Chapter 166 Tomorrow's Bloom

"Camping! Camping! Let's go camping today too - let's go camping tomorrow too -"

The child's clear voice circled in the car, and then floated out of the window. Conan Edogawa's mouth twitched when he heard it. He sat paralyzed in the car, his shoulders and arms still retaining the pain left by yesterday's severe training program of Suemitsu Sosuke.

The temperature in late April was gradually approaching the hottest point. The boy bit the straw and drank the last bit of orange juice in the box of drinks. He was drowsy because of the extra-strong sun in the cloudless sky on the weekend.

Suemitsu Sosuke's training program has always been to work six days and rest one day, and today is a rare day off. So... why on earth did I agree to go camping at this time? I should have stayed at home and finished reading all the mystery novels that I haven't had time to read. Looking at the noisy children next to him, Conan Edogawa couldn't help but complain in his heart.

"Really... wouldn't it be nice to stay at the professor's house in this weather?"

"Oh? Really?" Next to the boy, Haibara Ai, who had turned her head to look at the scenery outside the window, heard his murmurs, turned around and asked back, "I remember it seemed like it was a big detective. I heard that he was taking us out, so I immediately dropped my book and followed him."

"I was..." Conan Edogawa, who was exposed, scratched his hair, which was already covered with aho-hair, and glanced at the driver's seat as the brown-haired girl spoke.

The black-haired man was looking at the car seriously, occasionally responding to Kojima Genta who was eating snacks in the passenger seat, with a faint smile in his cherry-pink eyes, and he didn't seem to hear the conversation between the two people behind him.

"...Of course I'm worried, after all..."

Because of this explanation, the two people thought of something at the same time, and the slightly teasing expressions on their faces faded.

Edogawa Conan lowered his eyes. After all, he was probably the only one outside the ward who heard him whispering Asuka Kiri's name. After the "picnic", he had been worried about Tsukiyama Asari's condition, but he didn't seem to find anything unusual.

Or rather, this brother who had been with the white-haired boy for more than ten years even walked out at a speed that made others a little unbelievable, at least on the surface.

"I think so." Huihara Ai turned her head to the window again. This place is almost far away from the city center. Looking out, she saw green everywhere. "Your brother is not a fragile person."

"Yeah..." The boy replied casually, but the doubt in his eyes did not disappear.

Tsukiyama Asari gave people the feeling of an eternally gentle sea, broad and bottomless. No matter how many negative emotions were thrown into it, they would disappear without a trace, but... those things were eventually thrown into the sea. Who knows that they sank deep in the sea that others could not see, and quietly changed something.

Edogawa Conan looked at each other seriously again. The place at the front of the car where the car aromatherapy should have been placed has become a small transparent vase fixed on the bottom of the car. The material is not visible. There are a few wilted flowers in it. They look like they have been there for a few days.

They were given by Hagiwara Kenji. On the day of the picnic, they carefully looked for the species of flowers that were taken away by the white bird. In the end, they found that they were just wild flowers that they couldn't even name. They were a bunch of flowers that Mao Lilan saw lying alone on the ground after being dug out of the soil by some unknown small animal. She simply picked them up and put them in the picnic basket.

So the man with half-long hair looked around and brought back some seeds. He also cleared a space on the balcony that had been empty for a long time and was usually used only for drying clothes, and scattered the seeds carefully.

But this police officer probably completely forgot why he never planted flowers at home. He never arranged his working hours by himself. When he encountered the season when perverted bombers emerged in an endless stream, he even slept in the office. Just after Kenji Hagiwara happily took pictures of the little seedlings that had grown and showed them off everywhere, he was called back to the Metropolitan Police Department. Who knew that he would be gone for a week.

Unexpectedly, after finally returning, the flowers that he thought would die had already grown up like a miracle, and even produced small buds. The man, who was covered in dust and had not taken a bath for who knows how long, squatted on the balcony with his hair tied up and laughed dumbly. Then he suddenly remembered that this was not the type that needed to be carefully cultivated.

It was just a wild flower.

A few raindrops that accidentally drifted into the balcony, and the unwarm sun can make it sprout quickly, absorbing every bit of nutrition and striving to grow. It is a tenacious thing with strong vitality. But it is also extremely fragile, and will wither if a rabbit that passes by occasionally digs at its roots.

Fortunately, there are no rabbits on his balcony, and no birds that fly away with flowers and never come back. So a month after sowing the seeds, flowers bloomed "all over the mountains" in Kenji Hagiwara's balcony. There

were too many flowers, filling up the space prepared for them, some of them stretched out from the gaps in the fence, and even took root and sprouted in the soil scattered inadvertently in other parts of the balcony with the wind. If they are not pruned, they will probably wither due to lack of soil and nutrients, but if they are pruned, they are hard to bear to throw away. The man with semi-long hair had a headache about these flowers for a long time, and finally came up with a solution. He packed all the pruned flowers and took them to the Polo Cafe.

