Transform randomly in Kexue World

Chapter 401 Snow Monster and Choice
"Show me." Conan asked for the doctor's notes from Haihara Ai.

He first turned to the title page and found a signature on it, the English word 'Martin' in cursive script.

It was obviously the doctor's travel and skiing notes before... but now I still can't figure out whether it is the doctor or Martin.

In addition to the signature, there are three lines of slightly sloppy writing on the title page, written with another kind of pen, in Japanese.

{What we discover is greater than we imagined, but we are not alone in these mountains. }
{The evil spirit reminds us that it looks like a human being, but we should not explore it. }
{Light may cause harm. }
Open the notes from the first page. The first content is about the collection of sighting records of the Himalayan Yeti.

From 1848 to the present, witnessing records of this kind of existence appear every ten years in places such as Bhutan, Nepal, India, and XZ.

Especially modern reports, clippings or excerpts have been made in the notes.

Then there are records of some scientific expedition teams that entered the Himalayas to search for Yeti and their scientific expedition reports.

The second part organizes the content about the physical characteristics of the snow monster, such as footprints, body hair, body shape, etc. In short, it is a strong beast that looks like a giant ape and is covered in long hair.

The third part is the geological research. There are not many parts that Conan can understand. He can barely understand that it cites theories such as plate drift theory and convergent evolution, and forcibly demonstrates that the place where they are now is located in the northern part of Gunma County. The ski resort has the same origin as the Himalayan Mountains, has a similar environment, and has conditions for growing similar flora and fauna.

Then there is the problem that Shuichi Akai (Conan currently thinks his name is Hideyoshi Akaike) does not seem to have Martin in his memory: "It should be that Martin's name was placed on Dr. Agasa, so the knowledge of Martin was transferred to the doctor. . In addition...if I follow my intuition, I also have the feeling that our group is originally just us and the doctor. It seems that Martin was not originally acting with us in this transformation setting."

"...It just makes people have a headache." Conan said for Haibara Ai: "That guy Martin seems to have said it, right? In this case, just trust your intuition. It seems to be called... trusting the horse to follow the reins? It seems that he wrote this note 'Martin' is Dr. Ali. According to that guy's common saying, it seems that the doctor has received a role in today's plot, a character called 'Martin'."

"Are you raising this possibility to make me nervous?" Haihara Ai didn't care, lowered his voice and asked, looking at the electric heater in the corner.

"Although it makes sense, we can't rule out another possibility." To be on the safe side, Conan proposed a second possibility: "The guy's transformation attracted a real, violent snow monster out of nowhere, and it attacked him first. And then attacked the doctor?"

Did Martin or Dr. Ari tear it off?
The content at the back was a blank page, but there were some faint marks under the light, so Conan took a pencil and painted it with a classic operation, and vaguely saw that the previous page should be a map.

But when Conan turned down further, he found that the back part had been torn out, five or six pages in a row.

"But where did Martin get the motive to abduct the Doctor?" Conan first questioned, then patted his head in annoyance: "That guy doesn't need a motive to do things, or he just wants to watch a show."

"Haiyuan, do you think this is the doctor's handwriting?" Conan frowned, turned back the first half of the note, and handed it back to Haiyuan Ai for identification.

After entering the room, besides the disappearance of the doctor, the second thing he noticed was that the electric heater in the corner was turned off, and he went over to confirm that the remaining warmth was still there.

"Ah...you discovered it." Conan also smiled with control.

The fourth part seems to have nothing to do with the snow monster. Instead, it records a plant, a fern with curly stems and leaves. The notes record that it is blue.

The tear was very rough, and a few scattered characters could be seen in the remaining fragments. It seemed that it was full of content before it was torn off. The paper powder found in it proved that the content was torn out not long ago.

There is also the notebook. Although the handwriting on the title page belongs to the doctor, the pen and the degree of scrawling are different from the later notes. It is probably a reminder written by Dr. Ali before leaving.

Haihara Ai picked it up and looked through it carefully, then frowned as well: "My intuition tells me yes, but if I have to carefully identify the details..."

The gray-white hair that was hanging on the wooden board was picked up by Miyano Akemi. The hair was not only dirty, but also smelly, smellier than ordinary wild animals.

But the map is still blurry, and I can't even see where it is.

