In the end, it was the good old man in their team, Riguo, who came downstairs and comforted Ichikawa. When he came back, he apologized to Kuroki Ren and Mao Lilan.
"I don't have anything to do with it..." It was just a joke. Xiaolan recalled the various kidnapping incidents before and felt that this was nothing.
"There are not enough rooms in the house. First of all, the elderly, children and girls. Can you make a bunk on the ground floor on the first floor?"
"Of course, of course." Hinata agreed quickly, "I'm really sorry for causing you so much trouble."
"It's okay." Kuroki Jin shook his head, put away his belongings, and looked at the phone again, "It seems that there is no signal because of the rain. I hope it won't rain too much."
"Brother Ren..." Genta Kojima came to Kuroki Ren quietly, "Do you have anything to eat here? We only had lunch and went hiking in the afternoon. We are so hungry now..."
Dr. A Li smiled awkwardly, "I didn't expect it to rain today. I thought I would go for a walk in the afternoon after lunch and then stay in the village for one night, so I didn't bring so much food..."
Kuroki Jin scratched his head, "We have prepared some food here," and then turned to look at Hinata, "Do you need it?"
"Ah... we actually brought instant food..." Hinata replied subconsciously, then he caught a glimpse of something and changed the subject, "If it's not too much trouble, we can also help."
"I need help. I can't handle this with so many people."
Except for Kuroki Ren, those who knew how to cook on both sides entered the kitchen and prepared to attack. Needless to say, people who know each other here, Xiaolan and Haibara Ai are here. The latter accidentally glanced at Kuromu Ren who was subconsciously looking at her when he entered the kitchen. In the end, it was Kuromu Ren who turned unnaturally. Moved his head.
"Then Xiao Ai and I will be responsible for cooking curry." Mao Lilan didn't notice anything unusual and took over the work.
As for the mountaineering team, what Kuroki Jin didn't expect was that the ones who could cook were actually the frail Kitaniharaji and the always low-key Noriko Misu.
"Then let's make some soup and stir-fries. As for the staple food, I'll leave it to Mr. Kuroki."
"okay."
After getting started, it can be seen that everyone present can cook, and others can say it is okay. Misu Noriko is very surprised that a little child like Haibara Ai can be so skilled.
"You usually help your parents at home, right?" In her spare time, Noriko Misu asked with a smile.
"I have no parents." Haiyuan Ai has always been very indifferent to people he doesn't know well. "I have been staying at my grandpa's house. In order to help him control his weight and blood pressure, I learned to cook for myself."
Kuroki Ren, who was heating instant food, shook his hand slightly.
"Huh? Isn't Xiao Ai a distant relative of the doctor?" Mao Lilan asked in surprise, "I remember Conan said..."
"Ah, if you think about it, Edogawa and I should be half-siblings."
"Ahem." Kuroki couldn't help but choked. He didn't need to look back to know that Haihara Ai had said this to him on purpose.
When he first met her, Kuroki asked the same question out of curiosity and got the same answer.
"I'm going to set the table." Kuroki Ren took some cans from the refrigerator and went out, "When you're done, just take them out."
Kuroki Ren went out in a slightly embarrassed manner. He had already covered the pot and just had to wait for the curry to be ready. Mao Lilan, who was now somewhat free, squatted down and asked Haiyuan curiously:
"Does it feel like Mr. Kuroki ran away just now?"
"Who knows him?" Hui Yuan Ai replied subconsciously, then pursed his lips and said, "The curry is ready."
"Okay, I'll serve it."
Mao Lilan smiled softly, and Haiyuan Ai looked sideways at her going out, lowering his eyes slightly.
After that day, Conan relayed to her why Mao Lilan was there at that time: She saw the photos of her and Conan posted all over Judy's house, and she followed her to check with suspicion. And when she came out of the carriage, she heard gunshots and felt that she was in danger as she was being taken away.