Amuro Toru helplessly used these to decorate each table, and even the extra ones were placed on the plates as decorations and given to the guests who came to dine. Most of the time, they were given to the high school students who always came and the chattering young detectives, and of course the store manager who often came to the cafe.

The bouquet in the vase in the car now was probably what Tsukiyama Asari got in the cafe two days ago.

Conan Edogawa pulled his wandering thoughts back and took another close look at the man. He really couldn't see anything unusual, so he retracted his gaze.

Just at this moment, his mobile phone vibrated, and the boy quickly took out his mobile phone. A new text message was quietly lying on the screen of the mobile phone.

[Where did you take my lighter again?]

Conan Edogawa's eyebrows jumped, and he subconsciously touched his pocket. There was a relatively hard object in it. It was the metal lighter that a man with dark red eyes often carried with him.

He was about to seriously type something like "I shouldn't smoke", but suddenly he remembered how he, an innocent student who had done nothing, was framed by a glasses cleaner a long time ago, so he quickly deleted the text on his mobile phone and changed the content.

[This time it wasn't me, it should be Mr. Subaru who took it. The signal is poor in the mountains, teacher, I'm going to turn off my phone first!

This time the reply was quick, and when the boy opened it, he saw only six ordinary dots on the interface.

[......]

He could feel Suemitsu Sosuke's speechlessness through the screen. Although he knew that he would be severely punished by the stupid man when he returned, Edogawa Conan still couldn't help laughing for a long time. Before he could suppress the smile on his face, the next email came.

[If he doesn't have it there, you'll have to wait for me to practice more tomorrow.]

Edogawa Conan finally couldn't help but burst out laughing.

Finally I understand why this former SWAT captain likes to play pranks so much, whether it's replacing coffee with peach juice in cute girl packaging or something else, probably because he can't be defeated by fighting alone, but it's really interesting to see his usually serious expression cracked from other aspects.

"Conan's expression is so scary." Yoshida Ayumi couldn't help but say, while saying it, she shrank to the side.

"Yeah... who are you messaging?" Tsuburaya Mitsuhiko also said, he touched his exposed arm and said speechlessly, "I feel a chill,"

"I feel the same way." Haibara Ai responded in her usual tone.

"What do you mean by a chill?!" Conan Edogawa put his phone back into his pocket and turned to them helplessly. He was about to say something else, but he accidentally glanced at the surrounding scenery and swallowed the words he was going to explain.

Isn't this driving too... fast? Speaking of which, they set out very early today, as if Tsukiyama Asari was in a hurry to do something.

After seeing the boy's contemplation appear on the forum, Tsukiyama Asari couldn't help but twitch his lips, and sighed in his heart that this little detective was really sharp.

He is indeed a little rushed now, in general... to save people. But it was a bit strange to go there alone, and he couldn't ask Hagiwara Kenji and the others to go with him. In the end, after searching for a long time, he could only turn his attention to the young detectives who liked to play everywhere.

It was a bit embarrassing to let them be the discoverers of the incident. Tsukiyama coughed lightly inwardly, reached out and touched the tip of his nose, and had already thought about how to lead them to the south of the mountain. The

last picture he saw from the vest was probably there. There was no way to locate it, so he could only go to the first scene to look for some clues.

While the man was thinking, the Q version of Xiao Wu on the system interface had just woken up. He walked over with a toothbrush in his mouth, a head of curly hair, and sleepy eyes, and rolled himself up on the orange plush sofa that the system had somehow obtained, which was very large for a little man.

Tsukiyama Asari switched the interface to the other side. A month ago, a metal medal suddenly appeared on the empty achievement list. It was decorated with the same bronze flowers, stars, birds and boy silhouettes, and there was a line of cursive words below.

[Achievement: The Night When the Stars Disappeared]

This was the first time he received an achievement after tearing the card. Usually, this kind of thing would only appear when he helped everyone to achieve a good ending.

I didn't expect that there would be one for the single-player vest.

'...There is actually an achievement medal.' Tsukiyama Asari said to the little man watching his movements in his mind and on the interface, 'Is this a good ending for you?'

Xiao Wu looked at him, was silent for a while, then reached out and touched the star decoration on the achievement medal, and nodded.

Yueshan Chaoli lowered his eyes, a gentle smile flashed in his eyes. Before he closed the interface, he saw the Q-version man holding a toothbrush and reaching out to the flower on the medal. The black-haired man quickly raised his voice in his mind to stop him, "You can't break off the decoration on the medal!" Xiaowu, who thought that

this flower would be very good as a paint palette when turned over, withdrew his hand with regret, left the interface with a mouthful of toothpaste foam, and went to find the universal system to make an identical paint palette for himself.