In Conan's eyes, this is very unrealistic. The Himalayas and Japan belong to the edge of the Eurasian plate, just like the two handles of a stew pot. No matter how the plates drift, the theory of "were one family eight million years ago" cannot be floated. . There must be one person among Conan and the 'doctor' who recorded this note who is ignorant, or it may be due to Martin's ability, which distorted some concepts and forced rationalization.

"What could that be?" Hui Yuan Ai looked at the big hole in the wall.

But during this freezing time, the doctor who had a bad cold was kidnapped... By the way, since the doctor has a 'character', the cold should also be cured by the status refresh.

If the Doctor was kidnapped, would he still have time to turn off the electric heater to prevent a fire?

If that was the hair of a snow monster, Haihara Ai obviously suspected that Martin had turned into a snow monster.

The scrawled handwriting showed that the doctor was a little anxious, but finishing those three lines showed that the doctor was not in any danger. In this case, it was 90% likely that Martin had kidnapped him.

But Conan just pretended not to notice this, and deliberately raised a possibility that sounded dangerous, which made Haibara Ai somewhat suspicious of Conan's motives: "Do you want to play with that guy?"

"That's right. I feel like it would be more troublesome not to follow that guy's routine. Anyway, we are here for a skiing vacation, and we didn't play much during the day, so we just tried to see if Martin's game is fun. Besides -" Conan He turned to look at Akaike Hideyoshi, who had taken the ball of white hair from Miyano Akemi and was studying it carefully, and lowered his voice:
"This should be a good opportunity to observe that person."

Conan had long noticed that the clothes on Akai Shuichi's right arm were extremely damaged, but the exposed skin had no scars, which was obviously a sign of a refreshed condition.

Speaking of which, I didn't refresh my status... Conan moved his hips uneasily, maybe he failed to do the air splits again.

Martin's status refresh will not have an effect on healed injuries, so Xiaolan, who had his ligament stretched more than ten years ago and exercised regularly to maintain it, will not be affected, but she may be affected by this at any time before her ligament heals. It can be initialized with one click.

Back to the topic, because when Akai Hideyoshi confessed to Miyano Akemi, Conan not only left voluntarily, but even the bug was banned by Martin, so Conan now knows nothing about 'Akaike Hideyoshi', and he doesn't even know that he is the FBI. All I know is that he is Miyano Akemi’s ex-boyfriend and a member of the organization.

Although after this skiing is over, they can try to ask Martin or Miyano Akemi for information about each other, but there is no way Conan can come and see with his own eyes what kind of person he is.

Moreover, 'Akaike Hideyoshi' triggered a status refresh, indicating that he also received a 'character' during this transformation. In addition, the mechanism of cognitive distortion makes many things flexible, allowing Conan to judge that he is now in contact with the opponent. good chance.

Just as he was talking, Akai Shuichi also came over: "Did you find anything?"

"Here." Conan pointed to the small notebook in Haihara Ai's hand: "The doctor has a notebook about snow monsters."

"Let me take a look." Akai Shuichi asked over, and gave Conan the white hair he held between his fingers, and wiped his fingers on Conan's clothes.

After Akai Shuichi got the notebook, he turned around and looked through it with Miyano Akemi.

Conan, on the other hand, looked at the vaguely smelly hair with a look of disgust on his face. It smelled like body odor.

Indeed, in Dr. Ali's notebook, more than 80% of the snow monster sighting reports mentioned that the snow monster has a very strong odor.

But apart from confirming that it is a snow monster, this ball of hair is of no use to him. Maybe it can be analyzed by a biologist to get some clues, but Conan, as a detective, does not have any relevant skills. Speaking of biologists, there happens to be one here who seems to have some connections.

"Do you want to take a look?" Conan handed the hair to Haihara Ai.

Girls' sense of smell is more sensitive. Faced with the smell that hit her nostrils, Haihara Ai was very disgusted: "Take it away."

However, Haihara Ai's reaction suddenly aroused Conan's naughty child. The guy put on a lewd smile and kept approaching Haihara Ai with the smelly hair ball: "Take a look~ Take a look~"

He looked like a primary school student who threatened a girl with a dead mouse and deserved a beating.

Then Conan was lifted up, and Akai Shuichi was looking at him with a dead look.

