't know if it's an illusion, but I always feel that this thing seems to have an organized aura, just as scary as the mixed-race boss in Jiang Xia...
In any case, as a scientist whose mental state is almost that of an adult, Haibara Ai ultimately did not take these metaphysical theories to heart, and quickly set up the tent with Jiang Xia.
"Done." Dr. Agasa also assembled the barbecue grill. He stood up and clapped his hands. "Next, we'll light a stove, and then we can start eating. Oh, we need to collect some firewood first."
Although there are more convenient gas tanks, when taking children out to play, of course you should try to experience the authentic camping life.
When the three children heard that there was a chance to leave and go out to play, they immediately said, "Leave the firewood collection to us!"
Huiyuan Ai opened a box of ingredients and nodded as she processed them: "Remember to try to pick dry branches, such as..."
She originally wanted to say, such as those that are far away from the ground, but after looking at the average height of the three children, she was silent for a moment and changed her words: "For example, those that are not so wet." As long as they are not wet and dripping, it will be fine. Anyway, they brought charcoal and gas tanks.
The Young Detectives: "..." Try to be dry, not too wet? I always feel like Ai said something nonsense... But never mind, she's so cute after all.
The three children didn't care about these details and ran out happily.
“The barbecue is really good.”
In the woods, while Kojima Genta was collecting firewood, he could already imagine the aroma of gravy filling his mouth: "I saw that Ai also brought seafood, there was even eel!"
After wiping his saliva, he suddenly remembered something and paused: "I almost forgot that Brother Jiang Xia is also here to camp...Good kids eat in a very polite manner, right?"
"Maybe." Mitsuhiko Tsuburaya tried hard to guess Jiang Xia's moral standards.
Suddenly, his eyes paused and fell on the hill far below: "Look at that sneaky man... Does he look like Conan?"
