Leisure Holiday [Comprehensive]

Sakura didn't expect to see the boy who passed her by so soon again.

At first, she was just a little curious about why the clear spiritual power she felt at that moment was similar to that of a monster, so she stopped, but she didn't want to go deeper.It was unexpected that the young man would find this place by himself.

Sakura looked at the boy without blinking, and the boy looked at Sakura curiously.For a while, the two just looked at each other like this, but they didn't say anything.

It wasn't until the young man at the side coughed lightly that he couldn't stand it anymore, and then the two looked back at the same time.The boy turned his face sideways in embarrassment, as if he was ashamed of his somewhat rude behavior.

Sakura walked down the stairs as if nothing had happened, and walked in front of the young man, her eyes fell on the monster tied up behind him.

"The next name is Monday, and he is an exorcist." The young man took off the fisherman's hat he was wearing, and said to Sakura with a modest smile on his lips.

Sakura moved her gaze away from the teary-eyed youkai, and looked at the young man in front of her.

Brown hair, red pupils, glasses, modest smile but a slight sense of alienation.

This is Sakura's first impression of Natori Monday.

After Natori Monday introduced herself, Sakura blinked and said, "Sakura, you can call me Sakura. Excuse me..."

After listening to Sakura's words on Monday, Natori didn't show too much expression on his face, but he couldn't help but care about it in his heart.The girl in front of him didn't give her full name, and he could tell that it wasn't out of suspicion or caution, but just out of habit.However, it is conceivable how such a habit is developed and why it is done so.Like youkai, there are some people among humans who regard names as extremely important, and will not easily tell others their real names.Especially for Shinto people.There was even a saying in the past that "names are the shortest mantras".

So, will this child be a Shinto person?

Natori Monday made a mistake, and his eyes inadvertently fell on Izumi Mori Kanesada and Horikawa Kunihiro who were following behind Sakura.The awe-inspiring aura of the two made him instantly see the fact that they were not "living people", but the aura did not look like a monster or a shikigami.

"Fusangshen..." Natori Yiyi murmured.When Sakura looked over strangely, he quickly calmed down, remembering the purpose of coming this time, he gently tugged the white rope in his hand.The monster tied behind him was pulled in front of him.

"Does Miss Sakura know it?" Natori asked Monday.

Sakura didn't answer right away, she turned her head slightly, avoiding the sight of the monster calling for help, and said, "This is not a place to talk, why don't you go in first?" She looked at the boy and the chubby dog ​​in his arms. Du's creature, "That... what do you call the two of you?"

The boy who was asked was stunned for a moment, then looked at Sakura and bowed slightly: "I am Takashi Natsume, and this is Teacher Cat."

Sakura returned the gift: "Hello."

After exchanging pleasantries, Sakura once again proposed to invite the two into the room for a detailed discussion.Natori was a little hesitant on Monday, the house that popped up more than a month ago was really weird, not only that, but the strange enchantment in the woods also made him puzzled like the monk Zhang Er.Ordinary people set up barriers to stop "people who can see" like him, but the barriers in the woods seem to be set up only for ordinary people, and they don't seem to want them to break in.

But at the moment when Natori Yiyi was hesitating, the cat-sensei who was held in Natsume's arms broke free, jumped into the gate in two or three times, and disappeared in a flash.

Natsume scratched his cheek in embarrassment, not knowing what to say for a while.

Natori Zhou clenched the hat in his hand, laughed dryly, and gritted his teeth, "That fat cat..."

At this point, Natori and Natsume had no reason to refuse, and accepted Sakura's invitation.

Although he was put together by the kitten and had to go into this house, Natori did not intend to let himself and Natsume go to an unknown place.The hand hanging by his side moved slightly, and a gust of wind suddenly lifted up, stirring up some grass clippings.

In the next second, two screams were heard in his ears.

As soon as Natsume turned around, he saw Mr. Natori's Shikigami Guaji and Sasago groaning/groaning in pain on the ground outside the gate.

Sakura, who had already crossed the threshold and was leading the way, turned around, and smiled at Natori Monday and Natsume, "Sorry, I forgot to say. You will be injured if you enter without invitation. So, please leave Main entrance."

Natori Monday took a deep breath and said with a smile, "I was the one to be rude."

Sakura nodded slightly, and continued walking inside without saying anything more.

"Do you mean not to act rashly..." Natori Monday didn't expect that his small movements behind his back would be stopped in this way, and it also caused Guaji and Sasahou to be injured.Facing Natsume's worried gaze, Natori shook his head slightly.

And the monster caught by Natori seemed to have taken a reassurance. Before that, he looked like he was crying and a catastrophe was imminent, but now he almost didn't laugh out loud like it was raining.

Natsume was a little worried about Mr. Cat, who had disappeared without a trace. It acted like it broke in by itself, but don't be thrown out like Guaji and the others!

Several people with their own thoughts walked through the front yard, but none of them paid attention to the scenery here.

When she was about to walk to the front of the house, Sakura saw Conan and Hattori running over in a hurry.It should be heading towards the door.

"Conan, Hattori-kun, where are you two going?" Sakura stopped them with a puzzled look on her face.

Conan and Hattori also saw Sakura and the two people behind her. They ran over and didn't say anything in detail. They just said that they had to go to the police station to deal with something.

