Chapter 0728: The Legend of the Flowing Mountains

On Friday, August 13th, in the evening, the garden rented Besso.

Yamazaki and Midaiko got out of the taxi and happened to bump into Sonoko and Kyogoku Mako, who were returning from a walk.

"Hey! Mei Daiko said hello.

"You're here. Yuan Zi smiled.

"Miss Midaiko, it's just right that you're here," Kyogoku asked, "When are you free?"

"If you fight, you can do it now. Mei Daiko smiled, and then noticed that the garden was glaring at her, and smiled at her, which can't be blamed on me.

"That's good. Kyogoku nodded and said, "Please!" as he spoke, he stood under the street lamp next to him.

Midaiko walked over and stood still, "Ready?"

Kyogoku Shin took half a step back with his right leg to pull off the stance, looked at Mei Daiko who was about three steps away, nodded and said, "Okay." ”

Midaiko's punch hit Kyogoku Ma's palms in front of his chest, causing Kyogoku to slide about a meter away.

"How, how is it possible!" Kyogoku muttered as he looked at his hands.

"Ah Zhen, are you alright?" said Yuanzi, "don't fight Mei Daizi, she has a lot of strength." ”

"It's not just about strength. Kyogoku said, and then asked, "Miss Midaiko, can you let me attack?"

"Yes, come on. Mei Daiko smiled.

"It's rude. Kyogoku said, then stepped forward and kicked her right leg forward at Midaiko's knee.

Mei Daiko didn't dodge, but bent down and pointed a knife at Kyogoku's right ankle, then changed the cut to grasp, grabbed Kyogoku's leg, and then let go of his hand and let him take his leg back.

"I'm sorry, I was negligent. Kyogoku asked, "But why don't you use a hand knife, I'm afraid my legs won't be able to stand it?"

"That's not it, it's just that you should attack. Mei Daiko said.

"Well, you can fight back. Kyogoku said.

"That's good. Mei Daiko said.

Sonoko asked Yamazaki, "Hey, what does Shin mean by negligence?"

"It's not a game, it's a game with a protector, so it's not easy to get caught when you attack below the knee," Yamazaki said. ”

"Attention. After Kyogoku finished speaking, he punched Midaiko in the face.

Mei Daiko raised a hand knife and slashed at Kyogoku's right wrist, unslashing Kyogoku's fist.

Retracting his right arm, Kyogoku Zhen rubbed his numb arm and said, "Your strength is really strong, and for me, it's not a good opponent." ”

"You and me, too. Midaiko shrugged and smiled.

"One last time. Kyogoku said, "Please give me another punch." ”

"No problem. Midaiko's punch hit Kyogoku Ma's palms in front of his chest, causing Kyogoku to slide about a meter away.

"Sure enough, something went wrong. Kyogoku asked, "Can you ask a question?"

Midaiko turned to look at Yamazaki, "Brother?"

Yamazaki said, "Mr. Kyogoku, you can ask. ”

"Why can't I punch?" Kyogoku asked, "I've made preparations, but why do I still block? Aside from my strength and the speed of my power transformation, where am I missing?"

"Heart. Yamazaki said, and continued, "Forgive me. ”

"It's nothing. Kyogoku pushed his glasses, laughed, and continued, "It's me who should say thank you, thank you." ”

"It's nothing. Yamazaki laughed.

"Garden, garden, I'll go first. Kyogoku said with a little blushing.

"Well, be careful on the road. Yuan Zi also said with a little blush.

As soon as Kyogoku Shin left, Sonoko immediately asked Mei Daiko, "Did you use your strength to bully Ah Zhen?"

"What a thing. Mei Daizi said angrily, "I didn't hurt him." ”

"Then a few more rounds," said Sonoko, "that whoever doesn't hurt him will break his heart." ”

"Please, if you really want to fight him for a few minutes, that's to tease him. Mei Daizi said helplessly, and continued, "Most of those on TV are acting, and a fight is often enough, such as attacking the face, if you can hit the cheek, you can hit the temple, and a punch in this place is enough." ”

Yuanzi smiled: "It seems that it is indeed correct not to let you play." ”

"It's just talking. Mei Daiko said.

Yuanzi asked, "Hey, the question Ah Zhen asked......

"It's just a waste of saliva to tell you," Mei Daiko asked with a smile, "And you're too lenient, aren't you?"

"What's going on, I haven't been as much as I told you just now. The garden said angrily.

"Isn't it?" Midaiko laughed, "I'm sorry about that." ”

"Don't laugh. Yuan Zi said pretending to be angry.

"That's good. Mei Daiko smiled and made a zipper gesture on her lips.

"Forget it, go back, save yourself feeding mosquitoes here. The garden said.

Midaiko smiled, "By the way, the weather report says that there will be heavy wind and rain in the next few days, but the strong wind will blow away the morning fog and clouds, and tomorrow morning you may be able to enjoy a rare view of reverse Fuji in the Fuji Five Lakes area." It is said that many people have been rushing overnight, and the number of temporary trains has increased considerably. ”

"What a coincidence, then I have to go to bed early tonight. Yuan Zi smiled.

Mei Daizi smiled: "Let's go, I don't know if Lan's supper is ready." ”……

The next day, Saturday, August 14th, morning, the garden rented Besso.

