"Speaking of why you should come to Hongzhi Hot Spring, let's start with... eh?"
Mouri Kogoro was just about to use a certain kid living in the office as an example to portray his child-loving personality in front of the media.
Looking sideways, he saw Hattori Heiji holding Conan in a peeing position. Next to them, Ye Gengyi was holding his chin with one hand, looking thoughtful.
Could it be... Mouri Kogoro's face instantly darkened, he took three steps and two steps at a time, came to a few people, and directly punched Ke Da on the head:
"You silly boy! It's okay to just go to the bathroom all the time. This is a hot spring!"
Ye Gengyi: "..."
Hattori Heiji:"……"
Put it this way, it really sounds a bit like...
I'm not, I didn't, I was wronged... Because his left leg was temporarily paralyzed, Conan, who couldn't stand directly in the water, covered his head and wanted to cry without tears.
Tang Yuanxin, who was next to him, was silent for a moment. Considering that he had to rely on the famous detective's interview to soar in the newspaper office, he resisted the urge to scold the child for urinating in the hot spring. After thinking for a moment, he tried to ask questions:
"Um...Mr. Mori, how about I take you to another hot spring to drink beer?"
"Eh? Really?" Mouri Kogoro was a little moved.
"Yeah, of course it's true!"
Yu Yuanxin smiled with a smile on his face: "To be honest, I am a local of Kinosaki. Although the legends at Kono Onsen are not as impressive as those at Kono Onsen, you can enjoy the delicious cold beer after soaking in Gono Onsen. Oh~"
If he could tell the truth while drunk and reveal some 'revealing' content that other media people didn't know anyway, then he would really make a lot of money... He thought secretly.
"Since you are so enthusiastic, I can't refuse," Mouri Kogoro agreed. He turned to Ye Genichi and Hattori Heiji with a smile, "Then I will leave the little devil to you to take care of. In fact, I am here. Before I left, I really wanted to go to Yuzhi Hot Spring to have a look."
"Shouldn't it be the open-air mixed bathing that Mr. Maoli wants to see most?" Ye Gengyi said.
Conan: "..."
Hattori Heiji:"……"
Ah, this...
Mouri Kogoro was also choked. He couldn't think of a way to defend himself for a while, so he had to wink as hard as possible to signal the media reporters nearby not to tarnish his image.
Ye Gengyi nodded slightly, turned around and stared, continuing to observe Conan's legs.
Seeing that the other party had received his signal, Mouri Kogoro quickly skipped the topic with a haha, greeted Tang Yuanxin and left the hot spring room together.
"What, that uncle... likes drinking too much, right?" Hattori Heiji said without interest: "Speaking of which, Brother Sarada, shouldn't we also take a dip in the hot springs?"
"Well, you go and relax." Ye Gengyi reached out and lifted Conan aside, "I have a few more tests that I plan to verify together."
Conan: "..."
Why is it always me who gets hurt, no! It should be why you won’t let me go even if you’re injured!
…
More than half an hour later, Conan walked out of the hot spring room with a complaining face, fully dressed and on crutches.
Before Ye Gengyi left, he did not forget to use the glassware he had prepared in advance to collect a can of hot spring water and put it in the storage compartment.
Although based on current experimental observations alone, the legendary 80% of Hongzhi Hot Spring is really just a legend, Ye Gengyi still plans to use equipment to verify the remaining 20% when he goes back.
"Next, let's go to the foot hot springs," Hattori Heiji suggested. "Although there aren't any famous stories spread there, it certainly won't hurt to take a dip there."
"No... no need," Conan trembled in fright, and directly possessed Yuantai and said: "I'm a little hungry, I'd better go eat something first!"
"If you want to eat..." Hattori Heiji looked at the map in the manual and said, "There seems to be a great snack street near Ichino Onsen. We can go there and have a look."
"Let's go to the snack street."
After soaking in the hot spring, Ye Gengyi also wanted to drink a cup of coffee to replenish the lost water.
The goal is set.
The three of them had just arrived near Ichino Onsen when they saw Haibara Ai, Yoshida Ayumi, Tsuburaya Mitsuhiko and Kojima Motamasa standing at the intersection chatting.
Why are there only four of them?
Conan looked around, leaned over with a cane, and asked, "Where are Sister Xiaolan and Sister Heye?"
"Conan, Saraichi-nii, Heiji-nii..."
After Ayumi Yoshida said hello, she said:
"Sister Heye met someone we knew and asked us to go to the hot springs first, but Sister Xiaolan... we got separated from her halfway."
"Please, what on earth are those two people doing..."
After Hattori Heiji heard this, he raised his forehead and complained, "I didn't expect him to be even more unreliable than that Maori uncle."
"If you are looking for Sister Xiaolan, we just saw her near Liuzhi Hot Spring..."
Mitsuhiko took out his camera and found the photo, then handed it over: "Look, it was taken on the bridge over there."
"Yes, it is indeed Yanagi Hot Spring." Conan took it and looked at it carefully. He suddenly frowned, pointed at the photo and asked, "Misuhiko, do you have any impression of this person?"
On the screen, Mao Lilan seemed to be chasing a little girl who looked 7 or 8 years old, and behind them, a man wearing a hat, sunglasses and a mask was following the two of them furtively.
"Ah, it's him!" Yuantai said immediately upset, "That guy is so annoying. After he knocked me down earlier, instead of apologizing, he ran away. Damn it...my crab-flavored ice cream is just Just licked it!"
"Let me see it too!"
Hattori Heiji took the camera and consciously held it in front of him so that Ye Gengyi could also see the photo.
He is of medium to fat build, and his clothing tends to be masculine. Compared to Shidun beside him, his height is about 170 cm to 173 cm... If this kind of person does not carry a weapon such as a pistol, even two of them will not be able to do anything to the single person. Horned beast girl.
After Ye Gengyi quickly came to a conclusion, he didn't find it strange that this group of people would always be involved in incidents, and suggested:
"Call and ask."
Conan said 'hmm', took out his mobile phone and dialed Mao Lilan's number.
Ten seconds.
Listening to the notification sound coming from the speaker, Conan's expression turned extremely serious for a moment, "...out of reception range."
The little girl has a mysterious person following her. Just thinking about the term 'kidnapping' will automatically pop into her mind, but so far there are no clear clues to confirm this...
Hattori Heiji thought for a moment and was about to suggest whether he should go to the bridge to look for clues first.
Suddenly, the voices of Yuanshan and Ye came from behind:
"Heiji, great, you are here..."
"Hey, hey, I still want to ask, where did you run to just now?" Hattori Heiji said with half-moon eyes.
"Don't talk about that yet, I encountered a very important matter here!"
As Toyama Kazuha spoke, he took out a photo and handed it over, "I just met my father's friend, President Tabuse, and his daughter Hina is missing."