It turned out that during the time when Sakura and Natori were talking on Monday, Mori Kogoro and Hattori Heiji, who were having breakfast, received communications from the police one after the other.Mori Kogoro was informed that the poaching suspect who escaped in a dangerous way yesterday has been arrested and brought to justice, so Mr. Mori need not worry.After hearing the news, Mori Kogoro immediately felt relieved, and was so happy that Mitsutada took out wine to celebrate, but fortunately, Xiaolan stopped him.Anyway, drinking early in the morning is too much!

Not long after Mori Kogoro hung up the phone, Hattori received a call from Police Officer Ito.On the phone, Officer Ito briefly explained the follow-up matters and then talked about the "murder weapon" made of jelly.The police copied a knife that Matsumoto Akemi used to commit the murder through restoration methods, but the results of the experiment showed that the sharpness of the knife and the strength of Matsumoto Akemi could not kill him with one blow, even if the deceased had been drinking before. It is also difficult to administer tranquilizers.

In other words, the jelly kitchen knife can indeed injure people, but it is impossible to kill people with a single blow to the neck, after excluding accidental factors.To cut the carotid artery of the deceased needs at least two or three additional cuts.However, the wound of the deceased showed that he was killed by one blow, and the neat and clean only incision was obviously completely different from the experimental results obtained by the police.

The fact that the murder weapon was a jelly knife seems to be ruled out.But what puzzled the police was that the jelly brought back from Matsumoto Akemi did contain blood and skin tissue of the deceased after testing.What's even more strange is that Kakuda Shingo, who has been cleared of suspicion and released, still insists that he saw the murderer as a monster and has nothing to do with Matsumoto Akemi.

Conan and Hattori couldn't sit still anymore.The two of them greeted each other and ran outside, and happened to meet Sakura who came back with a "guest".

Hearing that the two were going to the police station, Sakura was taken aback, and then her eyes fell on the youkai tied behind Natori.

Seeing that the monster still looked ignorant when it met her gaze, Sakura couldn't help but sighed, and immediately said to Conan and Hattori a little weakly: "It's because of Ms. Akemi Matsumoto's case."

Conan and Hattori were surprised at the same time.They never mentioned the case in the cafe to anyone. Even if Xiaolan and the others asked about it later, they found a reason to ignore it.And because the police temporarily blocked the news, the case was not exposed in the news media.So, why would Sakura know the name "Matsumoto Akemi"?

Seeing the surprised looks of the two, Sakura sighed again and said, "Before going to the police station, Conan and Hattori-kun should come here together, after all, you are also one of the parties involved."

After speaking, Sakura looked at Natori and the youkai bound by him.

Natori Monday frowned and thought for a while, followed Sakura's gaze to look at the monster behind him, his eyes flickered as if he understood something.

Conan and Hattori don't know what medicine is sold in Sakura's gourd.They also followed Sakura's gaze, but saw nothing.

Conan thought of something and was startled for a while, then he ran to Sakura and quietly tugged at her sleeve, and after Sakura bent down, he whispered in her ear, "Is the incident with Ms. Akemi Matsumoto related to a monster?" Something about ghosts or something?"

"..." Sakura was a little speechless when she heard what Conan said - because of his strong ability to accept.

Sakura nodded slightly and said, "Let's go back to the room and talk."

Conan let go of Sakura and walked back to Hattori's side.After whispering a few words with him, Hattori called Police Officer Ito with a dark face, saying that he would arrive at the police station later.

Sakura looked at the increased number of interviewees, thought for a while, and brought them to the study on the second floor.

And after several people sat down in the study room, Mr. Cat, who had disappeared without a trace at the beginning, came out with a grilled squid that came from nowhere in his mouth, and jumped onto Natsume's shoulder to lay down on Natsume's shoulder. While chewing the squid, You unconsciously yelled, "It will be perfect with some wine!"

Teacher Mao's voice is not loud, but it is very clear in this study.

Because Conan and Hattori, who looked like ordinary people, were sitting on the opposite side, Natsume was so frightened that he quickly pulled Mr. Kitty off his shoulders and tightly covered its mouth.

Sakura glanced at the "big fat cat" struggling in Natsume's arms, coughed lightly and said, "Natsume-kun, you don't have to worry, Conan and Hattori-kun..." She paused when talking about Hattori, seeing Conan He continued without saying anything, "They are also considered insiders."

Conan showed an innocent and lovely smile. Anyway, he has seen a fox talk, so what is a cat?

Conan is calm enough, but for Hattori who has never seen Honosuke speak, it can be said that the talking cat is the first time he has seen it.I was so frightened that I was sweating profusely, and my limbs became stiff.

However, Sakura's words seemed to have misunderstood Natsume. He let go of the hand covering Teacher Kitty's mouth, looked at Conan and Hattori with some hesitation, and asked, "Can they see it too?"

see what?Monsters and ghosts, of course!

Sakura shook her head regretfully, and Conan also said beside him: "Brother Heiji can't see it like Sister Sakura, but I simply know of these existences!"

Natsume showed a little regret when he heard this.

However, Natori suddenly interjected at this moment: "Do you believe when you can't see it?"

Conan thought for a while and replied: "I can't say I believe it, I just know that there are such existences in the world." After finishing speaking, Conan turned his head to look at Sakura, and there was a bit of unspeakable meaning in his eyes. Natori Yiyi, an experienced exorcist, couldn't understand the meaning of Conan's eyes for a while.

At this time, Hattori on the side clenched his hands into fists and put them next to his mouth, coughed a little stiffly, and after attracting everyone's attention, he said, "Can we start talking about business?"
