Chapter 137: Dim Sum
After a little sleep, my brain seemed to be refreshed, and although I still felt a little weak, at least my mind was clear. Raising his eyes and looking at the time, it was just a little over two o'clock, and at this time, Xiao Wai and they should be in class.
Looking at the ceiling bored for a while, I rang the bell at the head of the bed, and after a while, Konoha hurried over.
"What's wrong? Is it uncomfortable again?"
"Hmm. β
"What's the situation?" Seeing me nodding, Konoha's expression became a little nervous, and while pulling out the ballpoint pen on his body, he took out a small notebook and prepared to record.
"Hmm...... Specifically, it feels like time flies very slowly, there is a small insect flying one hundred and thirty-two times in the corner of the wall, the cloth strip on the air conditioner flies three times and falls, the clock in the room is a little slow, about two minutes will be slow and one second, it's time to change the battery, there are a total of fifty-two boards on the ceiling, there is a gap between the thirty-ninth and the forty, the size is about three centimeters. There are a total of 375 cherry blossoms on the floor tiles, and the cherry blossoms on the sixth brick in the fourth row from the left are a little off paint......"
The pen in Konoha's hand burst open for some reason.
"Enough. Konoha lowered his head and interrupted me with a soft sigh, his expression unusually calm compared to the pen that was popped by him.
"Doctor, I'm not done yet. I looked at Konoha innocently.
"I already have a complete understanding of your condition," Konoha gritted his teeth at me as if he was enduring something, "I'll go prescribe you medicine now." β
With that, Konoha turned around and walked away.
Ah, gone. Pity. I looked at the back of Konoha as he left with some regret. It's going to be at least an hour before Xiao Ai comes to pick me up, how am I going to live?
There are no mobile phones, no computers, no televisions, not even books. Is this hell somewhere, really.
After a while, Konoha came over with a smile: "Come, I've prescribed your medicine." β
"Uh...... No, I think I'm much better, I don't need to take medicine......" Looking at Konoha's smiling face, I always felt a little bad premonition, and hurriedly said with a smile.
"You're welcome, I'm your attending physician, you're my patient, and I'm supposed to be responsible for you. Konoha was unmoved, smiling as she approached me. It wasn't until he got closer that I realized that he was holding a large, terrifying-looking syringe in his hand!
"What are you going to do?"
"I'll treat you. β
"No, I'm not sick, I'm going to be discharged!"
"No, I can't get rid of my illness, how can I be discharged from the hospital? I have to be responsible for you. β
"Don't, don't come here! I'm wrong! Uncle, I'm wrong!"
"Hey, hey, hey...... It's too late to say anything now...... Just accept your fate. β
"Help, murder, !!!."
......
"I'll tell you oh Xiao Ai, that doctor is too a**, anti-inflammatory drugs obviously only need to be injected intravenously, he must prick my ass with intramuscular injection! And it's such a thick needle! And beat my ass! That big **! must have that shameful (desire) for children!**!" On the way home, I limped while loudly accusing Xiao Ai of the unforgivable crime that Konoha had committed against me.
"Yes, yes, I know, I'll help you get revenge if I have the chance. Xiao Ai glanced at me helplessly, coaxing me perfunctory like a child, with a faint doting in her eyes.
"When is the chance!" I objected loudly, hating this kind of child-fooling rhetoric the most.
"What's the shameful desire for a child, Minghui-san?" Ayumi asked me with some curiosity.
"This ...... What's this...... Hahaha...... "I was speechless for a while, and I started haha.
But thanks to the last shot, Minghui was completely refreshed. Mitsuhiko said with a smile.
"That's it, only by curing the disease can we have more appetite for food!Only then can we become as strong as me!" Yuan Tai also patted his chest and echoed.
"Intramuscular injections can make the effects more effectively absorbed by you. The corners of Xiao Ai's mouth curled slightly.
"Cut. Seeing that no one was "in the same hatred" as me, I couldn't help but pout angrily.
"Hee-hee, Minghui really looks like a child. Seeing me like this, Ayumi couldn't help laughing, Xiao Ai also pursed her lips, looked at me with a smile in her eyes, and didn't say anything.
