Chapter Eighty-Eight: The Secret of Youth

"Rianray, rejuvenate your youth, I am the best proof of this"

Rianray is the hottest lotion of the moment.

And its spokesperson is the president of Rianray: Yomi Ukawa.

Although he is fifty-four years old, he looks like a person in his thirties, as if he is rejuvenated.

In addition to this, Ukawa Daimi is also the proprietress of the Bulao Hot Spring Hotel.

It is said that the source of the water in Rianray is the hot spring water here.

It is precisely because of this advertisement broadcast on TV that Qinghai Chuantang has the mind to find out.

Unexpectedly, I happened to meet a few familiar people here.

One was an accident, two were an accident, and three times might be fate.

As a result, some changes have quietly taken place in the names of several people.

"Hello, I'm Xiao Tangtang's junior high school classmate, my name is Mai Kirishima. You can call me Mai Sister! ”

The long blond hair and the appearance of the royal sister are enough to make a woman envious and jealous of her figure.

The majesty on the chest can't help but make these girls feel shy and inferior.

But soon, this sentiment turned into "asking for advice". I am eager to communicate with the other party and discuss the profound "philosophy" in this regard.

Very affectionate title, with a bright smile on his face.

I can't help but think that she must be a gentle and cute big sister type.

She held Qinghai Chuantang's hand and stuck it very close, as if the relationship between the two was very good.

But Qinghai Chuantang showed a slightly uncomfortable look.

"I'm sorry for the customers, but there are no more rooms in the store."

Is it going to be fruitless?

"It's okay!"

Mai Kirishima smiled, "It just so happens that I live in a room alone. Then I'll give you the room, and I'll have a room with Xiao Tangtang. ”

"And when I came here before, I saw two men who were also in separate rooms, maybe I could discuss it with them, maybe I might think."

Coincidentally, these two men are Amuro and Okiya.

The atmosphere becomes delicate.

"Nope."

The two chose to refuse in unison.

It's not that the two of them are unwilling to give up the room, it's just that they don't want to stay in the same room with each other.

"Oh, two men shouldn't be so stingy."

Mai Kirishima walked over with a smile and proposed, "Since you don't want to share a room with each other, it's better to do this." ”

"One of them is with me, and the other is with Xiao Tangtang. She is a righteous gentleman and will not treat you like this. ”

Wait, are you sure you didn't say the opposite?

"Yes."

The four people on the side were dumbfounded.

This atmosphere can no longer be described as subtle, it should be described as weird.

Mai Kirishima saw that her opinion was adopted, and said happily: "Since this is the case, let's use the man's way to decide." ”

"The way of men? Should the two of them fight here? ”

Yuan Zi said, his face was full of excitement, and he seemed to be looking forward to it.

Unfortunately, her expectations were destined to be disappointed.

The "man's way" that Mai Kirishima refers to is rock-paper-scissors.

"I won."

"No, come again."

"Best of three games."

"Three wins in five games."

These two people seem to be addicted to playing?

Sure enough, the man was a teenager until he died.

If this continues, maybe the sun will go down and you won't be able to tell the winner.

So Mai Kirishima hurriedly stopped them and suggested another way.

"Now, I have a coin in my hand. Whoever of you guesses that there is no coin, come with me. This little brother with glasses, you come first. ”

Mai Kirishima put her fists in front of Okiya with a sly smile on her face.

"Left hand."

"Sorry, I guessed wrong."

Mai Kirishima opened her left hand, her palm empty, and there was nothing.

She smiled triumphantly: "You don't need to look at the rest, there are coins." ”

With that, she put her hand in her pocket, as if to put the coin back.

"Sister Mai, you don't actually have coins in either hand, right?"

Conan looked at her with a smile, as if he had already seen everything.

"This time, I guessed wrong."

Mai Kirishima opened her right hand.

A coin landed on the ground, maintaining a faΓ§ade with a slim chance.

"This hot spring actually has a name, a secret hot spring, and it has been around since the Edo period. As long as you soak it, you can stay young forever, and it can also make your skin smooth and delicate, and become white. ”

As she spoke, Ukawa Yomi touched her face and smiled, "Although I look like I'm in my thirties, in fact, I'm fifty-four years old. ”

"Isn't it?"

Several people looked surprised.

I feel like the other party has been forgotten by time, and I can't find any traces of time.

"I've been waiting."

At this time, a young girl walked in with a pot.

She is the daughter of Yomi Ugawa: Ayayu Ukawa.

After Ukawa Daimi opened the lid of the pot, the aroma suddenly ran out as if she was happy.

"This is what we boiled by putting konjac in hot spring water, and we named it Young Boil."

"It's a precious dish that can only be eaten at this inn, and I've been making it for many years."

When you put it in a bowl, it feels like a mashed yam and has a thick feeling.

Such a precious dish, Qinghai Chuantang has no relationship with it because of allergies.

"The proprietress is really young and beautiful, and I don't feel like I'm 54 years old at all."

