Act 286: Two Missing Men in Gunma Prefecture (1)
The next day, the warm morning light mingled through the slight breath, and the cicadas crunched on the oak trees. In the open space of Rice Flower Park, the detective group imps who have finished their football training with Glen Levi are shaking their limbs and bodies in accordance with the national health exercises.
Listening to the familiar rhythm of "one, two, three, four" in his ears, Conan couldn't help but murmur secretly: What are you doing...... I was supposed to be able to enjoy the summer vacation of my sophomore year of high school, but I was stuck here, and I really don't know what I'm doing......
Conan's actions that are not in place can be seen by any person that he is just perfunctory.
Yuan Tai glanced at him, "Conan, you have to do it seriously." ”
"National health exercises are the most important memories of the summer vacation." Ayumi picked up and said, "Look at Brother Hanazuka's movements, this is called the standard." ”
Is...... Conan half-hung his eyes and pursed his lips.
Dr. Asa looked at Glen Levi next to him with his spare eyes and said, "By the way, Si Chenjun, I haven't seen Satsuki for a while, is her friend's detective agency doing good business?" ”
Glenleeway happened to make a leaning motion, and his voice was a little struggling: "Hmm...... Fortunately, it may be that the case is more tricky, so I didn't take the time to come back. ”
Hearing them talk about Hoshino Satsuki, Conan's ears immediately pricked up. Fortunately, there haven't been any major cases around him recently, otherwise he still needs to contact Gao Yue in advance to find out what the next case will be.
At this time, there was a faint voice in his ears: "You said that, I just noticed that Tsuburaya-san's didn't come today." ”
Mitsuhiko Tsuburaya? Glenlevy's heart tightened.
Is that going to happen?
"I don't know what's going on with Mitsuhiko lately, he used to come to gymnastics every day." Ayumi said in a milky voice.
Yuan Tai didn't care: "It must be oversleeping again, I'm sorry to come." ”
"Now, I said. After doing gymnastics, let's go to Mitsuhiko's house together. Usually he is always the first to report, but today he was even absent from football training, which is not his style. "Glenlevy wanted to go to Tsuburaya's house as soon as possible to make sure that his judgment was correct.
If it is the same as he thinks, then Mitsuhiko is likely to run to the deep mountains of Gunma Prefecture, where Numabuchi Jiichiro exists.
When the rhythm of the gymnastics stopped, everyone immediately ran towards the Tsuburaya Mansion. I was afraid that Mitsuhiko Tsuburaya was bedridden because he was seriously ill.
However, this is only their subjective inference.
When several people told Mitsuhiko's sister, Asami Tsuburaya, she was as surprised as several members of the detective group: "Didn't Mitsuhiko go to gymnastics?" Strangely, he told me that after gymnastics, he would go camping with you. ”
"Camping?" A few imps said in unison.
"Yes, he's been preparing excitedly since last night. What else do you say, to feed so many people, you need to bring some bamboo leaf rice balls. ”
Ayumi was a little worried: "So, sister, do you know where Mitsuhiko might go?" ”
"I don't know......" Asami still had a smile on her face, as if she thought that her brother was just playing for a while and secretly running somewhere.
While the few people were talking, Conan calmly took out his phone and flipped through the address book.
He walked to the door alone, and after waiting for the busy tone, he said into the microphone, "Hey, Hoshino, it's me." ”
"Hey, Kudo. What's the matter? Gao Yue's voice was very weak, for fear that others would hear it.
"Why are you so quiet, inconvenient to hear?"
"Ah...... No. ”
At this moment, Hoshino Satsuki was behind a tree in Kakudo Park, carefully observing the group of cats not far away. "Because the client asked me to find her cat this time, I am now in a place where cats frequent, so I am afraid of scaring them."
"I see...... Conan raised an eyebrow and began to get back to business, "that's it...... Mitsuhiko is missing, I think if it were you, you would know where he was, and I wonder if you could come back and look for him with us today. ”
"Mitsuhiko?" Satsuki thought for a moment and immediately realized the case. "He's fine, I guess it was the last fireworks show, and Ayumi Gray Yuan said that they wanted to see fireflies again, so they were going to look for them in the mountains of Gunma Prefecture."
"Gunma Prefecture......"
When Conan muttered, Gao Yue said again: "My words, I can't go back in the past two days." Last night I had a drinking order with my friend, and he was very drunk and had a very painful head, so today I am going to help him run the office and help the client find the cat by the way. ”
"Well, I see."
When Conan told the others the news of Mitsuhiko's presence in Gunma Prefecture, everyone was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly realized.
Gray Yuan lowered his eyes and whispered, "No wonder he had that expression when we said we wanted to see the fireflies again that day, but I didn't expect Tsuburaya to actually go and find it." ”
"But this is too messy, Mitsuhiko, that guy didn't even discuss with us." Yuan Tai and the others didn't care how Conan knew, so they shouted: "Then let's go now!" ”
Glenlevy, who was walking behind everyone, didn't have any expression, he kept frowning and bowing his head silently.
His mind was full of assassination warrants from the gentleman. If he really went to that mountain and was recognized by Jiichiro Numabuchi, he would have to kill him.
But as the leader of the detective team of these little ghosts, he can't ignore the disappearance of Mitsuhiko at all. In order not to arouse the suspicion of others, now you can only take one step and count one step.
After nearly three hours of the train, Glen Levi and the imps of the detective group got off at a station called "Kushinojo".
The area near the mountains of Gunma Prefecture is desolate, the land is empty, and there are very few people who can see it, and even the few convenience stores that are in a state of closure and renovation.
Yuan Tai couldn't help but complain: "How to find this kind of place where birds don't." ”
Conan flicked the button on the glasses, and as the antenna slowly rose, the left lens immediately showed a point of light representing Mitsuhiko, which was now moving continuously in a certain direction in the grid.
"It's okay, just rest assured. I've already detected Mitsuhiko's Detective Corps badge. He's obviously around here. ”
Yuan Tai took a step forward and said, "What, since Mitsuhiko has the badge of the detective group, it would be good to call him directly." ”
Conan certainly thought about it, but no matter how many times he pressed the call button, the other party's badge never answered.
"Could it be that he has already caught a firefly?" Gran Lewi pretended to understand and interjected: "I think, probably after he caught the fireflies with both hands, he couldn't reach for the detective group badge." ”
"Quite possibly......" Conan thought for a moment, looking at the flickering dots of light in his glasses with a relaxed expression. But even if he can't answer, he can use the tracking system of the glasses, and he will be found soon. ”
And Mitsuhiko, who was deep in the mountains at the moment, was really as Grantley said, he didn't have time to care about the detective group badge pinned to his backpack, and he was holding something in both hands and walking in a certain direction of the mountain.
Through the gaps in his fingertips, faint flickering fluorescence seemed to be visible.
