Chapter 3190 3202 [Tell the secret] Ask for monthly ticket ()
"So, this mushroom can't be eaten?" Kojima Genta listened attentively for a while and came to a conclusion. He sat down on the ground in disappointment, "What should we do? We don't have any clues. If we still can't find the matsutake by dinner time, will we starve?"
Dr. Agasa laughed and said, "That's not the case. At most, there is no matsutake to eat." - In fact, you can also buy some at the store. The store must have matsutake in stock. But saying this now will only affect the children's exploration experience, so Dr. Agasa did not tell the truth and stopped halfway through.
Sure enough, the three real kids were disappointed: We came here specially to eat Matsutake mushrooms. If we can’t eat it, what’s the point of this trip?
Conan looked at this group of listless classmates, and it seemed as if he saw himself making a mistake in fishing not long ago.
He sighed and gave a friendly reminder: "Look around carefully - most of the pine leaves are still green, but some have turned yellow-green.
“Matsutake mushrooms usually grow at the roots of red pines, relying on the pine trees for nutrients. Because some of the nutrients are taken away, the pine trees where matsutake mushrooms grow look lifeless.
"In addition, when matsutake mushrooms grow, they have certain requirements for light, drainage and ventilation - as long as we identify these conditions and check them on site..."
"Look!" Conan led the children around and soon stopped under a pine tree. He looked at the roots of the tree and smiled confidently, "Hasn't the criminal been found?"
Suzuki Sonoko, who was taking photos with Mao Lilan not far away: "..."
Suzuki Sonoko put away her camera, looked at Conan who was leading the team to find matsutake, and couldn't help but whisper to Mao Lilan: "This kid is addicted to detective. He even treats picking matsutake as finding a murderer. If this continues, I'm afraid that when I see matsutake at dinner today, those murder scenes will appear in my mind."
Mao Lilan laughed: "It can't be helped. Maybe the children who grew up in our generation have a talent for detectives - just like Shinichi and Jiang Xia. When Conan grows up, he may very well become their successor."
Unlike the two high school girls who were somewhat sensitive to the word "criminal", the elementary school students did not pay attention to these things, but were seriously immersed in the joy of picking matsutake mushrooms.
They went to the place Conan had pointed to, and sure enough, they saw a palm-sized, plain-looking matsutake mushroom growing at the root of the red pine.
Dr. Agasa reached out and picked it off, and exclaimed: "It is indeed a matsutake mushroom straight from the place of origin, so fresh, and of such good quality, you can't usually find it in the supermarket."
Kojima Genta's mouth was almost watering: "It seems that tonight's dinner is settled."
Mitsuhiko Tsuburaya suddenly discovered something. He turned around and pointed to another pine tree: "Look! The pine needles of that tree are also yellow. There must be matsutake mushrooms there!"
"Wow, it's so yellow!" Ayumi Yoshida couldn't wait to run over and experienced the joy of digging for treasure while holding a treasure map.
Suzuki Sonoko looked at them and her childishness was also aroused. She pulled Mao Lilan and said, "Let's go and look for them too. We can't lose to those little devils!"
A group of people separated into twos and threes and started looking for Matsutake mushrooms in the woods.
Seeing this, Huihara Ai pulled Jiang Xia's sleeve and took him to a place where no one was around. Then she squatted down and searched for the pine roots while whispering to him: "Before you came, I vaguely felt that some members of the organization had been to that hotel... But that aura disappeared quickly, and I don't know if it was my illusion."
——She didn’t have much interest in mystery novels and TV dramas before, but ever since she joined Jiang Xia’s fan group using Dr. Agasa’s account, she would always see a group of mystery enthusiasts discussing those things when she browsed the group in her spare time.
People are always easily influenced by the environment. Unconsciously, Haibara Ai has read a lot of similar works. Then she discovered that those occasional flashes of inspiration but unnoticed ideas sometimes seem to become extremely important and fatal clues.
Although novels are novels and reality is reality, some principles are always the same. And since she had nothing to do anyway, after some hesitation, Huiyuan Ai decided to tell Jiang Xia about the abnormality she had just noticed - maybe it would be of some use.
When Jiang Xia heard her words, he sighed in disappointment: He thought Curacao would also stay in this hotel, and then there would be another surprising "encounter"... But now it seems that she has probably left.
Jiang Xia: “…” No wonder I couldn’t find anyone after searching the hotel just now. It turned out that he was scared away by these elementary school students.
If I had known this would happen, I should have stuffed a cat or a child into her car at the airport so that she could have a flat tire at the right time and wait for the vehicle behind to rescue her.
But then again, a confidant of the second-in-command of a mysterious organization was scared away by a few powerless elementary school students. Is there something wrong with this? Curacao is really embarrassing for the Black Organization...
When a fake detective secretly condemned his colleague in his heart.
Next to her, Haibara Ai looked at Jiang Xia's reaction and was briefly confused - no matter whether the feeling just now was real or an illusion, it didn't seem to have anything to do with the emotion of "disappointment", right?
Or was it that Jiang Xia made a friend in the organization, and that friend happened to be coming to visit the nearby area, but they didn't meet, so Jiang Xia felt disappointed?
...But what friends could there be in that organization? Even if there really were any, this kind of meeting method of coming and going was too strange. No matter how I thought about it, the logic didn't seem to make sense.
Her mind was becoming more and more confused, so Huiyuan Ai had to shake her head to get rid of all the weird assumptions and asked directly: "What's wrong?"
Jiang Xia came back to his senses: "Nothing, I just remembered something sad."
Huiyuan Ai: “…”
Well, I almost forgot there was this possibility - Jiang Xia was distracted just now and didn't hear what she said.
As for the distracting content that made him sad...
Haibara Ai thought about it and felt that she understood: when she heard Mouri Ran and Suzuki Sonoko chatting just now, they mentioned the details of the serial murder case in Okinawa, that is, the incident of Hattori Heiji and Conan's accomplices... Although no one pursued it and the matter seemed to have come to an end, Jiang Xia was probably troubled by this matter.
He is such a considerate and kind person.
Thinking of this, Huiyuan Ai reached out her little hand and patted him: "It's not a big problem. The media didn't report the corresponding content. Soon no one will care about it."
Jiang Xia: “……?”
