The tires jumped from the slightly muddy suburban road to the smooth concrete road.
Intermittent bumps are interrupted, and the silky touch is transmitted to the hearts of everyone in the car through the thick rubber seat cushions.
Outside the window, patches of green trees and flowers are gradually replaced by high-rise buildings.
Soon after, they arrived in the city.
After finding a suitable location and parking the car on the side of the road, the group chose a nearby breakfast restaurant that was clean, tidy and not crowded.
During the meal, a certain detective boy who didn't care about fighting took the opportunity to get close to Ye Gengyi and asked in a low voice: "Brother Gengyi, what do you think of Mr. Zhaosi?"
This was the question he came up with after careful consideration.
Don't ask questions, don't talk about specifics, just talk about feelings, just say 'how'...it can be said that it involves all aspects.
The little calculation in Conan's heart was making a loud noise.
Ye Gengyi, who was at the same dining table, did not deliberately ignore the boy. However, he just glanced at him lightly, then returned his attention to the breakfast in his hand and said:
"No special impression."
"..."
Look! Look!
Obviously Brother Gengyi was not like this before...I remember that he would occasionally discuss clues with me!
Conan said subconsciously: "But didn't you say yesterday..."
"Huh?" Ye Gengyi interrupted the other party: "What did I say yesterday?"
Oops!
Conan secretly said something bad, and then his calf was kicked hard.
Looking up, he saw Hui Yuan Ai glaring at him with an evil expression.
Conan smiled and hurriedly lowered his head to eat.
He asked Haiyuan to help him inquire about the news. He believed that Brother Gengyi could not know anything about it, but it was a tacit understanding between the two parties. If he really wanted to identify Haiyuan as his news relay, he was worried that he would have nothing to talk to in the future. …
Had breakfast.
Ye Gengyi asked Dr. Ari to send the children back to 2-chome first, while he went to a nearby store to buy souvenirs.
This is both politeness and caution based on habit.
After all, in some cases, the reason why the murderer is exposed is not because there is a problem in the criminal method, but because the details expose flaws.
For example, knowing that the target would die, he did not prepare food for the target for no reason on the day of the crime...
Um?
Why do I feel like I am going to kill someone...
Ye Gengyi gathered his thoughts and stopped thinking from the perspective of the 'perpetrator'.
There was a promotion for the Metropolitan Police Department's child kidnapping prevention plan, and then I met a strange couple while camping. In addition, I guessed that Bourbon was disguised as Shuichi Akai. If he did all three things intentionally, Could it be that... Bourbon's official identity is not a self-defense officer or an American soldier but a public security officer?
…
It's noon, in the dark house.
Ding dong ~ ding dong ~
The doorbell echoed in the empty mansion, and for a long time, there was no sound.
"It's strange, the time written on the email is now." Dr. Ali took out his phone in confusion and confirmed the time again.
At this moment, the door slowly opened a gap.
A flash of light flashed through Ye Geng's eyes, and he saw a strangely dressed figure standing behind the door holding something that looked like a fireworks tube.
The reason why I say 'suspected' is because when they are so close, considering the time, he is no longer allowed to observe more details.
Yes or no choice.
Either a fireworks tube, or something disguised as a fireworks tube.
The nanorobot was ready to attack without any hesitation. One of his feet was already on the edge of the door, and he pushed it back with a little force.
Immediately afterwards.
Accompanied by a dull sound of fireworks.
The surprise was trapped inside the door.
Eh? ? ?
Looking at the colorful ribbons and scattered confetti rushing towards her after hitting the door panel, Konno Sumatsu was a little confused as she was surrounded by the colors.
"???"
Not only her, but everyone outside the door except Ye Gengyi also had question marks on their heads.
The door seemed to have opened just now...and then seemed to have closed...
And what's going on with that muffled sound?
Someone inside hit the door?
"..."
After a while.
The door opened again.
With fluttering confetti as the background, Konno Junka appeared again in front of everyone wearing black curtains, a pointed hat and a pumpkin mask:
"Um...are you...ok?"
"..."
The scene was silent for a moment, quite awkward.
Dr. A Li took two steps back, subconsciously wanting to walk out of the yard and look at the door number outside.
If the voice hadn't sounded familiar, he would have wondered if he had gone astray.
wrong……
It's obviously a newer car!
He turned to look at a certain professor surnamed Ye.
Ye Gengyi was as calm as ever: "Miss Chunxia, you and Mr. House Secretary didn't seem to inform us that the theme of today's lunch is a masquerade party."
"Well……"
Konno Junka stretched out her index finger, as if she wanted to scratch her cheek in embarrassment, and then she scratched her pumpkin helmet. Her slightly funny behavior made the atmosphere even more embarrassing.
"Chun Xia...Auntie?" The three children from the Youth Detective Team called out tentatively.
"Well...it's me..." Konno Junka took off her pumpkin helmet, "Originally I wanted to give you a surprise, but the house manager refused to come and help no matter what, so there was a problem..."
"But, for Halloween," the three children looked at each other, with a hint of helplessness in their tone: "It should be the children who come to visit in disguise and beg for candy, right?"
Listen to them talking about Halloween ghosts and candy.
Konno Otakuji sighed, shook his head helplessly, walked out of the house, and said:
"Chun Xia, so I didn't advise you. It's obviously not Halloween, so you shouldn't dress up like this..."
"I thought the children would be happy by doing this." Konno Junka looked aggrieved.
"You've always been like this. You just do whatever you want without thinking about other people's feelings," Konno Otakuji complained: "It was the same at last year's Christmas party... you actually wore a reindeer costume."
Konno Junka retorted: "You said Santa Claus in a miniskirt was embarrassing, so I changed into an elk, right?"
“Is the point about the elk in the miniskirt?”
Konno Otakuji covered his face with one hand and shook his head: "I have to think about my age..."
"So that's what you want to say!" Konno Junka paused for a few seconds, took a deep breath, then raised her voice and shouted: "I've become an old woman, I'm really sorry for you!"
Why are this couple quarreling again... So, should we show some 'surprises' just now?
Dr. A Li felt ashamed in his heart and hurriedly stepped forward to break up the fight:
"Mr. House Secretary, Miss Junxia, you two have something to talk about."
