"Okay, Kudo," Hattori Heiji waved his hand: "After talking so much, I'm almost hungry, so I'd better go out for dinner as soon as possible."
I really don't know what you are here for... Conan silently cursed.
The two chatted in the living room for at least forty or fifty minutes.
When we came to the courtyard again, a variety of vegetarian and meat delicacies were already set out on the dining table. As for drinks, there were juice, beer and a pot of steaming coffee.
"Come on, come on... cheers~"
Mouri Kogoro drank very boldly.
No matter whether the other person's cup is juice or coffee, he will find various reasons to clink glasses in a circular motion.
The crisp clashing sound between glassware continued to echo in the yard.
It wasn't until the eighth bottle of beer was opened without warning that Mao Lilan finally realized something was wrong. He snatched the wine glass from Mao Li Kogoro's hand, replaced it with plain water and warned him not to drink anymore tonight. A certain tool man said this It just calmed down a little.
A group of people gathering for dinner may seem lively, but in fact, without a clear discussion element, it will end up being a conversation between two or three people who share a common topic.
Such as now.
The content of the chat between Mao Lilan, Toyama and Ye was about the recently popular mobile phone pendant style, while Conan and Hattori Heiji listened helplessly to a certain tool man bragging about how brave he was on the highway today.
By the way, Ye Gengyi and Haihara Ai, two people with obviously unique personalities, did not do anything.
They successfully dispelled Dr. Ali's attempt to come up with a 'multifunctional fireworks ice-shaving machine'.
Dinner was at half past nine.
When they were cleaning up the kitchen waste and sorting the garbage, Hattori Heiji seemed to remember something and suddenly asked everyone if they wanted to go to watch the flowers together tomorrow.
Ye Gengyi was not very interested in going out for an outing, but he had heard the conversation between the two through a bug installed indoors, so he simply agreed to the proposal.
Drive a few people to the office and make an appointment to meet tomorrow.
Ye Gengyi returned to 2-chome again and went to the basement to sort out the information.
Haihara Ai helped bring coffee. She had already made it clear that she would not participate in the flower viewing event tomorrow. She planned to continue to solve the problem of APTX-4869 antidote tonight.
If there had not been the previous dinner party, she would have definitely asked Ye Gengyi about the bomb attack on the highway.
But it is a pity that during a meal, it is rare to hear a certain tool person accurately describe his personal experience. Repeating it no less than a dozen times, it is really hard to hear the calluses.
Perhaps the essence of human beings is repeaters...
She thought silently.
…
The next day, after lunch.
Following the falling cherry blossoms, everyone arrived at Shengyue Mountain as promised.
Probably because this is an excellent place for flower viewing. Looking around, in addition to the various stalls lining both sides of the road, there are also a steady stream of people coming from all directions.
Ye Gengyi adjusted the frequency of the hidden earphones and walked within a radius of three meters from Conan and Hattori Heiji. Sometimes he looked at the small commodities on the stalls and sometimes drank a few sips of canned coffee. Also relaxed and casual.
"Excuse me, can you take a photo for us?" At this moment, a voice suddenly came from beside me.
Ye Geng turned his head and saw two girls wearing bathrobes and hair buns, about 17 or 8 years old.
One of them was reaching out and handing his phone to him with an expectant expression on his face.
"Hey, Kudo, look over there...someone is chatting up Sarada-nii!"
As a detective, Hattori Heiji always devotes himself to observing and listening in all directions. At this time, it was as if he had discovered something interesting, and he immediately pulled Conan to share it.
"ah?"
On the other side, Mao Lilan happened to buy a windmill, and she looked so cute while blowing air, which made Conan feel uneasy.
Being forcibly brought back his attention at this time, he subconsciously turned his head and looked behind him. He happened to see Ye Gengyi say "wait a moment" to the two girls who were chatting with him, then turned around to pay and bought something from a stall nearby. A bunch of glutinous rice balls, said without sincerity:
"Sorry, I'm out of hands."
The two girls were immediately petrified on the spot.
Conan silently glanced at a certain black man with a look on his face, 'You're just going to let me see this'?
Hattori Heiji:"……"
I feel so cold too...
Mouri Kogoro also noticed what happened over there, and was about to step forward to have a good chat with Ye Gengyi to ask him not to be so cold.
Suddenly, a slightly hesitant voice came from behind:
"Um...I'm sorry..."
Could it be that it was a chat! ?
"Yes~ I have time~" Mouri Kogoro smiled and turned around.
Then he saw a bald head...and the owner of the bald head was a man.
"As expected, I admitted it correctly. You are the famous detective Mouri Kogoro!" The little bald head's eyes were shining, and there was a hint of urgency in his tone.
"Uh...well, yeah."
