Friday, February 27th, evening, rest area at Shinjuku Pedestrian Street Mall.

Ninety-nine Fumino and Mei Daiko went to play with the electric, and Miyoshi Asako found Yamazaki, who had just finished thinking about things, "Isn't it you?"

"What?" said Yamazaki, "no head and no tail." ”

"I remember one thing," said Miyoshi Asako, "when I was a child, I heard my brother mention that my master's family is related to a family surnamed Yamazaki. ”

"You're mistaken. Yamazaki said.

"It can't be. Miyoshi Asako said angrily, "This is what my brother said a few days before he died, although I was still young at that time, but the memory of that time, I have always remembered in my mind." ”

"That's your brother who got it wrong. Yamazaki said, "Your master has no family, some are just a inheritance of skills, passed down from generation to generation, and the winner will change his surname to Botian, and ninety-nine may be your master's own surname." ”

"Is this true?Then why have you never heard Master mention it?" asked Miyoshi Asako, and then asked in surprise, "Could it be that my brother ......?"

"Yes," said Yamazaki, "if he passes the test, he will be the next generation of Hakuda." Then he said, "Otherwise, what do you think it is for? Jealous of the apprentice's talent, afraid that he will not have anything to eat after being surpassed? Don't laugh, you must know that without the introduction of the master and the relationship network of the master, it is almost impossible for the apprentice to become famous." There are too many ways for the master to suppress his apprentice, so why risk going to prison to kill him. ”

"If you don't pass this test," Miyoshi Asako asked in a deep voice, "then do you have to die?"

"Not bad. Yamazaki said, " According to their own words, the surname Botian originated from the Baichuan Bowang family who was once in charge of the Eight Gods Temple, this skill is passed down by the Huashan Emperor, but there are also legends that Xu Fu brought it when he crossed to the east, when did it appear, how many generations have been passed down I am afraid that no one knows now, it is said that there were people who wanted to spread the branches, but then there was infighting between the disciples, and many people who died for decades died, and finally there was a door left, and since then it has begun to be passed down from generation to generation, and the test of life and death is to test the ability and luck of the next generation, as far as I know, for hundreds of years, so there are not a few。 ”

"So, what exactly is this skill?" asked Asako Miyoshi.

"I only know that the foundation of this skill is in my fingers, and I don't know anything else. Yamazaki said, "But according to the data, it should be a technology for making and manipulating mechanisms. ”

"You mean puppet manipulation, just for this kind of rotten magic played by children, killing people for thousands of years?" Miyoshi Asako questioned.

"Puppet manipulation is just a magic trick for exercising your fingers, I'm sure it's not. Yamazaki said, "Let's put it this way, a life-size doll that can go into battle to kill enemies is the result of this skill. Operate eight or more invulnerable dolls made of special materials, and take people's heads with just your fingers. Of course, that was in ancient times, in modern times, and this thing is probably just a plaything, a plaything that is very troublesome to make, so that your master has not made it for a long time, and even the previous ones have been corroded by time, so you have never seen it. Specifically, you should ask your master. ”

After a pause, Miyoshi Asako asked, "Is he really not dead and was saved by your people?"

"Pretty much. Yamazaki said.

Miyoshi Asako sighed, "Okay, it looks like I'm going to jail." ”

"Not really, you can stay with Mr. Ninety-Nine if you wish. Yamazaki laughed, "He decided to pass on some of that skill to you and make you his assistant." Then he glanced at Ninety-Nine Wennai, "Maybe you can learn all of them in the future, don't you want to fulfill your brother's wish?"

"Fumino?" Miyoshi Asako thought for a moment and said, "I see, this is to borrow my hand to test Fumino." Then he asked, "Isn't he afraid that I'll actually kill her?"

At this time, a man in his forties came over, "Seriously, I was scared, so I went to the hospital in order not to worry about it, and now I have survived." Although this era is not as good as before, I also think that this skill can no longer withstand this kind of test, but there is no way, who let me receive this kind of education since I was a child? This problem will be solved by Wen Nai later. ”

Looking at the man in front of him, who looked to be only seventy or eighty kilograms, Miyoshi Asako asked in surprise, "You, you are my master?"

Ninety-nine Yuankang smiled: "Yes, I went for a bariatric surgery and lay in bed for a few days, so no matter how worried I am, I'm just worried." Then he asked, "Mazi, speaking of which, I also want to thank you, let the previous things pass, what do you think?"

"It can't be. Miyoshi Asako said, "Anyway, you killed my brother." ”

"And what do you want?" asked Ninety-Nine Yuankang.

"I," Miyoshi Asako sighed after a pause, "I don't know either." ”

"Then follow me and think slowly. Ninety-nine Yuankang said, "You should know that we have always treated you as our own daughter. ”

Miyoshi Asako thought for a while and said, "Okay." ”

"Okay, since you're here, Mr. Ninety-Nine, then I can go. Yamazaki said.

Ninety-nine Yuan Kang saluted and said, "Thank you." ”

"You're welcome. Yamazaki said, then added, "By the way, there's one more thing. Then he repeated the speculation about the disappearance of Ninety-Nine Yuankang.

"Okay, I got it. Ninety-nine Yuankang said.

