Conan: Nakamura-kun is forced to be almighty

Even though Xiao Jing felt somewhat familiar, it was still the first time he had met him. When he proposed to leave, it was naturally impossible for anyone to stop him.

Amuro Toru's rationality told him that it was best not to ask anything and not get close to the child.

However, he spoke unknowingly, "Senior Maori didn't drive here, why don't you let me give you a ride?"

Mouri Kogoro knew that Toru Amuro actually had a mission when he came here. For safety reasons, he did not ask about the specific mission.

In any case, sending a child home should not be what Toru Amuro should do during the mission. It would be too dangerous if someone with a good intention in the organization discovered the flaw.

Before Kogoro Mouri could refuse, Fei Yingli took the initiative and said: "No need to trouble Mr. Amuro, I drove here."

However, the people in Zhongcun had no worries and asked directly: "Xiao Jing, how is the scenery where you live?"

“It’s pretty good, the food is delicious and the mountain scenery is pretty good.”

Hagiwara climbed up along the pole, "I'm tired of playing at the beach. Can we go there and have a look?"

"It sounds very good. Is the accommodation sufficient? Do I need to make a reservation in advance?"

Xiao Jing didn't think about it, "No need. There are many rooms. Only my brother and I will stay temporarily. Even if you all go there, we can still fit in."

As soon as this statement came out, the group's subsequent itinerary was immediately finalized.

Xiao Jing stared blankly at the group of people he had just met who wanted to go back with him. He couldn't say it until the car set off. It was okay to go back alone.

Sugiyama Kage was in charge of guiding the way, and several other cars followed closely behind.

After driving for two hours and still not reaching the destination, the co-pilot, Kogoro Mouri, finally couldn't help but ask: "How did Sugiyama-kun get down the mountain yesterday?"

"Naturally, we walk down the mountain."

"Without any means of transportation? Cars, bicycles, etc."

Xiao Jing's face was full of innocence, "I'm not old enough to drive yet."

Such an honest reason left Mouri Kogoro speechless.

The roads in the mountains are very narrow and can only accommodate one car. If you reverse or miss a car, you need to go to a designated area.

The unique scenery of the mountains and forests dazzled children who grew up in a big city like Tokyo. Xiao Ai and Hiroki both looked out the window frequently. Nakamura simply lowered the window to reveal a complete view.

Such mountain and forest scenery is rare even in Nakamura himself.

Although he grew up in an orphanage, the orphanage was located in the suburbs of Tokyo, only about fifty kilometers away from the most prosperous area in the city center.

Poor as hell, but not at all inconvenient to transportation.

Conan asked curiously, "Brother Sugiyama, where is your home?"

The view of Sugiyama was like a blank sheet of paper, without any precautions. "It's in Yahara. It's located in Kumamoto Prefecture, and there are forests nearby."

Toru Amuro knew the geographical location very well, "Did you come here by plane?"

Sugiyama Kei's expression was a little stiff, and he said vaguely: "...Absolutely."

After driving on the winding mountain road for another half an hour, we finally reached our destination.

What we entered was a huge single-family Japanese-style building located halfway up the mountain. The doors and windows were made of paper. It was an ancient style building with quite a historical charm.

Everyone got out of the car one after another.

"It's really rare to find such a well-preserved Japanese-style house on such a mountainside."

"It's most likely a villa belonging to a wealthy family, and someone is assigned to maintain it."

Sugiyama Kei happily ran to the door. Before he could knock on the door, a chubby white lucky cat jumped out of nowhere.

"Good morning, Mr. Cat."

"Good morning! You didn't go home all night. Where did you go?!" The Lucky Cat flew up and kicked Sugiyama Kage's face, causing him to sit on his butt and fall to the ground.

Sugiyama Kei's voice was pitiful and a little aggrieved, "I was wrong, I didn't mean to do it."

After that, one person and one cat communicated with each other as if no one else was around.

The scene of the lucky cat meowing and communicating with children surprised everyone. The Maori family's leopard was not the only cat that was so special that it could understand human speech.

Most of the group of people have seen the special characteristics of leopards, and only Haiyuan is not familiar with it at all.

With Toru Amuro nearby, she naturally adhered to the principle of doing more than doing less. She didn't even ask, and just followed Nakamura quietly.

