the other side.
Ye Gengyi, who has basically mastered the terrain of Kitazawa Village, is sitting in the passenger seat of Takehiko Muto's car, preparing to go to the hotel to use his laptop to make the final summary.
Suddenly, he made a soft sound, and his eyes fell on the five familiar figures at the end of his sight.
"He's a child. Why can't he see the adults? He must be lost, right?"
Takehiko Muto was startled, and then he slowed down and stopped next to the five young detectives.
The windows are down.
After seeing Ye Gengyi staring at him from the passenger seat, even though he had no words, Conan still read the content and shouted that he was wronged... Hey, why are you looking like that! The first person to sneak out was not me, it really wasn’t me!
"Brother Gengyi!" the three little heads greeted.
"Do you know each other?" Takehiko Muto was curious.
"Yeah, these kids are very adventurous."
Ye Geng made a comment. After opening the door and getting out of the car, he directly asked a certain boss: "Conan, what's going on?"
Don't focus your suspicion on me whenever something like this happens... Conan cursed, with a grimace on his face, and sneaked Mitsuhiko, Genta, and Ayumi out to drive snowmobiles, and He and Huihara Ai explained the whole story of how they came out to look for someone after hearing the distress signal.
Still not convinced?
After hearing this, Ye Geng did not tolerate him and reprimanded him directly:
"Really? So why didn't you just tell the doctor and Mr. Maoli from the beginning, what should you do if you and Xiao Ai run out to find someone and are in danger?"
Ah, this... Conan choked.
It seems, it seems, there is a high probability... There is no excuse.
"Ability is not used here."
Ye Gengyi helped up the snowmobile and continued to ask: "If Mr. Muto is a kidnapper, what will you do?"
Takehiko Muto: "..."
Suddenly it became a negative teaching material... But while others are educating children, I should remain silent...
Conan: "..."
I have anesthesia needles, foot strength-enhancing shoes and a football belt... Of course, I can only say this in my heart. If he dares to refute it, the detective's hunch tells him that Brother Gengyi will definitely take advantage of this opportunity to deal with him... …
Haibara Ai:"……"
This person must have a bad taste again. It would be better to pretend to be transparent and not be implicated... Moreover, who is this man named Muto?
Three children: "..."
Just, I suddenly feel that Conan is so pitiful... Next time, I'd better not be so willful and sneak out to play...
…
After thanking Takehiko Muto.
A group of people got in the car and returned to the hotel.
After Conan called Mao Lilan to report that he was safe, he was curious about the relationship between Ye Gengyi and Muto Takehiko.
But when he thought about the training he had just received, he could only bump Haihara Ai with his arm and cast a flattering look.
It should be no problem... Haiyuan Ai started to think in silence.
This is what she would do every time she encounters a stranger since she knew Ye Gengyi was a member of the organization.
Suddenly, a hypothetical question asked by a cadre of an organization came to mind:
"What would you do if Mr. Muto was a kidnapper?"
I don't feel the atmosphere of the organization, wait a minute... Could it be that Brother Gengyi is not having a bad taste, but is deliberately reminding me not to worry?
Hui Yuan Ai blinked and said:
"Why did you go to the hotel so late?"
"In the afternoon, I asked Mr. Muto to be my guide and took me around the back mountain." Ye Gengyi said.
Someone will ask this question sooner or later. With Takehiko Muto by his side, he has no need to hide it.
Near the back mountain?
Based on this general description alone, Conan really couldn't figure out the specific scope, so he simply opened the topic and asked accordingly:
"Huh? Is Mr. Muto the guide of the village? I originally planned to go to Lake Sawajiri to see the swans, but unfortunately I got lost."
"No," Takehiko Muto explained, "I just built a hut on the back mountain to live in, and my job was to carve owls..."
"Carved owl?"
The three children thought of the exquisite wood carvings in the souvenir shop and asked, "Did uncle carve those? It's so amazing..."
"Are you awesome...? Haha, they are really polite children." Takehiko Muto's tone was full of weirdness.
"I'm sorry," Conan asked doubtfully, "Uncle, did we say something wrong?"
"Didn't uncle make those wood carvings?" Mitsuhiko couldn't help but ask.
"No, those were indeed done by me, but..."
Takehiko Muto hesitated and looked sideways at Ye Gengyi.
The latter suddenly turned cold and said, "Watch the road and drive well!"
"Well..." Takehiko Muto hurriedly did as he was told.
Hey, hey, what's going on with these two people?
Conan was even more confused.
Takehiko Muto did not forget to explain, "Because my sculpting skills are completely inadequate in front of this Mr. Ye, so you don't need to praise me for my awesomeness..."
"Eh???"
Everyone was surprised.
Haihara Ai also looked at Ye Gengyi in the passenger seat curiously... What other skills does this man have that he doesn't know about?
Immediately, the three little heads expressed their desire for the gift carved by Ye Gengyi.
This made Takehiko Muto both helpless and a little envious.
His residence is a bit remote, but his personality is not withdrawn... Otherwise, he would not have lost to Ye Gengyi in wood carving and acted as a tour guide to take him to visit the reservoir.
Conan waited for the children's noise to quiet down.
Although he was also surprised by Ye Gengyi's inadvertent display of skills, he did not forget the original purpose.
...With the character of Brother Geng, it is absolutely impossible that he went to the back mountain to find Mr. Muto because he wanted to compete with others on his sculpting skills.
Putting aside these, the only thing left is that it may be related to the subway bombing!
He seized the opportunity and asked:
"Strange, why do you live in the back mountain, Mr. Muto?"
"Because the place where I originally lived was flooded by the reservoir..." Takehiko Muto said.
really!
Conan's eyes lit up, "That...could it be that the person who opposed the construction of the reservoir in the end was Mr. Muto, right?"
"Yes, that's me."
Takehiko Muto's face was a little gloomy, "The villagers who originally opposed it finally agreed to move to an alternative place in the village. That kind of place...that kind of place! I don't care about it!"
He growled lowly, looking through the rearview mirror to see several children who were obviously frightened by him, and quickly slowed down his tone:
"Ah... I'm sorry, I get a little emotional when I talk about this. I'm really sorry, did I scare you?"
"Well, a little bit..."
Mitsuhiko, Genta, and Ayumi recalled Conan's description of 'words' in the snow, and suddenly felt that the uncle in front of them must be a good person, and they all smiled and said:
"But that's okay!"
