Conan knew that Ye Gengyi had good ears, so he didn't dare to approach the tent to eavesdrop, so he had to wait outside not far away.
At this time, when he saw the curtain of the tent opened, he immediately greeted Haiyuan Ai:
"How's it going? What did Brother Gengyi say?"
"You think too much."
Haihara Ai briefly recounted the conversation in the tent.
"I didn't see anything, but... I feel like there's something wrong with that man?"
Conan held his chin with one hand and thought for a moment, then stared at Haihara Ai suspiciously: "Brother Gengyi, did you really just say this?"
Hui Yuan Ai raised his eyebrows: "If you don't believe it, just ask yourself. If your face no longer hurts."
Conan: "..."
I have reasonable doubts, okay?
Huihara Ai ignored him and turned around to walk towards Ayumi and the others.
"Hey, wait, wait..."
Seeing this, Conan quickly stopped the other party: "Under normal circumstances, you would be surprised to hear Brother Gengyi's inconsistent analysis, but you... didn't ask?"
"Of course I asked."
Haiyuan Ai paused briefly: "Then... Brother Gengyi said that maybe Mr. House Secretary doesn't intend to invite us to his home for dinner."
Conan: "???"
Brother Geng Yi shouldn’t have had a drink? He subconsciously looked at his tool man, and at the same time, he looked towards the tent in confusion, and vaguely smelled the aroma of coffee...
…
Time passed by minute by minute.
Here, Konno Junka was sitting on a pony outside the tent, looking at the three children playing not far away, and couldn't help but curl her lips.
"Miss Junxia." Conan came over quietly and asked softly, "Are you okay?"
"Well, it's okay." Konno Junka looked at the little boy in front of her, "I'm sorry for causing you trouble."
"You don't have to be so polite." Conan shook his head, glanced at Konno Takumi who was cleaning the pots in the distance, and asked tentatively: "Speaking of which, the relationship between you and your husband is really good."
"Really?" Konno Junka smiled, "Actually, we also have a lot of quarrels and differences, but most of the time we can understand and tolerate each other."
Conan nodded thoughtfully, then glanced at Konno Houseji in the distance, and happened to miss the subtle bitterness flashing in Konno Junka's eyes.
She took a deep breath to calm down, then raised her head and put on a warm smile: "By the way, is there anything in particular you want to eat?"
"Well...it's nothing," Conan thought for a while and said, "It's just that the doctor can only eat a little bit of meat due to his health."
"I know," Konno Junka said, "I will also prepare some very delicious vegetables then."
"Yeah! I went over there to play!" Conan waved his hand, turned around and ran away.
Compared to Konno Otakuji, who showed no abnormality from beginning to end, Conan always thought that he could find out the problem from Konno Junka, who had been vomiting before and invited everyone to her house for dinner.
But now it seems that apart from showing a 'fierce' side when he quarreled with Konno Otakuji, the other party is not too gentle towards children like them.
Could it be...that I really just think too much?
…
The barbecue continues until the end of dinner.
As night falls, the charcoal fire gradually extinguishes.
The only lighting here is the stars in the sky and the night light outside the tent.
Ye Gengyi was lying in the tent, seemingly sleeping, but in fact he was putting information on his retina to read.
As mentioned before, it does not involve practical research topics. For him, as long as the environment is comfortable, it does not matter where he is.
It's just that there really wasn't any murder...
Finished reading a note.
A spherical ornament hanging outside the tent rotates in the wind, constantly monitoring the environment of the camping area.
Organize your thoughts.
In his spare time, Ye Geng recalled what happened today in his mind.
Even if he doubts someone he meets for the first time, it is nothing difficult for him to say.
But if you add 'no reason' to this suspicion...it's obvious that the man named Konno Takuji doesn't have such strong disguise skills.
In the tent on the other side, Conan was also tossing and turning.
He was also thinking about what happened today and Ye Gengyi's reaction.
To be honest, he originally thought that as long as Haiyuan asked, Ye Geng would most likely tell the problem he discovered, but he didn't expect to hear the result and became even more confused.
So... Brother Gengyi speculates on the reason why Mr. House Secretary doesn’t plan to invite us to his house for barbecue?
Haha... You shouldn't be perfunctory with us, right?
Conan shook his head, trying to 'rationalize' Ye Gengyi's behavior, and after a moment he sighed in his heart:
"Oh... forget it, anyway, the doctor just said that Mr. House Secretary has sent him an email to tell him the address, and it also details the time for the visit. In short, just go and take a look and you will know!"
…
During the long night, I fell into sleep with my thoughts.
The next morning, as the chirping of birds pierced the sky, the sun shone through the thin clouds.
Ye Gengyi got up earlier than everyone else, packed the camping equipment including his tent and put it back in the car in advance.
…There really were no homicides.
Shaking his head slightly, Ye Gengyi came to the tent on the other side and woke up Dr. A Li.
"Um...is it morning?" Dr. Ali opened his eyes drowsily and yawned.
"Well, let's go back to the city for breakfast." Ye Gengyi was not going to continue lighting the fire and have a morning picnic.
and……
He's finished his coffee.
After a while, the vague sound of several children getting up came from the tent.
Facing the morning sun.
In the camping area a little further away, other people got out of the tents one after another, and for a while, the camp became lively.
Mr. Otakuji and Miss Junxia also got up... Conan looked around and saw that the two of them were also packing their camping equipment and preparing to return.
Comparing the two, because Ye Gengyi and the others still have children, they lag behind the other party in terms of efficiency.
Before leaving, the couple came over to say hello again.
By the time Dr. Ali took the three children out of the tent, the two had been gone for five or six minutes.
"Already left?" Dr. Ali looked over there.
"Probably we need to go back and prepare." Ye Gengyi said, "After all, they invited us to have dinner at noon."
Ayumi, Mitsuhiko and Genta, who were still a little confused, couldn't help but get excited when they heard the words. Even Conan was looking forward to having lunch at Konnoya and his wife's house.
"Put the garbage here." Dr. Ali opened a few plastic bags, not knowing what the meaning was, and watched several children packing their things with a smile.
Not long after, a turtle car and an off-road vehicle slowly drove away from the campsite.