While everyone was listening carefully to the exchange between one person and one cat, trying to collect more information.

The sliding door suddenly opened from the inside, and a man in a kimono stood in the room without taking a step out. He had brown hair, a handsome face, and a bookish air, and his slightly frowned eyebrows showed a somewhat melancholy temperament.

"Teacher Cat, Xiaojing, what are you doing?"

The sound was not loud, but the noisy Xiao Jing and Lucky Cat stopped immediately.

Xiaojing quickly got up and ran to the man, "Brother, I'm back."

The Lucky Cat quickly jumped onto the brown-haired man's shoulder and acted as a qualified pendant.

The man touched the boy's head soothingly, "Just come back. Don't run around next time. Pay attention to safety."

"I know I'm safe with Tanuki-chan by my side."

"Even so, be careful."

The brown-haired man gave the child a few words before looking at the crowd of people behind him.

"who are they?"

Sugiyama Kei reacted belatedly and quickly introduced: "Brother, when I was playing on the beach last night, I met the injured sister Xiaolan and helped her return to the hotel.

These are her friends and relatives who sent me back specially. "

The brown-haired man nodded gently to everyone, "Thank you for taking care of my brother."

Although polite, there was a sense of distance, and the arrival of the group was obviously not welcome.

Tohru Amuro was ready to take the initiative to talk. He would only be willing to get some information if he took extraordinary actions.

Xiaolan's voice suddenly sounded, "Um... are you Brother Natsume?"

The brown-haired man heard the voice and came over, "I am Natsume Takashi, who are you?"

Xiaolan became happy, "Sure enough, I am Mao Lilan. We met once in the forest about ten years ago. Leopard was also there at the time. We also agreed to come over to play at home. Brother Natsume, do you still remember?"

"Leopard?" The brown-haired man's face changed slightly. He looked at Xiaolan carefully and naturally noticed Conan standing next to Xiaolan. "Are you the two children with Leopard? I remember they were called Ran and Shinichi’s.”

"Yes, the leopard was originally going to come with us today, but now he doesn't know where he has gone."

The brown-haired man's expression finally softened, "I'm sorry for being so negligent before. Come in. As for Leopard, he was taken away by Dahei. He will come back when he has had enough fun."

Several adults looked at each other, never expecting that they would receive an invitation because of a cat.

Although the brown-haired man let them into the house, he didn't say much and could only exchange a few words with Xiaolan.

The job of introduction was naturally handed over to Xiaolan.

After introducing each other and exchanging simple greetings, the tea-haired man stood up and left, leaving only Sugiyama Kei's child to entertain them.

The atmosphere was awkward for a moment.

Sugiyama Kei quickly explained, "I'm sorry, the family has undergone tremendous changes recently, and my brother can't recover for a while."

Fei Yingli said understandingly: "That's it. If there's anything we can do to help, please feel free to tell us."

Sugiyama Kei shook his head, "Just let my brother rest for a while, but I'm afraid I have to prepare lunch by myself. My brother and I didn't bring much food when we came here."

Everyone thought they were coming to a B&B with a boss, but now they realized that there was only a pair of brothers here, and they were naturally embarrassed to eat and drink for free.

Xiaolan said with great interest, "It doesn't matter. There should be a wide variety of wild vegetables nearby. I know a lot of them and can cook."

"There are indeed quite a variety of wild vegetables here, and there are also a lot of prey nearby. It's no problem if you want to eat meat," Sugiyama Kage said with an innocent face, "I'm pretty good at hunting."

Hagiwara asked in surprise: "Can Xiaojing know how to hunt at such a young age?"

Sugiyama Kei smiled and nodded in response without explaining much.

Not very familiar with it, it was hard for everyone to ask too many questions, but they all had some concerns in their minds.

It is an eternal truth to rely on the mountains to eat the mountains, and to rely on the sea to eat the sea.

The group of people divided into several groups, and the children were led by Xiao Jing to dig wild vegetables in the nearby area. The adults naturally had work to do as well.

Mouri Kogoro volunteered to go fishing, and Amuro Toru said that his fishing skills were also good.

Hagiwara, Matsuda and Date planned to wander around the mountains and forests, maybe they could find some rabbits, matsutake, mushrooms, etc., which would also be a good snack.

Not to mention, from the beach to the mountains and forests, their trip was quite rich.