"It just so happens that tomorrow is Saturday, so in order to celebrate Minghui's discharge from the hospital, let's take advantage of this opportunity to go to Kyoto for a break! It just so happens that I won a free experience paper for the Maritime Self-Defense Force's Aegis Aegis ship Hotaka during the lottery yesterday!" Mitsuhiko said while pulling out a leaflet from his school bag.
"Really?!Okay, okay, let's go together!" Yuan Tai hurriedly expressed his support.
"Okay, let's go. Seeing that everyone looked eager to try, Xiao Zhenyu also looked at me expectantly, and I couldn't bear to sweep everyone's interest, and Xiao Wai looked at each other, and then nodded in response.
"Yay!"
"If you don't go to Kyoto, you must be accompanied by an adult, and it seems that the doctor is going to Osaka tomorrow, so he doesn't have time. Xiao Wai thought for a moment and said.
"If you say this, there's no problem, anyway, the uncle is very idle, and it should be okay to talk to him. Conan said weakly with hanging eyes.
"Yaye yes!!" Ayumi, Motota, Mitsuhiko, and Mayu looked at each other and couldn't help cheering. Seeing how happy they were, even I couldn't help but be happy.
Because the stock matter has come to an end for the time being, according to the news from Ueki, Mammon has also initially gained a foothold in Ishikawa County, under the pseudonym Yamada Daizo, established the Yamada Group, and collected some small minions, although there is still a distance from being useful, but the opening is still very good. The acquisition of Tanaka Real Estate has also been put on the agenda, and everything is moving in the direction I imagined, which makes me breathe a sigh of relief and ease the nervousness and anxiety I have been feeling for days.
Returning to the office with a group of children, Xiaolan and Uncle Maori were already waiting for us in the living room early, and a large table full of various dishes made me stunned for a moment, and then reacted, it seemed that they were ready to give me a recovery celebration.
Thinking of this, I couldn't help but feel a faint emotion in my heart.
"Cheers to Xiaohui's healthy return!"
"Cheers!!"
......
So, taking advantage of the continuous holiday, we, the junior detective group, came to Kyoto!
Speaking of which, the last time I came to Kyoto was a few months ago, and I still remember that the cherry blossoms were blooming beautifully, and I don't know what happened to the old monk, but he should still be alive, don't they all say that the scourge will last for thousands of years?
The only pity is that Xiao Ai didn't come with us, because the doctor was going to Osaka to hold a scientist seminar, and Xiao Ai was taken by the doctor as an assistant.
Unlike us, the children were all excited when they came to Kyoto for the first time, and under the influence of the children, Xiaolan, Sonoko, and Uncle Mori were all in high spirits.
"But ah, the boat ride is tomorrow, what should we do today?" asked Motota as he looked excitedly from side to side.
"Well, it's rare to come to Kyoto once, of course it's ......" Xiaolan and Yuan Zi glanced at each other and said with a smile: "Eat something delicious." β
"Especially Japanese sweets in Kyoto. β
"Yes, yes. β
"And look at the night view and have a little wine. Uncle Maori replied with an intoxicated expression.
"Wait a minute!" Mitsuhiko, the initiator of the event, was very dissatisfied with the rising emotions of these adults: "Listen, I didn't come to Kyoto to drink or eat snacks, but to experience the sailing experience of this Hotaka Aegis ship! Ah, of course, it's also to celebrate Minghui's recovery. β
Mitsuhiko, in fact, you don't need to add this sentence. I looked at Mitsuhiko with some embarrassment.
Xiaolan: "Even if that'......"
Yuanzi: "Isn't there also a saying for 'by the way'......"
The two girls looked at each other, their heads slightly tilted, and made a cute, coquettish voice: "Right?"
"That's it~~" Uncle Maori also echoed with a shy face.
If the voices of the two young and beautiful girls make people feel crispy, then Uncle Maori's voice is like the spring cry of Aunt Eiri's cat named "Goro......
This group of adults is hopeless...... I couldn't help but put my hand over my forehead.
