Chapter 524: Hot Springs Are Indispensable in Winter
Yamagata Prefecture is known as a paradise for hot spring lovers because of its unique location, which attracts many tourists from all over the country every year.
In the winter, the Mori family also took the time to go on a hot spring trip to the mountains of Yamagata Prefecture, and the snow-covered mountains have a special flavor, and although the weather is a little colder, it is even more exciting to soak in the hot springs.
The car drove through the wind and snow all the way into the mountains, and Gao Chengcheng sat next to Uncle Maori, quietly watching the flying snowflakes.
The river in the distance has frozen, and you can occasionally see vehicles carefully passing over the snow-covered bridge between the rolling mountains.
He, Xiao Ai and his uncle's family are going to one of the hot spring villages this time, and after booking a room at the Qinya Hotel in advance, there is even a special car to pick them up, so they don't have to find a place in the mountains by themselves.
Uncle Maori was not interested in the snow scene, and rubbed his shoulders vigorously: "Since I received a lot of more commissions, the shoulder pain has become more and more serious recently......"
The innkeeper, who acted as the driver's master, smiled, "Mr. Mori, our hot spring here is especially useful for treating sore shoulders, so you can give it a try later." ”
"That couldn't be better."
Gao Cheng glanced at the uncle who was already impatient.
Of course, it was comfortable to soak in the hot springs, but he didn't particularly look forward to it, but he felt that this trip was so smooth, it was really not easy, and there was neither getting lost nor any avalanche accidents.
"Hey, I said Chenghu boy," the uncle noticed Gao Cheng's appearance and said with a stiff face, "It's rare to invite you to come to the hot spring, why do you have this expression all the way?" You should relax when you come out to play! ”
"I just think that there is still some work to be done......
"To hell with work or something! Haven't you been busy enough? Learning to enjoy life is also an important lesson in life, and you'll know when we have a couple of drinks together......"
The corners of Gao Cheng's mouth twitched: "Even if I say that, I won't drink." ”
Detectives need to keep their heads clear at all times, even if they drink in moderation, but the uncle always likes to get drunk, and solving the case basically depends on "sleeping".
I really don't know what Uncle Hou should do without Conan, looking for a wife?
Gao Cheng thought of the uncle's last 10 million commission incident, and it was really Fei Ying's reason.
In this way, it seems that the uncle also has a "hanging" life, Conan hangs and his wife hangs......
"It's here!"
Gao Cheng secretly slandered himself, and the car soon arrived at a snow village, and he could see a hot spring hotel with a large area among the dead trees.
A sign engraved with the words "Koto House Inn" at the entrance stands out in the snow, and the proprietress and several hostesses stand under the eaves to greet them.
As the hotel car stopped in front of the house, the staff immediately greeted her, and the proprietress and aunt owed a little.
"Welcome, Mr. Maori, we have been waiting for you here for a long time, please ...... inside"
"I'm sorry for you."
Uncle Maori stood upright, looking like a accustomed adult, not to mention anything else, but the shelf was very sufficient.
Gao Cheng carried his duffel backpack and Xiao Ai followed him into the hotel, and the spacious hall was decorated with many brightly colored long-sleeved kimonos, and the gray-white snow scene outside was divided into two worlds.
It's really good......
Takasei looked at the courtyard of the inn, and like the main gate house last time, there was a pool surrounded by stones, and the bare branches and ponds were covered with snow, and the mountains in the distance were faintly visible, which was a sight that was difficult to see in Tokyo, and one couldn't help but think of stepping on snow in the courtyard.
"Oops!" Uncle Maori in front of him suddenly broke his skills, hugged his feet and cried out in pain, as if he had been hit by the luggage.
Gao Cheng looked towards the sorority hall and found a group of people sitting around the sofa, in addition to the round-faced female editor Yoriko Hoda and the romancer Akechi Eeri, who had met at the University Hall Press before, there was also a bald old man and three young and beautiful women, Uncle Maori couldn't help but stare at a few women even if he jumped in pain.
This old pervert......
"Detective Joto?" The female editor, Yoriko Hoda, saw Gao Cheng and was pleasantly surprised, "Why did you come here too?" Next to him is Detective Kogoro Mori, right? ”
"Mr. Maori?" The old man who was talking got up and stepped forward, and handed out his business card to the uncle with kind eyes, "It's such an honor to meet Mr. Mori in this place, I'm Hantoyoichi, the producer of Nippon Miuri TV, please advise me......."
"Hello."
The uncle became interested in the old man, and followed Gao Cheng directly to the round-faced female editor, focusing on several beautiful women.
"Oh, they're all great beauties!"
"Editor Hoda," Gao Cheng also glanced at a few people, "Are you here for a new play?" ”
"Yes," the female editor said with a smile, "because it tells the story of three young women who have risen to prominence in various fields, so we plan to use the most active women in all aspects as the blueprint for this play, and this time we specially invite three students from my alma mater, Wang Dao University, to discuss ...... here."
The two women who sat on the sofa and looked a little arrogant straightened up when they heard this, and at the same time looked at the boyish Gao Cheng and the Maori uncle next to him, who was more like a detective.
In any case, the status of detectives in the world where cases are frequent is not low, as can be seen from the attitude of the producers and the editors of the University Pavilion.
"This is a fashion model who is very active in Paris and New York," said producer Bando, introducing the long-haired woman on the sofa, who is rather cold, "and Miss Asuka Shibasaki, who is also the daughter of Senator Shibasaki......
"Next to him is an oil painter who won an award at the Todo Art Exhibition, Miss Ema Anzai......"
Gao Cheng looked at the woman with a turban perm like a proud hen, she was beautiful, but she didn't feel that her personality was very good, but the third woman was better, dressed ordinary, standing quietly next to her, looking at the snowy courtyard outside the floor-to-ceiling window, she seemed a little introverted.
"This is ......"
Producer Bando was about to introduce the last woman, and Xiaolan suddenly excited: "It must be singer-songwriter Miss Harumi Fukatsu, right?" I'm a huge fan of yours! ”
"Huh?" The introverted woman came back to her senses and said embarrassedly, "Thank you." ”
"Humph!"
The two people on the sofa said in a strange manner: "It's really strange, it's just that a song is popular, and there are still fans." ”
"Singers who have become popular and disappeared are everywhere......"
The atmosphere of confrontation made Gao Cheng frown slightly, and his senses for Shibasaki Asuka and Anzai Ema suddenly deteriorated a lot, if he was in charge of the series, it would be absolutely impossible to invite this kind of person, but after all, he was not a person in the entertainment industry, and he didn't know the plans of the female editors, so he was silent and didn't say anything.
Anyway, it's just a chance encounter, and it's enough to do a good job of superficial work.
"Uncle," Gao Cheng called Uncle Maori, who was talking to Bando, "let's go to the room and put our luggage first, so as not to disturb others." ”
"Yes, yes." The uncle glanced at a few women with some reluctance, until Xiaolan's face changed, and he followed the proprietress with his luggage.
"But then again," the uncle exclaimed, looking at the snow outside the floor-to-ceiling window, "the scenery here is really good!" ”
"If you like it," the proprietress smiled happily and led everyone out of the hall, "It's your room across the corridor in front, you can tell us if you need anything......
"Huh?" Gao Cheng walked at the back, turned his head with a feeling, and the introverted female singer Harumi Fukatsu happened to look at him, and after being discovered, he immediately blushed and lowered his head.
