Chapter 3191 3203 [Remember]
When Jiang Xia and Huibara Ai were chatting.
The other side.
According to the symptoms described by Conan, Genta Kojima looked for several wilted pine trees, but found nothing.
Just as he was feeling worried, he suddenly turned his head inadvertently and saw four or five large and plump matsutake mushrooms growing under a pine tree behind the wire mesh.
"Wow!!"
Kojima Genta's eyes widened as he clung to the wire mesh, staring intently. After a brief hesitation, he stepped on the grid of the wire mesh and climbed up half a meter...
Then, Ayumi Yoshida and Mitsuhiko Tsuburaya came running over, grabbed one of his arms, and pulled him down from the net.
"Are you crazy?!" Yoshida Ayumi was terrified. "Didn't the uncle at the hotel just now tell me that there's a bear on the other side of the wire fence?"
Kojima Genta muttered guiltily, "But look, there are so many matsutake mushrooms there. If we don't pick them, they will all be wasted! - And we have been here for so long just now, have any of you seen any bears? Even if there are bears behind the barbed wire, they are definitely not here now. I will go in and pick them and leave. Nothing will happen!"
"I really didn't see a bear." Mitsuhiko Tsuburaya looked around and lowered his voice like an outlaw making a meeting. "But the uncle at the hotel just now clearly said that we are not allowed to go to the other side of the barbed wire. If you go against his words and climb over... then you are a bad kid who doesn't follow the rules."
Genta Kojima: "!!"
The words "bad boy who doesn't follow the rules" were like a huge hammer, hitting Kojima Genta's triangular rice ball-shaped head with a thud, evoking a lot of not-so-pleasant memories.
Among those memories, some are of Brother Jiang Xia stepping on criminals to the ground and beating them with a baton like a butcher; some are of unruly criminals twisting and struggling, with faces like evil spirits from hell; and some are of the police turning a blind eye to such violence after they arrived, quietly pulling the hems of the prisoners' clothes to cover their skin, and helping medical staff stuff the poor criminals into the car.
Genta Kojima: "..."
Genta Kojima was sweating profusely.
He was only paying attention to the matsutake mushrooms and the bear, but he actually forgot that there is something more terrifying than the invisible and intangible bear!
As Jiang Xia's face appeared in front of him, the strength of the strong elementary school student's struggle quickly weakened - he was obviously bigger than Yoshida Ayumi and Tsuburaya Mitsuhiko combined, but now he was like an empty rice ball, and was dragged away by two classmates to a place far away from the barbed wire to look for matsutake mushrooms.
The messy place became quiet again.
A few minutes later, Suzuki Sonoko walked over from a distance, staring down at the roots of the tree.
——After walking around the area for several times, she couldn’t find a single matsutake mushroom.
"A tree with yellow and wilted leaves, a place with suitable light, ventilation and moisture..." Suzuki Sonoko muttered the secret of finding matsutake mushrooms she had just heard, and walked around to the back of another tree in disbelief.
However, when I looked down, the roots of the red pine tree were also empty, with nothing at all.
"That's weird. It's this kind of tree. How come it's gone?"
A high school girl who failed again scratched her hairpin and muttered to Mao Lilan in confusion: "Could it be that I always hit the head of that glasses kid and was cursed by him, so I can't find the matsutake mushrooms according to his method? - I see those kids can find them accurately every time."
Mao Lilan was amused by her: "How could Conan have the ability to curse people? It must be just a coincidence - if we find a few more trees, we will definitely find it."
"Hmm..." Suzuki Sonoko looked for a few more trees suspiciously, and then her eyes twitched slightly: still nothing.
Listening to the vague cheers coming from a group of elementary school students in the distance, and thinking about the meeting later when everyone would have a handful of matsutake mushrooms in their hands, and only she would be empty-handed... Wouldn't this be admitting that she was a hopelessly unlucky person?
That won't work.
Thinking of this, Suzuki Sonoko rolled up her sleeves and examined the forest carefully with a sharp gaze that had never been seen even during the exam.
Soon, her eyes swept across the sky and locked onto a clump of yellow pine leaves. Then, looking down, four or five plump matsutake mushrooms suddenly appeared before her eyes.
"Wow--!"
Suzuki Sonoko pointed over there excitedly: "Found it! And there are so many of them! - I was saying, how could my luck be that bad."
Mao Lilan looked in the direction she pointed, and was surprised for a moment, but then she discovered something else: "But this tree is on the other side of the barbed wire."
"It's no big deal! Just crawl over it." Suzuki Sonoko happily grabbed the barbed wire.
"Wait!" Mao Lilan was startled and quickly pulled her back, "How can that be possible? There's a bear on the other side!"
"Don't listen to what that staff member said. He must have just been trying to scare the kids and prevent them from getting lost." Suzuki Sonoko waved her hand indifferently.
"I have an uncle who was addicted to hunting a while ago. He told me that you have to be careful of black bears in Nagano Prefecture and Hokkaido, but this is Chiba Prefecture - there may not even be two bears in the entire area. The probability of encountering a black bear in the woods here is less than one in a million."
Mao Lilan was stunned: "Really?"
"Of course it's true. Do you believe me or that staff member?" Suzuki Sonoko grabbed the sparsely gridded wire and quickly climbed to the top. She looked at the matsutake mushrooms in front of her, smiled, and jumped down. Her windbreaker rustled behind her like a hero's cape. "I can't lose to those six or seven-year-old brats!"
"..." Mao Lilan looked at the 17-year-old kid and sighed. She had to push the barbed wire and climb over to the other side, looking at the wind vigilantly.
…
Conan was concentrating on looking for Matsutake mushrooms, but suddenly he turned his head and sneezed.
He rubbed his nose and muttered silently to Jiang Xia, who had just joined him: "I don't know why, but I always have a bad feeling."
As he spoke, he looked around, with a hint of vigilance: "..." Recently, it was vodka, Mr. Yamaguchi who always appeared with him, and Lawyer Shirai...
Conan looked at the matsutake mushrooms on the ground and suddenly had a sense of déjà vu, like mushrooms after rain - it seemed that if he was not careful, a suspicious person suspected to be a member of the Black Organization would suddenly pop up from some corner, approach Jiang Xia with a fake smile, but secretly planning something that would be detrimental to Jiang Xia.
Thinking of this, he turned to look at his classmate who attracted bad guys and sighed sadly.
Jiang Xia: "What's wrong?"
Conan hesitated to speak: "I thought..." He thought that based on the routine of those suspicious people, they would suddenly appear when they were picking matsutake mushrooms and have a "surprise encounter" with Jiang Xia... Fortunately, that didn't happen.
