A night of silence.
The next day.
After having breakfast and packing their bags, Dr. Ali and Haihara Ai followed Ye Gengyi to the car rental agency.
After learning that Conan is going to go to the hot springs.
Ye Gengyi thought that Maori Kogoro and Maori Lan would also go together.
result……
"Sister Xiaolan is about to participate in a karate competition. She will go to the club to practice for a while. As for uncle... I played mahjong for half the night last night and I haven't gotten up yet."
Conan looked tired when he said this. It was obvious that he was disturbed by the snoring of a certain tool man this morning.
"Is your cold better?" Ye Gengyi asked.
"Only my nose is still a little stuffy. It seems to be due to the sweat I hurried to Aumei's house yesterday. My body feels a lot lighter all of a sudden... The doctor at the original clinic said it will take at least a week."
Conan cheered up and said with a smile, "But I think after taking a dip in the hot springs this time, I should be almost healed."
If you recover, won't people in Miwa Town start dying again? No... maybe there will be a murder on this hot spring trip...
Ye Gengyi said "Oh" and said no more.
Along the way, I picked up the three children from the Junior Detective Team and headed to Kanagawa Prefecture.
I wonder if it’s because the weather hasn’t warmed up yet.
Ye Gengyi observed and found that Ayumi, Mitsuhiko and Yuantai all had mild cold symptoms when they got in the car, but they disappeared as time passed.
At this time, in the back seat of the car, everyone had turned from admiring the scenery outside the window to lively chatting.
Ayumi took the initiative to play a guessing game and asked: "There's a flood above, a fire below... Guess what it is?"
"Hot spring~" Mitsuhiko and Genta said in unison.
Dr. A Li smiled and said nothing.
Conan was a little helpless, "The answer should be a bathtub, right? Hot springs don't need to boil water."
"But, the bathtubs used at home now use water heaters to fill the water, right? But hot springs are heated by magma geothermal..." Haibara Ai said.
"Well," Conan sweated, "That's the right way to explain it."
"I won't talk about dominant inheritance yesterday. I can even get this brain teaser wrong. But then again..."
Hui Yuan Ai teased: "Have you rarely watched TV recently?"
Obviously, being able to pull Ye Gengyi out as planned made her feel very good.
"Please, why do you say you don't have these?"
Conan shouted low and quickly looked towards the driver's seat. Seeing that Sarada didn't ask any questions, he immediately changed the subject and said, "Hey...by the way, why are we going to the hot springs in Kanagawa Prefecture?"
"Because the owner of a hot spring shop there is a loyal customer of mine." Dr. Ali smiled "hehe" and let it go.
These words immediately aroused the curiosity of the children.
Yuantai asked: "What kind of invention is it?"
"Could it be a chair that can achieve the effect of soaking in a hot spring just by sitting down?" Mitsuhiko's imagination was wide open.
"Wow! That's amazing." Ayumi sighed.
"Heh, heh heh..."
Dr. A Li's smile froze on his face.
It feels like you have finally passed CET-4 or CET-6 and are about to show off to people you know, but they ask you how many questions you gave for this exam.
Here, Ye Gengyi explained it with behavior that is more in line with Ke Xue’s world:
"If such a powerful invention could be made, not only the hot springs would be banned, but the hot spring shop owners would also start hunting down the doctor."
"It's not that exaggerated..."
Dr. A Li smiled awkwardly, "Anyway, you will know when you go there."
Even if it is not some useless invention, as long as it is not a prop that can replace a hot spring chair, everyone will feel disappointed after seeing it. Sure enough, even if the place is a hot spring, Brother Geng's silence is also professional...
Conan couldn't help but cursed.
…
after an hour.
Everyone arrived at the Lake View Hotel in Hakone Hot Spring.
The boss is a middle-aged man in his fifties with a slicked back hair.
I saw Dr. A Li arriving as scheduled.
He expressed his thanks first, and then immediately took out a prop that was shaped like a funnel, but the overall edge was several times larger.
"This is……"
Ye Gengyi recalled briefly and confirmed that he had not seen it before.
"Oh, let me keep it a secret for now."
Dr. A Li hid the props behind his back, "Anyway, let's take the children and put their luggage into the room first. I can fix it soon!"
I hope it doesn't explode... After all, that prop not only looks like a funnel, it also looks like a grenade...
Although Ye Gengyi thought so, he had no intention of staying to help.
Dr. A Li has said so, and his clients are watching. As long as the props don't really explode, there is no need for him to reduce the inventor's image.
Walking into the lobby of the hotel, you can see that there are many people visiting the hot springs during this season.
Ye Geng put the things into the room and reminded the children not to run around. After sorting out the items, he gathered on the stairs, walked to the vending machine, and bought a can of coffee.
It was almost a minute or two after a few people regrouped.
Dr. A Li walked over with the hotel owner with a smile on his face.
"It's fixed?"
Ye Geng threw the empty coffee can into the trash can.
"Small problem." Dr. A Li smiled confidently.
"I have always liked Mr. Agasa's inventions."
The shop owner affirmed from the side and pointed at a hot spring room and said: "It just needs cleaning there. There are no customers for the time being, so let's go there to test it."
In the bathroom filled with mist.
A group of people came to the pool barefoot.
Dr. Ali held the funnel-shaped prop in both hands and put one end of the long pole into the water. The other side was affected by buoyancy and floated steadily on the water.
After a few seconds.
A little doll with an explosive head rose from the top of the prop, opening and closing its mouth and uttering the voice of a cartoon character:
[The current water temperature is 42.3 degrees, and the total sulfur content in 1 kilogram of hot spring water is 25.7 mg... This hot spring is sulfur spring water... In addition to helping to treat skin diseases, arteriosclerosis, and rheumatism, sulfur hot springs also Beauty effect...】
This is... a temperature sensor and a water component detection analyzer...
Ye Geng raised his eyebrows.
If the water content is accurately reported, the cost of integrating the detector into such an arm-long prop is not low.
"Wow~" the three little heads were surprised, "so cute."
"What kind of character is this?" Haiyuan Ai asked, pointing to the little doll.
"Ishikawa Goemon, he is probably the first person who comes to mind when mentioning the bathtub." Dr. Agasa explained with a smile.
"Hey!"
Conan was ashamed, "The person you mentioned, if I remember correctly, should have been executed and thrown into boiling water and scalded to death, right?"