As soon as she got out of the station, Xiaolan pulled everyone straight to a Japanese confectionery shop in Kyoto with amazing momentum, according to the garden, Xiaolanchao liked a kind of dim sum called Kyoto no Bird, and since she happened to eat it once at the garden's house, she has been obsessed with it.
There is a TV in front of the store, and the process of making Kyo-no-Tori is constantly being played on a loop, and it seems that Kyo-no-Tori is not the most popular here, but it is the main product here. The bird-shaped snacks on the TV are unusually delicious and look delicious, so it's no wonder that Xiaolan has been obsessed with them.
"Eh?!! how could this be?!!" While we were watching TV with relish at the door, the surprised voice of Xiaolan, who had entered earlier, came from the store. When we heard the sound, we hurried into the store.
"What's the matter, Xiaolan?" Listening to Xiaolan's voice, it seemed that something terrible had happened, and the garden that was worried about Xiaolan immediately spoke up and asked Xiaolan.
"Listen to me!" Xiaolan's expression was very anxious, and even with us we became nervous!
"Sister Xiaolan, don't be in a hurry, speak slowly. β
"All the chocolate-flavored Kyonotori are sold out!!"
"What?!All the chocolate-flavored Kyonotori were sold out!!"
Uh-huh, Ahler, seems to be ...... What's wrong?
I went for a long time, and it was such a small thing that the chocolate-flavored snacks were sold out...... The people who reacted couldn't help but be deflated and weak.
"Don't scare me, you thought something was wrong...... Garden's face wiped her cold sweat and said.
"But I came to Kyoto specifically for this!" Xiaolan looked very aggrieved.
Ah, although I expected it, but sure enough, it was convenient for Xiaolan to look at the warship.
I asked the clerk, and it was gratifying that there were still many branches of this dim sum shop, but before Xiaolan's mood improved, an old man who ran in in a panic once again made Xiaolan's heart pinch again!
"Hey, really?!The chocolate-flavored treats are gone?!"
Hearing this, Xiaolan immediately looked at the clerk who was talking to us again. The clerk told us the truth, and it turned out that the chocolate-flavored Kyonotori was not sold out, but disappeared inexplicably from the moment before the store opened!
And not only the store we are in, but also the chocolate-flavored Kyoto Bird in the other four branches are all gone!
That's a big deal...... I looked at Xiaolan with some sympathy, who was still in shock.
However, it can make hundreds of boxes of dim sum in five stores disappear at the same time...... It's really interesting. I couldn't help but touch my chin and laugh.
Naturally, as a "detective", Kogoro Maori was innocently involved. Looking at Xiaolan's appearance, it seems that she will not give up without checking the facts. From the clerk, we learned that the chocolates used for confectionery are imported specialties and are available in limited quantities, so it is impossible to have a newly made Kyoto bird today, and we will not have time to buy anything tomorrow.
In other words, if Xiaolan still wants to buy chocolate-flavored Kyoto birds, she can only hope for these disappearing Kyoto birds.
Now Xiaolan, the desire to solve the case is simply bursting!
Unfortunately, after checking, we didn't find any clues from the store's monitors because of the blind spots in the camera. Just found a young girl who left in a hurry
Suspicious, but judging from her thin clothes, she can't even fit a box of snacks on her body.
Just as we were thinking about it, we met Officer Ayakoji, who happened to pass by here on vacation, because he had treated Uncle Mori as a suspect last time, so Uncle Mori obviously didn't like him a little.
When asked why he came here, his answer was to take his beloved squirrel for a walk. Ah, forget it, I'm so tired from spitting and spitting.
Because it was a vacation time, Officer Ayakoji could only help us with the investigation in his personal capacity. Through the message from Officer Ayakoji's colleague, we once again got new information: there was once a suspicious pink car parked in front of a branch. As soon as this news came out, Xiaolan couldn't help but be shocked!
"I'll go to the shop on Yanxiao Road Street to have a look!" Just as everyone was struggling with whether to be a security guard, Xiaolan, who had been silent, suddenly spoke, and everyone couldn't help but look at her in surprise. She has always been gentle and gentle, and she rarely has such a tone.
