afternoon.
Nagano Prefecture, House of Hope.
Hoshino Sora crossed the ocean and rushed to Nagano Prefecture. Then he asked people about it and found the House of Hope in a forest.
However, the locals no longer call it that. The middle-aged uncle who was inquired about by Hoshino Sora changed his face when he heard the name 'House of Hope' and repeatedly discouraged him from going there.
"That is an ominous place, and it has now become a house of death without any hope! Young man, please don't live there for cheap!"
Hoshino Sora looked at the two-story villa standing deep in the forest. The villa looked a bit old, but it was quite impressive, but it was still not as good as Renya Karasuma's Twilight House. Read the book
"There should be no gold hidden in the building... But I can't say for sure. The name is the House of Hope. For most people, having money means having hope, and this villa is also built in a deep mountain and old forest..."
Seeing two police handles at the front door, Hoshino Sora rolled his eyes, went around to the back, and quietly scraped a little of the wall here and there. Finally, he smiled to himself: "What were I expecting? Damn, I was rude. Bang and the others are infected, and they always want to pick up some leaks..."
Immediately, he called his uncle and asked about it. When he learned that he was still on the way, he walked around in the forest, picked up some ingredients, and started cooking slowly outside the House of Hope on the side of the road that he must pass. Had a barbecue.
After a long time, Maori and his party, led by Yamato Gansuke and Uehara Yui, finally arrived at their destination after a bumpy journey.
Uehara Yui, who was driving, saw Hoshino Sora on the side of the road, was stunned for a moment, and then stopped the car.
Mouri Kogoro who was behind saw the car in front of him stop, so he stopped too, and complained: "We've finally arrived. Really, it's a shame that I borrowed such a good sports car, but in the end they took me on a trip like this." Broken roads in the mountains..."
"Uncle, you are really hardcore. Brother Akong will thank you." Conan grinned and falsely complimented.
"We can definitely take Officer Yamato's car..." Xiaolan muttered.
"Get off the bus!" Mouri Kogoro decisively changed the subject.
As soon as everyone got out of the car, there was a burst of fragrance.
Mouri Kogoro sniffed hard, feeling relieved from the bumpy journey and feeling refreshed, "It smells so good! Finally something to eat! I was in such a hurry to go out this time, I didn't even have time to taste the peony cake... …”
"Isn't that Kong?" Xiaolan ran up happily.
In front, Uehara Yui and Yamato Gansuke looked at Hoshino Sora having a barbecue on the roadside, their mouths twitched, and they were stunned for a while before getting out of the car.
"Akong! You're actually having a barbecue here! Are you traveling around here?" Kogoro Mouri walked over and stared at a roasted, crispy and oily rabbit. He couldn't help but gulp down his saliva, and his stomach couldn't live up to expectations. cried.
"Haha, it's almost the same. Come on, uncle, I've specially reserved it for you. You can share it." Hoshino Sora picked up the branch with the rabbit on it and handed it to Mouri Kogoro.
Mouri Kogoro blew the rabbit legs, then quickly tore off two legs and stuffed them into Xiaolan and Conan respectively. Then he gnawed the remaining rabbit meat wildly, exhaling and shouting "It's hot" while biting. scald.
"I said... I didn't invite you to the barbecue..." Yamato Kansuke limped over with a dark face.
"Hey, Officer Yamato, yo... isn't this Ms. Yui from the Torada family?" Sora Hoshino greeted the duo who came forward.
"Which, actually, I have left the Torada family and returned to work at the police station. I also changed my surname back to my original name. Now my name is Uehara Yui." Uehara Yui explained with a smile.
"Left...ah, I understand. In other words, you had a flash marriage and now you are remarrying to Police Officer Yamato, right?" Hoshino Sora suddenly realized, and then looked the two of them up and down, and shook his head. , "It seems that you are not happily married. You must have suffered domestic violence. The bruises on your left eye are still there. However, Officer Yamato also suffered a head injury and is still wearing a bandage, but you don't look like enemies to each other. It looks like... So, is this domestic violence? Or is it fun?"
The Maori trio all showed gossipy eyes and acted as melon-eaters, and the rabbit meat became more delicious.
Sure enough, barbecue and gossip are a perfect match.
"Hey, hey, hey, what are you talking about?" Yamato stabbed the cane on the ground hard, making a banging sound. His face turned red and his neck thickened, and he spat out excited saliva, "Believe it or not, I'll smash it. Got your stall!"
Uehara Yui also blushed and explained hurriedly: "No, it's not what you think. We haven't arrived yet... Oh, the reason why we were injured was when we arrested the prisoner. Don't think about it. so many!"
"I did it when I was catching the criminal..." Hoshino Sora smacked his lips, "It was so careless~"
Yamato Gansuke said with a dark face, "Stop talking about these irrelevant things, we are going in to investigate the case now, you..."
Hoshino Sora turned on the devouring mode, and finished half of the remaining chicken in two or two bites, not even sparing the bones. Then he quickly destroyed a few skewers of grilled cicadas, and at the same time passed them to Yamato Gansuke and Uehara Yui. "You guys also want to join in..."
Yamato Gansuke's mouth twitched, turned around, and shouted: "Eat quickly!"
Uehara Yui took a closer look and shook her head, "I don't dare to eat this."
"Although it's not as crispy as deep-fried food, it still tastes better than eating it raw. It's crunchy and sweet when chewed, and it feels like one bite can last a whole summer~" Sora Hoshino said with a smile.
Everyone: "..."
