Several monks had fixed seats, and the other small tables were prepared for the guests. Hongye was originally sitting on the far side, and Shiraishi was about to sit next to her, when Mori Kogoro teleported over and sat down, nothing happened. Pick up a conversation like a happening: "The weather is really nice tonight."
"..." Baishi looked at the crackling raindrops outside the window, and listened to the howling wind, and sat down on the side seat speechlessly.
Conan instinctively chose the seat farthest from Hongye, Mao Lilan glared at her father with murderous eyes, and sat down heavily on the only remaining seat.
Picking up chopsticks to take a few mouthfuls of rice, Mao Lilan suddenly felt something was wrong.
She turned her head to look at Baishi, but saw that the young man who didn't talk much didn't take off his mask, but poked the hole in the bowl with chopsticks in boredom. She asked curiously, "Aren't you going to eat it?"
Most of the detective's partners are more outgoing, which may be more convenient to trigger the plot.
Shiraishi glanced at her and shook his head.Hongye also noticed the situation here and helped explain:
"Don't worry about him, he..." After all, the new employee is not Shiraishi, and he is not so quick to tell lies. Time is running out, Hongye glanced at the bowl in front of Shiraishi, and subconsciously said the most striking thing: "He is allergic to rice .”
"!?" Mori Kogoro was stunned. Although he had indeed heard of such a person, this was the first time he saw a living one. He turned to look at Shiraishi, "Then what do you usually eat?"
The skinny monk Mu Nian on the opposite side also raised his head, and got up very unhappy: "Why didn't you say it earlier! I have to cook your noodles again."
Hongye knew very well why Shiraishi didn't eat and lied. After doing the beginning, things went smoothly. She blurted out: "No, I'm allergic to wheat."
"..." The whole table looked at Baishi like a fairy, the old abbot twitched his eyebrows twice, and asked him with a little service mentality, "What can you eat?"
"Millet."
It was Hongye who answered again. She casually made up a food that was not always available in the island country, and then cut off the topic amidst the embarrassing faces of the monks:
"Don't worry, we already ate in the car, and we only came here because we didn't want to sleep in the car."
The monks breathed a sigh of relief.
"Is that really the case?" Conan suspiciously stopped picking up the vegetables.
His gaze paused for a while on Hongye, who made him feel dangerous, and then looked at Shiraishi. If it weren't for the fact that the two of them were separated by Mori Kogoro, Hongye's hands would also be exposed on the table, not holding a gun. , Conan almost suspected that Shiraishi had been kidnapped: "Uncle, why haven't you spoken?"
Shiraishi glanced at Hongye, and continued to wait for the temporary spokesperson to explain, but Kogoro Mori was well-informed and had a guess.
He took his chopsticks and pointed Conan in the air: "Don't inquire about other people's privacy! Eat well!"
He lowered his head and took two bites, then turned his head again, held up a piece of lotus root and said to Hongye: "Beautiful lady, look at this tender lotus root, does it look like your slender hands..."
"Dad! Don't bother others!"
Mao Lilan was very angry, but at the same time, she was also a little lucky.
With such an earthy way of striking up a conversation, no one will pay attention to him except his mother...
……
Halfway through the meal, Conan finally turned his attention away from Shiraishi and other suspicious people, and remembered another thing he cared about.
He asked a few monks who were chatting opposite: "By the way, I've always wanted to ask—what is Wutiangou?"
"!" Kuan Nian's strong eyebrows furrowed again, not only him, but also other monks reacted abnormally.
"Fog Tiangou" has indeed brought a little popularity to this small ruined temple.
Regarding this unique signboard, Abbot Tianyong is not as secretive as his disciples:
"This is just an unfounded legend - this kind of dog will sneak into the village like fog on rainy nights, break through the walls of people's houses, kidnap good people, and then fly to a high place with the corpses and hang them up Eat it. The ones taken away are all young girls with delicate skin and tender flesh..."
Seeing Mao Lilan's face gradually turning blue, Abbot Tianyong felt a sense of accomplishment in telling stories.
He suddenly pointed at Mao Lilan: "That's right, just like you!"
Bai Shi only felt a gust of wind blowing by the side of his face, and with a whimper, Mao Lilan hid behind him - on the other side was Conan, who was too small to stop her.
Abbot Tianyong was amused by the little girl's reaction, and waved his hands cheerfully: "Of course, this is just a legend, please don't take it to heart."
"But the legend could also be true."
The irritable monk Mu Nian suddenly panicked at this moment, he whispered, "Two years ago, a similar suspicious case happened, our temple..."
"Mu Nian!" Kuan Nian's wide eyebrows were tightly frowned again, Mu Nian took a look at the elder brother and stopped talking.
"Tell me, maybe we can help..."
At some point, Mao Lilan moved to the side of Kogoro Moori, tightly hugged Kogoro Moori's arm, and never forgot to sell her father:
"My dad is a professional detective, so he will definitely help you solve the mystery." If she can't solve it, she might not be able to close her eyes tonight. This legend is too scary...
"Detective?" Mu Nian, who had already shut up, was a little moved.
But this time, the old monk stopped him: "When you are eating, don't talk about those disgusting topics. You don't eat or sleep. I think you haven't reached home yet."
Mu Nian and other disturbed companions lowered their heads in silence.But soon he took another sneak peek at Mori Kogoro, not sure if he was wary of him, or if he was planning to tell him a story in private for a while.
Baishi looked at the abbot, then at Kuan Nian, and felt that the two were comparable, both looked like the future dead.
However, in comparison, the abbot is more suspicious.
——He was having fun scaring people for the first minute, but when he heard that Mori Kogoro was a detective, he began to talk about "eating without speaking" in a serious manner, which was a bit contrary to harmony.
But this level is not enough to be safe...
Shiraishi looked at Hongye, raised his hand to attract her attention, and gestured a few times when she looked over.
If you are familiar with sign language, even if you don't have X carat, you will still have a kind of pleasure like making seals. Therefore, Shiraishi deliberately pursued hand speed when learning. Even though this skill is rarely used, his movements are not unfamiliar now.
