the other side.

Ye Gengichi, who has basically mastered the terrain of Kitanosawa Village, is sitting in the passenger seat of Takehiko Muto's car, ready to go to the hotel to use a laptop computer for the final summary.

Suddenly, he made a soft 'huh' sound, and his eyes fell on the five familiar figures at the end of his line of sight.

"It's a child, why can't you see an adult, can't it be lost?"

Takehiko Muto was stunned, and then slowed down and stopped next to the five young detectives.

The windows are lowered.

Seeing the co-pilot seat, Ye Gengyi stared at him with dead fish eyes. Although he didn't say anything, Conan still read the content and shouted that he was wronged...Hey, why are you looking at him! The one who sneaked out first was not me, really not me!

"Brother Gengyi!" The three little heads greeted.

"You know each other?" Muto Yuehiko was curious.

"Well, a few children who are very adventurous."

Ye Gengyi made a comment, and after opening the door and getting off the car, he directly asked a certain boss: "Conan, what's going on?"

Don't lock the suspicion on me as soon as you encounter similar things... Conan slandered, with a bitter face, and sneaked Mitsuhiko, Genta, and Ayumi out to drive snowmobiles like this, while he He Huiyuanai explained the whole story of coming out to find someone after hearing the distress signal.

Still not convinced?

After Ye Geng heard it, he didn't get used to him, and directly reprimanded him:

"Really? So why didn't you tell the doctor and Mr. Mao Li directly from the beginning, and just ran out with Xiao Ai to find someone, what to do if you encounter danger?"

Ah, this... Conan choked.

It seems, it seems, there is a high probability... There is no excuse.

"Ability is not used in this place."

Ye Gengyi picked up the snowmobile and continued to ask: "If Mr. Muto is a kidnapper, what will you do?"

Takehiko Muto: "..."

Suddenly it became a negative teaching material... But people are educating children, so I should keep silent...

Conan: "..."

I have anesthesia injections, foot strength-enhancing shoes, and a football belt... Of course, I can only say this in my heart. If I dare to refute it, the detective's premonition tells him that Brother Gengyi will definitely take advantage of the situation to clean himself up...

Haibara Ai:"…"

This person should have come up with a bad taste again. It's better to pretend to be a transparent person, not to be implicated... Besides, who is this man surnamed Muto?

Three children: "..."

Just, I suddenly feel that Conan is so pitiful... Next time, don't be so self-willed and sneak out to play...

…

After thanking Takehiko Muto.

A group of people boarded the car and returned to the hotel.

Conan called Mao Lilan to report his safety, and was curious about the relationship between Ye Gengyi and Muto Yueyan.

But when he thought that he had just finished training, he could only bump Hui Yuanai with his arm and cast a flattering look.

It shouldn't be a problem... Hui Yuanai began to think in silence.

This is what she will do whenever she encounters a stranger after knowing that Ye Gengyi is a member of the organization.

Suddenly, a hypothetical question from a cadre of an organization came to mind:

"If Mr. Muto is the kidnapper, what will you do?"

I didn't feel the atmosphere of the organization, wait a minute... Could it be that brother Gengyi didn't have a bad taste, but was deliberately reminding me not to worry?

Hui Yuanai blinked and said:

"Why did you go to the hotel so late?"

"In the afternoon, please ask Mr. Muto to be your guide and take me around the back mountain." Ye Gengyi said.

This question will be asked sooner or later, and with Takehiko Muto by his side, there is no need for him to hide it.

Near the back mountain?

Based on this general description alone, Conan really couldn't figure out the specific scope, so the topic had already been opened, and he asked along the way:

"Huh? Is Mr. Muto the village guide? I was planning to go to Lake Sawajiri to see swans, but unfortunately I lost my way."

"No," Muto Yuehiko explained, "I just built a hut on the back mountain to live in by myself, and my job is to carve owls..."

"Carving an owl?"

The three children recalled the exquisite wood carvings in the souvenir shop, and asked: "So those are all carved by my uncle? It's amazing..."

"Awesome...? Hehe, they are really polite children." Muto Yuehiko's tone was full of weirdness.

"I'm sorry," Conan asked suspiciously, "Uncle, did we say something wrong?"

"Didn't you make those wood carvings, Uncle?" Mitsuhiko couldn't help asking.

"No, I did do those, but..."

Muto Yueyan hesitated and looked sideways at Ye Gengyi.

The latter suddenly turned cold, "Watch the road, drive hard!"

"Well..." Takehiko Muto hurriedly followed suit.

Hey, what happened to these two people?

Conan was even more puzzled.

Takehiko Muto did not forget to explain, "Because my carving level is not enough in front of this Mr. Ye, so you don't need to praise me for being amazing..."

"Eh???"

Everyone was surprised.

Hui Yuanai also looked curiously at Ye Gengyi in the co-pilot seat... What skills does this person have that he doesn't know?

Immediately, the three little heads expressed their desire for the gift carved by Ye Gengyi.

This made Takehiko Muto both helpless and a little envious.

His residence is a bit remote, but his personality is not lonely... Otherwise, he would not have lost to Ye Gengyi in wood carving, and even acted as a tour guide to take him to visit near the reservoir.

Conan waited for the noise of the children to quiet down.

Although he was also surprised by Ye Geng's inadvertently revealed skills, he did not forget the original purpose.

...With Gengichi's character, it is absolutely impossible that he went to the back mountain to find Mr. Muto because he wanted to compare his carving skills with others.

And aside from these, the rest can only be related to the subway bombing!

He seized the opportunity and asked:

"Strange, Mr. Muto, why do you live in the back mountain?"

"Because the place where I used to live was flooded by that reservoir..." Muto Yuehiko said.

really!

Conan's eyes lit up, "That...isn't it Mr. Muto who is the one who opposes the construction of the reservoir in the end?"

"Yes ~lightnovelpub.net~ is me."

Muto Yuehiko's face was a little gloomy, "The villagers who originally opposed all agreed to move to an alternative place in the village. That kind of place... that kind of place! I don't care about it!"

He growled, and saw through the rearview mirror that several children were obviously frightened by him, so he quickly slowed down his tone:

"Ah... I'm sorry, when I talk about this, I get a little emotional, I'm really sorry, didn't I scare you?"

"Uh, a little bit..."

Mitsuhiko, Genta, and Ayumi, recalling Conan's description of "words" in the snow, suddenly felt that the uncle in front of him must be a good person, and they all said with a smile:

"But that's okay!"