This Bessho is one of the best places to see "Inverted Fuji" on the shores of Lake Tanuki, and many people have been gathering outside since last night.

Due to the quarrel, the five Maori simply didn't sleep and played mahjong all night.

In the morning, as the sun rises, the moon hangs on both sides of Mt. Fuji and is reflected on the lake with Mt. Fuji, which is a rare sight of four stars shining together, and the entire lakeside is silenced for a while.

After a few moments, the moon was out of sight, and the lakeside was boiling and noisy.

After that, the five Maori ate breakfast made by Yamazaki and Ran, and then went back to their rooms to sleep until the afternoon, when they woke up one after another, and it didn't know when it started to rain heavily.

After a late lunch, the group set out on their way home in the heavy rain, first to return to Bessho, then to Shin-Fuji Station to return the rented car, and then to board the Shinkansen. ……

On the other side, Conan and his party also got up in the morning to watch the reverse Fuji, and then rehearsed until noon.

After lunch, Hajime Kaibe drove back to Rice Flower Town in a car with Conan and ten people in the heavy rain. ……

On Sunday, August 15th, heavy rain, rice flower civic hall.

Conan's ten people performed the puppet show "And Then Everyone Disappeared" on stage, which received a round of applause. Mori, Ran, Sonoko, Yamazaki, Maidako, Dr. Asasa, and Ashbara all went to watch. ……

In the afternoon, the Maori Detective Agency.

Ran found a letter of entrustment in the mailbox and handed it to Mori, who opened it and saw that it was a man named Shinichi Takeda in Rakury, Tottori Prefecture, who asked him to come over as soon as possible, preferably by tomorrow evening, with a deposit of 500,000 yen.

"Tottori Prefecture ......" Mori looked at Yamazaki.

"I pay for it at my own expense. Yamazaki laughed.

"Well," Conan asked tentatively, "can you take me with you?"

"It's okay at your own expense. Maori said angrily.

Conan puffed up his triangular eyes, "For this self-paying, if I say self-paying, you're going to have to collect rent again."

"Dad. Lan dissatisfied.

"The same goes for you. Mori said mercilessly, and continued, "You don't count, and if you add you, the cost of the road alone will exceed 100,000 yen, and there are no detectives in Tottori Prefecture? ”

"If you don't go, you won't go. Lan pouted. ……

The next day, Monday, August 16.

Mori and Yamazaki went to Haneda Airport to take a flight from Speed Airlines to Tottori Airport in Tottori Prefecture, then asked the police for the route to the Oro Ridge, got on a bus and went to the Oro Ridge, and when they got off the bus, they found that it was a small village, so they went to the village office, and a middle-aged clerk named Oshima received them.

Maori said, "Excuse me, is there a Takeda family here in Luojiling? Where does the family live, let's find Mr. Takeda Shinichi." ”

"The Takeda family?" said Oshima, "there is only one Takeda family here in the Mountains, but not in this village, but in the depths of the Mountains. Then he asked, "Can you ask why you are looking for him?"

"I'm a detective from Tokyo, and I came here after receiving a letter of commission from Mr. Shinichi. Mori sent the letter of entrustment to Oshima.

"It turned out to be a Maori detective, and he has admired his name for a long time. Oshima laughed.

"Where, where. Maori said happily.

"That's right, maybe only you, the detective who cracked the curse of the Phantom Kui Temple for four hundred years, can help him defeat that thing. Oshima said.

"Uh," Maori blinked, "that thing?"

Oshima smiled, "Earth spiders." ”

"Ah, earth spiders?" Maori scratched his cheeks and asked in confusion, "You can't be talking about the kind of spider monster in Dirt Spider Papyrus, right?"

"It's worthy of a Maori detective, and I guessed it right at once. Oshima laughed.

"Don't be kidding, this is not Kyoto, and I'm not Minamoto Yorimitsu. Maori said angrily.

"We have always had a legend here, and legend has it that a long time ago there was a beautiful woman here who kept asking people passing by the mountains questions such as 'Do you believe in heaven and would you like to see it?' and passers-by were so bewildered by her incredible beauty that they couldn't help but answer 'yes' and go with her, only to disappear into the forest and never be seen again." ”

"And then a samurai brought his retainers to defeat the youkai?" asked Maori angrily.

Oshima said, "Later, a passing puppeteer heard about this legend and wanted to find out, so he came up with a plan. He made a big marionette, which is now a humanoid pure glass, and put it on the mountain road to test the situation, and then the woman appeared and began to ask questions, of course the puppet could not answer, the woman showed the true face of the hideous spider, attacked the big puppet, and the puppeteer saw all this and lit a rocket to shoot at the spider, the big spider fled into the forest with flames, and the puppeteer chased it along the path that the spider pushed down the big tree and opened up, and found that the big spider and the little spider were burned to death in their nests. Later, the puppeteer and the villagers, who feared retribution, built a spider shrine there to worship them, and called the great spider Spider-sama, and the puppeteer stayed and became a priest, and the mountain has since been called the Ridge. ”

"What does this have to do with the Takeda family?" asked Maori.

Oshima said, "The Takeda family used to be the shrine owner, and his family had a humanoid statue of Joruri, and I remember his father performing this legend every year during the festival. ”

"Before?" asked Maori, confused. ……