At this time, Ninety-Nine Wennai came over, looked at Ninety-Nine Yuankang's appearance, thought about it suspiciously, and said happily: "You, you are your father." ”

"That's good. Ninety-nine Yuankang picked up his daughter and kissed her hard, "So you can recognize your father." ”

"Dad, where have you been these days, I miss you so much," Ninety-Nine Fumino asked, "Where's my birthday present?"

Ninety-nine Yuankang was stunned for a moment, and then asked with a smile: "Wen Nai, do you miss your father, or do you want a birthday gift?" ”

"I want both. Ninety-nine Wennai smiled embarrassedly, and then kissed Ninety-Nine Yuankang on the face, "Can you tell me where the gift is now." ”

"Looks like I still want more gifts. Ninety-nine Yuankang smiled, "Okay, the gift is here, I will give myself to you." ”

"What," said Ninety-Nine Wennai, "Daddy's speech is not a word, I hate it." ”

"It's not even midnight. Yamazaki reminded.

"By the way," Ninety-Nine Yuankang smiled, "It's not there yet." ”

Mei Daiko asked, "Are you Mr. Ninety-Nine?" Shouldn't you be a fat man?"

"Had a bariatric surgery. Ninety-nine Yuankang said with a smile.

"That's good, it looks a lot of energy. Mei Daiko said.

"Thank you. Ninety-nine Yuankang said.

"Alright, let's go. Yamazaki said to Maidiko.

"Good. Mei Daizi said, "Fumino, goodbye, Sister Asako, goodbye." ”……

Soon after, on the other side, in the car.

Mori receives a call from Yamazaki and learns that Kujiu has arrived at the mall.

"What did you say?" asked Maori in surprise, "Mr. Ninety-Nine in the mall?"

"Yes. Yamazaki said.

Maori asked, "What happened to him?"

"I didn't ask him, uncle, you can ask yourself," Yamazaki said, "I'm on my way home now." ”

"Okay, I see. Maori said. ……

More than half an hour later, the mall of Shinjuku Pedestrian Street.

Mori, Ran, Conan, Kukunineshichi, Sanada Ichizo, and Hyakchi Hiroshi came looking for them.

Seeing the great change in appearance, Ninety-Nine Seven Hui asked in surprise: "You, ...... are you?"

"It's Daddy, Mommy. Ninety-nine Wennai said with some joy, "Dad has become better-looking." ”

"I'm sorry, Nanae, I went for a bariatric surgery, so I was delayed for a few days. Ninety-nine Yuankang said, "I'm worried about you." ”

"Husband. Ninety-nine-seven Hui threw herself into Ninety-Nine Yuankang's arms and cried.

"Alright, alright, there's a lot of people here. Ninety-nine Yuankang smiled, "If there is anything to talk about later, you can take Wennai to play with Mazi first." ”

Ninety-nine-seven Hui wiped her tears and took Ninety-Nine Wenno to the mall with Miyoshi Asako.

"You're the sleeping Kogoro, Detective Maori, right?" Ninety-nine Yuankang smiled, "I have admired the Daimyo for a long time, and it's a pleasure to meet you, under Ninety-Nine Yuanyasu." ”

"I have long admired your name. Maori laughed, then asked, "By the way, can you ask what happened that day?"

"I'm sorry, in fact, I accidentally had a magic accident," Jiujiu Yuankang said, "Although I spit out the capsule myself, I was still poisoned, I wasn't sure how much I absorbed, I was afraid that I would do this magic again after the accident, so I left a code to remind Mazi, which means that if I repeat it once, it will be my consequence." ”

"I am, I see. Maori said.

Conan asked, "Is that really the case?"

Ninety-nine Yuankang smiled: "Of course, children, if you are not afraid of pain, writing in blood is actually a good method." ”

"That's right. Maori laughed.

Conan asked, "Then why don't you call an ambulance?"

"I called, I called an old friend and asked him to come and save me. Ninety-nine Yuankang said with a smile, "I heard that he came almost when there was a dead end in the monitoring system, and on a whim, I wanted to surprise my daughter and let him enter and exit in those thirty seconds." ”

Maori asked, "Do you know that blind spot in your surveillance system?"

"Yes," Ninety-nine Yuankang said, "because of the dust, it affects the swing of the surveillance camera, I don't think the problem is too big, so I don't bother to find someone to adjust, those guys are not welcome to collect money." ”

Hiroshi asked, "Then Master, how did you get out?"

"It's very simple, using a long pole stretcher, two people in front and two people in front and two people to carry me out, and after I went out, I was pulled to the tree by some people with a rope at once, the surveillance camera is not night vision, as long as you hold up a black cloth to fool it. Ninety-nine Yuankang smiled, "Then you can slowly enter the woods." ”

Sanada Kazuzo said: "I see, wallpaper in disguise. ”

"I'm sorry, Detective Maori, for bothering you. Ninety-nine Yuankang said, "I will send the commission fee." ”

"How embarrassing is that. Maori rubbed his hands together and smiled, and then said, "Then I won't bother you to celebrate my daughter's birthday, goodbye, Mr. Ninety-Nine." ”……

After that, in order to save money on the rental car in a hurry, Maori took Ran and Conan to return the rented car, and then walked home. ……