The smile on Mouri Kogoro's face disappeared, and his thoughts had successfully transitioned from chatting up to fans...especially when meeting male fans, he said flatly:
"You want to take pictures and sign autographs, right?"
"Ah, no..." The little bald man was startled and quickly explained: "I want to ask you to help me find a corpse."
"Corpse, corpse???"
Mouri Kogoro's face froze, and then he yelled with an angry look on his face: "Hey! Is there any mistake?"
Do you want to be so unlucky?
Why did he find Geng Yi to chat with a young and beautiful girl? Not only was he a bald monk, but his request was also unbelievable.
"Please, it's true. She suddenly disappeared, like a monster causing trouble!"
The little bald head begged: "Meeting a famous detective like you here is definitely a revelation given to me by the Buddha. Please help me solve this mystery, okay!"
"What happened?" Conan and Hattori Heiji ran over.
Started again?
Ye Gengyi felt a little helpless.
In the plan, Hattori Heiji's impetuous character would definitely not be able to bear it until he returned to Osaka in one night. He must have called Police Officer Otaki to investigate the matter of Reina Mizuno and Eiyu Hondo. Originally, he thought that today would be more or less... You can hear something...
"That's him..." Maori Kogoro waited for a moment and saw Ye Gengyi and others coming over. He pointed at the little bald head and said, "What do you mean, you want me to help find a disappeared body."
"Could it be...a killer eucalyptus?" Mao Lilan, Yuan Shan and Ye were surprised.
"No, it can't be said entirely."
The little bald man took a deep breath, and after calming down a little, he turned to look at a building with a protruding tree on the top, "I practice in the temple over there, and the name of the Dharma has been passed down for a long time. A few days ago, a pilgrim came to visit the host. As a result, he suddenly disappeared from the wing..."
"Sudden?"
Conan and Hattori Heiji stared at him, "You don't mean to say that that person disappeared out of thin air under your eyes, do you?"
"No no no..."
The monk who called himself Chuanjiu waved his hands repeatedly, "I clearly remember that she was a female pilgrim with long hair. She stayed in the wing that night, and when I prepared breakfast for her the next day, I saw her lying on the tatami very miserably with a knife in her abdomen..."
"The body disappeared behind?" Ye Gengyi asked.
"Right, that is it."
Chuanjiu nodded anxiously, "I immediately told the host what happened and called the police. When the police arrived at the wing, they found that not only was there no body of the pilgrim inside, but even the blood stains flowing on the tatami were gone. …”
"How could this happen?" Mao Lilan's heart suddenly stopped.
"Where are you hosting? What did he say?" Yuan Shan and Ye asked nervously.
The two girls fully demonstrated what it means to be good and playful at the same time.
"The host said that the pilgrim left early in the morning," Chuanjiu's expression suddenly became a little complicated, "and asked me if I was dreaming..."
"Hey," Mouri Kogoro leaned over with empty eyes, "You are really not awake, are you?"
"No! It's absolutely not wrong!" Chuanjiu thought suddenly and hurriedly said, "I really saw it with my own eyes!"
"Well, we believe you. There is a number here. You should remember it first." Ye Gengyi took out his mobile phone.
"Ah?" Chuanjiu was stunned, and then touched his bald head, "I'm sorry, I...I don't have a mobile phone."
"Heiji, use a piece of paper." Ye Gengyi said.
"oh oh."
Hattori Heiji took out his notepad and handed it over, wondering, "Brother Sarada, are you suspecting that there is something wrong with those two policemen, so you plan to ask him to contact Officer Takagi and the others? We should investigate this kind of thing first. Is it better to take a look?"
"Officer Takagi shouldn't be able to handle this kind of thing yet."
Ye Gengyi wrote down a number and address, tore off the page and handed it to the young monk, explaining:
"This is Mr. Ryota Kuzo, the expert in the Department of Psychiatry and Neurology at Yokohama Hospital. He helped Conan last time and it was very enlightening. We have exchanged contact information privately. Don't worry, although he has rarely seen patients recently, he promises to But if I encounter a strange disease, I can contact him directly, oh...my surname is Ye Gengyi, you can just mention my name."
Everyone: "..."
Is there something not quite right?
Chuanjiu took the piece of paper blankly, and cried directly after a few seconds:
"I'm not sick! You believe me, Mr. Mori! You are talking nonsense, Mr. Mori!"
His howl immediately attracted the attention of the surrounding flower-viewing tourists.
The corner of a tool man's mouth twitched several times.
He really couldn't blame Ye Gengyi for this kind of thing.
After all, they have provided you with expert-level psychological counselors, but what are you going to do now? Let's find a way to stabilize this little monk first...
"OK OK!"
Hattori Heiji quickly smoothed things over, "Since you insist so much, let's go to that temple now and help you investigate!"