At that time, Conan was dressed as Haiyuan and got into Judy's car. Mao Lilan also heard Haiyuan's voice when she was in a daze due to lack of oxygen in the trunk for too long.
Haihara Ai knew that she could no longer refuse this kind girl's kindness.
"Kid, can you let your sister go out too?"
Haibara Ai was interrupted from her thoughts by the voice behind her, and subconsciously turned sideways to let Noriko Misu out. Then she turned around and saw Kitaniharaji who was also watching her go out.
Hui Yuan Ai was slightly startled.
The seats at the dining table are clearly divided. On Kuroki Ren's left side is the mountaineering team, and on the right side are Mouri, the doctor, and others. No one is next to each other on either side.
He looked at the food on the table and gave a warm reminder: "There is not a lot of food here. If the rain doesn't stop tomorrow, we may run out of food."
"Speaking of this," Conan interrupted Kuroki Jin, "Brother Jin...well, why are you here?"
"Yes, yes, we also went to the candy house to find brother Ren. Brother Chengshi told us that you won't be going there for a while because of something."
Ayumi showed a huge disappointed expression, "I originally wanted to go out for an outing with Brother Ren."
"Sorry," to the disappointment of the child, Kuroki Ren magically conjured a handful of candies, "I just wanted to find a place to be quiet. I didn't expect you to come looking for me."
Haiyuan Ai glanced at him without saying anything. Conan had a deceitful expression on his face.
Even if we didn't expect that the Young Detective Team would go looking for him, how could we expect that he and Haibara would go?
It was true as Haibara said, Kuroki Jin might be avoiding them on purpose.
"So this is Brother Ren's home?" Yuantai showed a drooling expression, "Brother Ren, does he make money by opening a candy store..."
Kuroki Ren: "..."
"Tch, it turns out he's a shabby shop owner."
Before Kuroki Jin could figure out how to tell Genta that opening a candy store was actually not that profitable, he heard a loud voice coming from the side.
"Hey, Ichikawa..."
"I'm full. The room at the end of the stairs is mine." Ichikawa threw his chopsticks and turned around to leave regardless of whether others agreed.
"Wait a minute, Ichikawa, didn't we agree just now? The rooms will be reserved for the elderly, children and girls..."
Ichikawa found his hiking bag impatiently, took out his wallet from it, randomly picked up two chapters of Fukuzawa Yukichi and threw them on the table.
"That's enough, your meal and one night's accommodation." He curled his lips, picked up his bag and walked upstairs.
"Hello--"
The good-tempered Hinata was a little annoyed by his attitude, so she stood up and chased after him.
As for the remaining members of the mountaineering team, Kitani has always been timid and rarely spoke. The two girls did not dare to say anything to Ichikawa. The remaining boy named Marui had an indifferent look on his face and did not seem to think there was anything wrong with Ichikawa's actions. wrong.
On the contrary, the children of the Junior Detective Team looked angry, and Genta even shouted loudly: "Who is this!"
"Mr. Kuroki..." Mao Lilan looked at Kuromu Ren's face and was surprised to find that he didn't seem to have any unswerving expression.
"It doesn't matter." Kuroki Jin picked up the two sheets of Fukuzawa Yukichi and flicked them gently with his hand. "I did the calculations. There is one room for Sansu and Caita, one room for Miss Lan and Conan, one room for Ayumi and Xiaoai, and one room for Yuan One room for Tai and Mitsuhiko, plus Dr. Agasa, a total of five rooms are needed.”
"There are a total of seven rooms here, and I originally planned to let you use another one."
Kuroki Jin put Fukuzawa Yukichi away, smiled and said: "But I originally wanted to give the room to Mr. Kitani who is not in good health. You may need to coordinate on your own."
"Ten...thank you very much..." Mugu thanked in a low voice.
Isamu Marui on the side muttered in an inaudible voice:
"You didn't say that because Ichikawa gave me money."
