Chapter 3188 3200 [Grayfield Ai vs. Curacao]
Speaking of Conan and Jiang Xia, Dr. Agasa said regretfully: "Alas, it's a pity that I had a flat tire on the way to Izu, so I didn't make it with them. Jiang Xia suddenly took a new job... But now, it seems that his job has encountered a small problem and has been forced to suspend it. This means that we can finally go on vacation together!"
Haibara Ai lowered her head and looked at the news on her mobile phone, her eyes twitching slightly: "..." Two people died, and one was half dead... Is that a "small situation"?
The three kids from the Junior Detective Team: "..." It's okay to meet up with Conan, but why meet up with Brother Jiang Xia? If they had told me that Brother Jiang Xia was also here, they wouldn't have come! ...Oh my God, can I have another flat tire, or, or let Brother Jiang Xia have a flat tire!
Amid the three children's desperate prayers, Dr. Agasa's little beetle crossed the winding mountain road and stopped in front of a mountain hotel in Chiba Prefecture.
…
at the same time.
Another car also drove from the direction of the airport, drove from the other side of the path to the same hotel and stopped in the parking lot.
Curacao pulled the handbrake and took a look around as usual before getting out of the car.
Soon, her eyes fell on the other side of the parking lot - there was a cute yellow Beetle sedan parked there, and several children carrying small backpacks jumped out of the car and were huddled together, chattering about something.
Looking at these lively and cute little lives, Curacao's expression, which had been tense for a long time, relaxed slightly. However, the next moment, she suddenly frowned: "..." Is it an illusion? Why do I feel that these children are... a little familiar?
Just as I was trying to look over their hat brims to see the faces of these children, at this moment, an old doctor with a big belly and half bald hair got out of the car and said something to the children.
Curacao looked at this highly recognizable adult, and the smile on his lips completely froze: "..."
Two seconds later, a car that had just stopped started on the spot, reversed smoothly, turned smoothly, drove out of the gate smoothly, and rushed away into the distance.
…
The vehicles came and went like the wind and disappeared into the horizon.
In the yellow Beetle sedan, a little girl who had just finished reading the news carefully yawned tiredly and walked out of the car.
Huiyuan Ai closed the car door with her backhand, rubbed her eyes and looked around: "..." Was it an illusion? I always felt that there seemed to be the presence of the Black Organization just now... Could it be that Jiang Xia has arrived?
"Ai-chan? What are you daydreaming about?" Dr. Agasa waved at her, "Go put down your luggage first."
Huiyuan responded sadly and looked around. She walked towards the hotel with Professor Agasa and several other children, and asked, "Has Jiang Xia arrived?"
"Not yet." Dr. Agasa looked at his watch, and then continued as the other three children's eyes lit up, "But it should be soon."
"..."The light in the eyes of the three elementary school students suddenly went out.
…
The wait was not too long. As soon as the five people put their luggage upstairs and returned to the lobby, a taxi slowly drove into the parking lot and stopped.
Haibara Ai looked out through the floor-to-ceiling window and saw Jiang Xia getting out of the car carrying her luggage.
She felt relieved at first, but then frowned in fear: If Jiang Xia just arrived now, then where did the organizational aura that she just felt come from?
"I didn't sense a similar aura when I was going up and down the stairs just now." Huihara Ai took a sip of coffee and thought seriously, "Could it be... that I heard that Jiang Xia was coming and had a similar illusion, just like when you mention sour plums, you start to drool?"
After thinking about it, it seemed that this was the only reason. After all, thinking back carefully, the aura she felt just now was very illusory, it came quickly and disappeared even faster - if it was emitted by a real person, it couldn't be that some idle member of the organization came and left, that would be too strange.
Thinking of this, Huiyuan Ai temporarily put her mind at ease. She put down her coffee cup and went to greet the group of people who had just entered the room.
…
"Why are there only a few of you?"
Everyone sat down at the largest dining table. It was not yet time for dinner, so they just ordered some drinks and light meals to fill their stomachs.
Dr. Agasa looked at the neighbors in front of him and asked in confusion: "I heard that Mori is with you, and there is also Hattori from Osaka."
Mao Lilan heard him mention her unreliable father and shook her head speechlessly: "Miss Yoko happened to have a concert in Chiba, and he ran over to attend it."
When Conan heard him mention Hattori Heiji, he also sighed: "Hattori... Hattori encountered some problems and was very depressed. He returned to Osaka and shut himself in."
He was actually a bit autistic - if they hadn't paralyzed the yellow-haired man, then even if the burly second-captain could kill him by force, it would definitely take a lot of effort. Maybe while they were fighting, others would arrive and avoid the tragedy.
But now that things have come to this, it is too late to regret. Conan can only try his best to learn from the lesson and then find something to do to relieve his equally depressed mood.
Thinking of this, he picked up the flyer on the table and looked at it: "Does dinner have matsutake?"
"That's right! And it's freshly picked matsutake mushrooms." The waitress just brought the food and introduced it with a smile:
"Our generation is rich in matsutake mushrooms, and there is a special area for guests to pick them. A special car will take you there in a while, and the matsutake mushrooms you pick will be used in tonight's dinner."
"Wow!" The three children couldn't help but let out their anticipatory sounds: being able to eat fresh ingredients picked by themselves is already very exciting, not to mention that the ingredients this time are the precious and less commonly eaten Matsutake.
They immediately lost interest in the snacks on the table and wanted to pull Dr. Agasa to take everyone over quickly... However, they glanced at Jiang Xia next to them, and the three elementary school students were silent for a moment. In the end, they did not dare to take action. They just stared at Dr. Agasa silently with their big eyes full of expectation, hoping that this temporary guardian could hear their inner voices.
Although Dr. Agasa didn't hear anything, he couldn't ignore their sharp gazes.
Thinking of the time wasted on the road, he scratched his head and said, "Well, now that we are all here, let's go pick some matsutake mushrooms - the sooner we pick them, the easier it will be for us to have dinner."
“Yeah!!”
The three children cheered briefly, then quickly stopped before disturbing the other guests.
…
Soon, the hotel's van set off with everyone and arrived at the Matsutake picking site.
