Near noon, Suzuki's house was located at an airport outside the city.
The airship "Bell Shirley II" is docked there, ready to take off at any time.
In front of the landing gate.
Ye Gengyi discovered a familiar figure without any surprise.
Kuroba Kaito, who had only put on a simple disguise, was currently wearing a set of SAC (Senior Aircraftman) overalls, standing there to receive everyone.
Kudo Shinichi, is that you? Kudo Shinichi...
Ye Gengyi found that face strange, but no one on their side, including Mao Lilan and Conan, noticed anything unusual about the other party.
"Professor Ye, how do you feel? Are you shocked after seeing it?" Suzuki Jirokichi said with an expression of 'I can accept any compliment'.
"Well, it can be said that my eyes are a little tired." Ye Gengyi made a pun.
"Hahaha!"
Suzuki Jiroji laughed, obviously very useful, and immediately said: "You will be more shocked later. Professor Ye, please go up first. I also need to communicate with the air traffic control staff about the specific flight matters. After takeoff, I Let me show you that gem again!”
"Well, you're busy." Ye Geng nodded and walked slowly towards the small force that was about to board the ship.
This distance is just enough to take a panoramic view over there.
He was very curious. This group of people were passing by Kuroba Kaito one after another. Is it possible that no one really paid attention to this kid's appearance?
In front of.
Facing such a luxurious flying ship, the three little heads were undoubtedly very excited.
"So big!"
"Yeah, it's really amazing..."
Mitsuhiko and Genta raised their heads.
When I thought that I would be able to take this airship to Osaka soon, I immediately ran up the stairs with a bang.
"Wait for me……"
Ayumi followed closely behind, not forgetting to turn around and greet Conan and Haibara Ai.
The result was that due to lack of concentration and too much haste, the second step of the stairs was not firmly stepped on, the sole of the foot slipped, and the head hit the edge of the ladder directly.
Kuroba Kaito's focus has always been on Conan, so when faced with unexpected situations, his reaction was half a beat too slow.
Fortunately, at the critical moment, he stopped Ayumi with his arm, and his left elbow accidentally scratched a layer of skin.
So exaggerated?
Ye Gengyi looked over there with a little astonishment.
He wasn't complaining about Kuroba Kaito's skills. After all, being able to react quickly and accurately in that situation was already quite impressive.
What Ye Gengyi really didn't understand was that when Mao Lilan, who hurriedly stepped forward to check the situation, took out a band-aid from his backpack and handed it over, the two of them looked at each other during the whole process, but they didn't notice anything wrong at all.
This world is probably crazy... After the observation, Ye Gengyi, who came to the conclusion, rubbed his eyebrows.
Immediately, he walked to the landing port without squinting, pretending not to see the expression of a certain phantom thief winking at him, and entered the airship without any pause.
Huh? Did brother find me?
Kuroba Kaito was confused.
After all, in the past, the bastard brother could always spot him immediately. He originally thought that since he would have to cross-dress again later, he might as well get a little skinny at this time, but it turned out that this time people didn't seem to notice at all. own existence...
…
What distinguishes an airship from other aircraft is that people can ride it in the sky and enjoy the scenery below leisurely.
Therefore, before taking off, this place was nothing more than a luxurious hotel.
So, after a brief visit.
Suzuki Sonoko first brought everyone to the rest area:
"You can choose your room. Lunch may be a little later, because Uncle Jiroji said that enjoying food during the flight is the best. Of course...if everyone really can't wait, you can also go to the kitchen to eat some desserts now. "
"That doesn't matter. Is there any wine?" Mouri Kogoro asked.
"Dad!" Mao Lilan was angry, but in front of everyone, she didn't want to give the famous detective face.
"Of course, red wine, white wine, beer... are all prepared," Suzuki Sonoko counted on her fingers.
"but……"
She changed the topic and said: "Uncle, if you want to drink, you must first ask for Xiaolan's permission~"
"Why is this..." Mouri Kogoro wailed.
"Hahaha..." Everyone laughed.
…
There are not many entertainment facilities in the room.
Except for the TV.
The only ones that can be found are mahjong, chess, go and playing cards.
Three children got into a room holding playing cards.
Seeing this, a certain tool man proactively suggested that he would like to set up a table of mahjong.
Dr. A Li has an easy-going personality and expressed his willingness to participate.
Mao Lilan was also a little ready to make a move.
When asked about Ye Gengyi, he simply said "no" and gave up his position:
"I'm going back to my room to rest for a while. Sonoko, you can stay and play."
"Well, I'm not very good at playing either." Suzuki Sonoko said vaguely.
As for the extent of this 'somewhat' and 'not very good', it is unknown.
"Conan, can you?" Ye Gengyi asked.
"Well, I know a little bit." Conan said that because he had been to Hawaii, his skill tree was very complete.
"Okay, you teach Yuanzi." Ye Gengyi arranged directly.
"Is this okay?" Suzuki Sonoko felt that cooperating with Conan, a little devil, was no different from admitting defeat.