"Just...just a joke." Conan twitched the corner of his mouth, pleading rather than defending.

Yes, now he has recognized the first characteristic of the other party. He is very protective of his sister-in-law. Conan is helpless.

"Conan, that's too low-level!" The three little ones were still watching, and Ayumi also criticized.

Mitsuhiko educated him seriously: "Conan, it's people like you who make adults prejudice against children!"

Yuantai was very simple: "I'll beat you up."

……

At the same time, the Maori family.

"Xiaolan, I'm back..."

Mouri Kogoro put on the new tie he got from Fei Eri after noon and went to play mahjong with his friends, showing off his tie intentionally or unintentionally.

Then it was dinner time before he wandered back: "Xiaolan, what are you having for dinner?"

Xiaolan, who became an empty-nest daughter after Conan was taken away for skiing, sat at the table and memorized vocabulary. She said without raising her head when she heard the words: "There is also a bowl of carrot soup in the kitchen, and the rice is served in the pot."

Mouri Kogoro blinked and waited for a few seconds before confirming that there was no more content in his daughter's words: "No more?"

Don’t we usually have three dishes and one soup? Where's the meat? Where's the food? Where's the fish?

"No, only soup." Xiaolan still didn't look up.

While in the hotel in Karuizawa, seeing her parents fail to reconcile again, Mao Lilan finally decided to adopt Martin's previous advice and not be too nice to this bad old man.

Maybe my daughter has too much homework this weekend and doesn’t feel like cooking today? Moori Kogoro, who was always rough, didn't think too much and went to the kitchen to heat up the food.

But after entering the kitchen, Mouri Kogoro sniffed and smelled the faint aroma and smell of oil smoke.

"No, have you cooked?" Mouri Kogoro poked his head from the kitchen to confirm.

"Yeah. Grilled fish pieces, fried chicken, mixed with tofu." Xiaolan admitted frankly that her purpose was to make her father realize that his comfort zone was about to be broken, and to know that he was angry, rather than to secretly treat him harshly. : "I only did my part."

"I eat fish and meat, but my old father only has rice and miso soup?" This is the first time Xiaolan has treated him like this in ten years. Mouri Kogoro is puzzled: "Why?"

"Because it's difficult to control the soup pot and rice cooker when they only cook for one person. The water boils too fast and the ingredients cannot be cooked through." Xiaolan turned a page in the vocabulary book in her hand: "I have to cook for two people."

If the motivation is revealed directly, my father will fight against him to the end because of his stubborn temper, and in the end he would rather be soft on himself than on his mother. Therefore, the attitude can be upright, but the motivation cannot be stated.

Martin helped Xiaolan grasp the details clearly.

"So I have extra rice!?"

Although he was at home, Mouri Kogoro suddenly felt that the winter wind was indeed a bit cold.

"Because someone can't even get home on time, how do I know if he wants to come home for dinner?"

Having nothing to say, Mouri Kogoro retreated to the kitchen, put the soup pot on the fire and heated it over medium heat. He poured the rice from the rice cooker into a large bowl. When the radish miso soup started to bubble, he turned off the heat and poured out the soup. Into a large bowl.

"Remember to wash the pot." The daughter's instructions came from outside.

After soaking the two pots with water, he took some pickles from the refrigerator. Kogoro Mori came out with a bowl of soup rice and sat on the other side of the dining table. He smashed the cold rice with the chopsticks in his hand and mixed the rice with the soup. Mix well.

While eating a handful of rice, he secretly observed Xiaolan's expression.

He could guess that Xiaolan's tantrum was related to Karuizawa's incident, and taking advantage of the little brat Conan's absence to at least save him some face.

But you have to know how long your sentence is, right?
"Xiaolan." Mouri Kogoro asked tentatively: "What will you eat tomorrow morning?"

After a pause, Xiaolan turned the pages of the vocabulary book and said, "Dad, you can choose by yourself."

It turned out to be just tonight. Mouri Kogoro breathed a sigh of relief and asked happily: "What are the options?"

"Chazuke rice."

"..." Mouri Kogoro waited for a long time before the second option came, and the movement of bibimbap in his hand slowed down: "What else should I choose?"

After putting down the book, Xiaolan finally looked up:

"To eat, or not to eat."