On a long table, in addition to the eight of them, there were six other people who came here to hold a class reunion.

However, there were only five of them.

Another person said that he didn't want to eat for the time being, and wanted to go to the hot spring for a while to relax.

"How old is Ayayu?"

Ukawa Ayao smiled and asked, "How old do you think I am?" ”

"20 years old? But it looks younger than a few high school students over there. ”

"Actually, I'm only 15 years old."

It seems that it's not just the skin that is young.

Mai Kirishima is a journalist who came here to secretly investigate and solve the mystery of the youth of the Ageless Hot Spring Hotel.

In the hallway of the inn, there is a portrait that bears a striking resemblance to Yomi Ukawa.

It's just that it looks more like what she looks like when she gets old.

And this portrait is the one that Ukawa Daimi painted fifteen years ago.

"rianray is actually the meaning of Dorian Gray, and the protagonist of Wilde's portrait of Dorian Gray."

Let the portrait grow old instead of yourself, and then get eternal youth as a result.

"The hostess looks a little younger. Is there really such a magic as rejuvenation? ”

Youth is fleeting, and so is beauty.

"Although I don't know, it's really that magical."

Saying that, Mai Kirishima took Qinghai Chuantang's hand and said with a smile: "But Xiaotangtang is 49 years old this year, and he still looks very young." Tell me in advance, she doesn't have to sneak to the hot springs! ”

The three of them were dumbfounded, "No, isn't it?" ”

Mai Kirishima smiled, she didn't expect this group of children to be so naΓ―ve.

"Of course I lied to you!"

When she got to the curtain, Mai Kirishima let go of her hand.

Reluctantly said: "Xiao Tangtang, you go inside with them first." Later, we went outside to the barbecue. ”

Xiaolan was slightly surprised.

"Sister Mai, aren't you going to join us?"

"Well, this one."

Mai Kirishima hesitated for a moment, and explained with a smile: "Actually, I want to go and play with that little brother, after all, the time between the two of them is very rare." ”

From the perspective of others, there is a high probability that this is a decisive and brave girl who pursues love.

But from Qinghai Chuantang's point of view, what the other party said made her extremely frightened.

"In that case, then the four of us have to be together."

Several members of the alumni association went fishing in the nearby river, so the only guests in the hotel are Qinghai Chuantang and others.

When the four of them finished bathing and walked into the hot spring field, they couldn't help but scream when they saw the scene in front of them.

I saw a woman with her eyes closed, all but her face being soaked in water

"Ahh

Shiliang Zhenchun hurriedly ran over, but suddenly slipped and almost slipped to the ground.

"Be careful!"

Qinghai Chuantang found it in time and stretched out his hand to hold the other party. It's a pity that she overestimated her strength too much, and was directly taken into the water by the other party.

couldn't help but become a human cushion, and his head accidentally hit the stone on the side.

"Sera! Sister Xiaotang! ”

In a trance, she seemed to hear someone calling to her.

When Qinghai Chuantang finally woke up, he found that he was already in the room, and his head seemed to be wrapped in something.

Before she could speak, Mai Kirishima took her hand.

"I know that even if you forget them, you won't forget me."

Qinghai Chuantang didn't speak, propped up his body and wanted to sit up.

"What about the murderer?"

"Murderer?" The garden said a little strangely, "It was just an accident, the hot spring water is slippery." ”

Xiaolan added, "In addition, only Miss Naipo was there at the time, and everyone else had an alibi. ”

Accidental

Qinghai Chuantang thoughtfully.

She reached out and touched her injured position, and there was still a slight pain.

"By the way, when are we going to go to the barbecue?"

At this time, the four faces were confused.

You're all injured, and the first thing you think about is not whether you will leave a scar, but to eat barbecue?

Seeing this, Qinghai Chuantang explained: "Anyway, the accident has happened, and this injury has also been suffered." You can't just change what is good because of this, right? ”

Sounds like it makes some sense.

"But are your injuries really alright?" Xiaolan cared.

Qinghai Chuantang shook his head and said with relief: "Don't worry, my head is not pinched with dough." ”

What's more, in the current situation, only food can soothe her wounded heart.

Where Conan appears, it's rare to see an accident rather than an event.

This made her doubt Kexue's law.

Also suspicious is Conan himself.

"No, there's no reason, it's impossible, this definitely shouldn't be just an accident, it's as simple as that!"

Seeing the other party whispering to himself on the side, Mai Kirishima was a little skeptical that he was possessed by something.

"That little ghost, has it always been like this?"

"Who knows."

Yuanzi looked in Conan's direction and said with some dissatisfaction: "I feel the same as Xiaolan's boyfriend, every time I encounter this situation, I must find the murderer to be comfortable." ”

"It's a pity that this is obviously an accident, didn't Shiliang and Sister Xiaotang also slipped just now?"

After finishing speaking, he took a hard bite of the squid skewer in his hand.