But then I thought about it, I was also half the host of this trip, and I couldn't let the atmosphere cool down. After muttering, I didn't say anything more.
"I'll go make him some coffee."
Haiyuan Ai followed.
She carries various flavors of instant drinks in her bag, and hot water is provided in the room, which saves her a trip to the kitchen.
"Brother Gengyi, this little maid is very well-behaved." Suzuki Sonoko looked over and teased.
"Xiao Ai just looks a little hard to get in touch with, but she's actually very cute." Mao Lilan said.
Her actual age is one year older than you... Conan's half-moon eyes secretly cursed.
Here, Hui Yuan Ai came to Ye Gengyi's room.
After seeing that the professor surnamed Ye was actually lying on the bed to rest, he immediately let out a soft 'eh' sound and asked, "Are you feeling unwell?"
Ye Gengyi narrowed his eyes slightly, then closed them again, "Your expression and tone of voice are as if the capitalists were surprised to see the workers taking a rest."
What kind of metaphor is this...
Haiyuan Ai sweated and explained: "I thought you came back with an excuse to continue scientific research. After all, this is not the first time you have done this, and I have reason to suspect that you can play mahjong!"
Ye Gengyi was still wary of this kind of topic, "What's the reason?"
"Intuition." Haiyuan Ai's expression was very serious.
Ye Gengyi was silent for a moment: "...Awesome."
"Did I guess right?" Hui Yuan Ai asked.
"You can continue to guess." Ye Gengyi said.
"Because I played mahjong when I was studying abroad. It was spread from China. It's impossible for a talent like you who is proficient in many skills to not be able to do it, right?"
Hui Yuan Ai finished her guess and waited for Ye Gengyi's answer.
"First of all, the wording is inappropriate. Being able to play that cannot be called a 'talent'..."
Ye Gengyi corrected a certain Lolita's wrong description and continued: "Secondly, I do know how to do it."
"so……"
Haihara Ai looked serious and brought the topic back to the beginning: "You can play mahjong, but you didn't stay to play with us, and then you didn't do scientific research when you returned to the room. I would think that you were feeling unwell, which is reasonable, right? "
"Don't be too influenced by the little detective. Some people are not naturally suitable for clue reasoning..."
Ye Geng turned to one side and explained:
"In your previous inference, only the fact that you saw my abnormal behavior meets the condition of 'I am not feeling well'. The other points of view can be said to be complete guesswork. Of course, it does not mean that the method is undesirable. After all, in When there is complete uncertainty, it is feasible to adopt this method, but that is a last resort. Normal logical thinking should give priority to judging whether I was too sleepless and forgetful about food and sleep in the Suzuki consultant's laboratory a few days ago, so That’s why I’m in a bad mental state today.”
"..."
Haibara Ai was silent for a moment, then walked to the bedside and spoke in a very definite tone: "I think I was not influenced by Edogawa, but by you..."
"Well, the change in title is progress, although it's not big...just keep it up." Ye Gengyi said.
"ah?"
Haibara Ai was startled, and then he realized that what Gengyi mentioned was his name of 'Kudo'. In this strange environment, he subconsciously changed it to 'Edogawa'.
However, the Suzuki family shouldn't install bugs in their guests' rooms, right?
Haiyuan Ai looked around, but unfortunately she didn't carry any detection equipment. She couldn't find a suitable location for installing a bug with her eyesight alone.
"There is no electronic version. I am not sure about the physics, but it is difficult to install. In a room with sound insulation materials, the eavesdropping quality is also very poor..."
Ye Gengyi's voice was not loud, but he did not lower it deliberately. He said slowly: "The Suzuki family has no reason to do such a thing. Otherwise, when you mentioned 'study abroad,' I would have already tried to stop you."
"Well……"
Hui Yuan Ai opened his mouth, and suddenly he didn't know whether he should continue talking.
And for a moment, she even suspected that the person in front of her was deliberately scaring her, just to rest quietly...
Then the problem comes back again.
Hui Yuan Ai thought for a moment and said, "Are you...really tired?"
"Otherwise?" Ye Gengyi asked.
He knew that Little Radar was caring about him, so he was able to answer patiently.
Anyway, I just closed my eyes and rested my mind, and had no intention of actually sleeping.
But if it were that boy Conan, regardless of his purpose, he would have been kicked out long ago if he dared to ask so many questions.
"You rest, I'll watch them play mahjong."
Haiyuan Ai came to the door and suddenly became curious: "Um, are you good at playing mahjong..."
“Without a mahjong machine, unless I don’t look at or participate in the shuffling of the cards every time, I can easily remember the positions of more than 80% of the cards on the table, and I can also roughly guess the remaining 20%. "Ye Gengyi said.
"Then let's use the mahjong machine," Haiyuan Ai invited eagerly: "We have time to play together next time?"
"After using the mahjong machine for a few rounds, I will also calculate the rules of shuffling the cards... Moreover, I don't like people. After you play a few times, you will lose the experience."
Ye Gengyi said: "Besides, it's very addictive. I don't need to waste my time. I have quit."
Haibara Ai:"……"