"If you drag it out, you will be escaped!"
"Then I'll go to the store in Shinkyogoku (Shinkyogoku: Kyoto's famous shopping street). "The garden took the initiative to ask for help.
"Well, Dad is going to the rest of the shop, called Shirakawa!Mr. Ayakoji is here waiting for everyone's contact!" "I don't know when, Xiaolan became everyone's commander, and it seems that Xiaolan's obsession with Kyonotori is about to catch up with Yuanta's obsession with eels.
seems to be intimidated by Xiaolan's strong momentum, everyone has no objection to Xiaolan's arrangement, and the children are also assigned by Conan to follow the adults one by one, as for me-
"Ah, don't count me in......" Based on habit, when Conan assigns tasks, I still habitually want to exclude myself, anyway, there are already adults, isn't it, running back and forth looking for clues or something, it's too troublesome......
"You...... Are you sure you won't participate?" for some reason, I always felt that Conan looked at me with a hint of schadenfreude.
Uh!
I turned back tremblingly and found that Sister Xiaolan was looking at me with a cold look.
"Hey, hey, I'd better follow Uncle Maori to find clues. I said with a dry laugh.
"Now," I walked over to Conan and paused slightly before heading out, "It's impossible for something to disappear for no reason, unless...... From the beginning, this thing did not exist. β
Listening to my words, Conan didn't say anything, and pondered slightly.
"Uncle, what should we do?" When we arrived in Shirakawa, Uncle Maori and I unsurprisingly didn't ask for anything valuable, and the clerk here only remembered that a small pink car had stopped in front of the store, and the others didn't. Really follow us obediently, and follow suit.
"What should I do, of course, find a good tavern to have a good drink!" replied Uncle Maori, without thinking.
But Sister Xiaolan seems to be very scary...... I was just about to remind Uncle Maori that he was going to die, but Uncle Maori suddenly hammered his palm: "Wait, this won't work." β
It turns out that Uncle Maori also sensed the danger?
"Wouldn't drinking in a tavern disappoint the cherry blossoms that bloom so beautifully?" Uncle Maori turned his head to look at the cherry blossom trees blooming on the side of the road, and said, "Sure enough, it's better to enjoy the flowers while drinking on the side of the road!"
Is this "no"? I want to hit my head on the ground again.
Since you are so insistent on dying, then Uncle Maori, don't blame me for not saving you, I have already warned you. I glanced sympathetically at Uncle Maori, turned to Mayu behind me and asked, "Mayu, what do you want to eat?"
"Eh, don't you need to look for clues? But Sister Xiaolan ......"
"Hello, Uncle Maori will shelter us from the wind and rain in front. I smiled and glanced at Uncle Maori, who was buying wine, and took Mayu's little hand: "Let's go, my brother will take you to eat the awesome snow sponge ice." β
"Hmm. β
Led Mayu into a dessert shop not far from the dim sum shop, and as soon as he entered, a sweet smell came to his face.
"Welcome!" two uniformed waiters, a man and a woman, smiled at us.
"What do you want to eat, ice cream, waffles, snow cream, or lollipops?" asked the handsome waitress with a smile as he bent down to us.
By the way, why would there be such a strange thing as a lollipop mixed in?
"Please give us two small portions of snow ice, one mango flavored and one strawberry flavored. As I spoke, I turned back to Mayu and asked, "I remember you like strawberries, right?"
"Hmm. Mayu smiled cutely and nodded.
"Please wait. "Lead me and Mayu to sit down on the second floor, and the waiter will go down and get ready. Mayu and I chatted while waiting for things to come up. Speaking of which, I don't spend much time alone with Mayu, and Mayu seems to be a little uncomfortable.
It's lovely though.
"I've been waiting. After a while, the waiter came to us with a plate: "One strawberry flavored and one mango-flavored snow sponge ice, and two lollipops, also strawberry-flavored and mango-flavored, are given to you by the big brother, please use them slowly." β
"Huh...... Thank you. I hesitated, but nodded my head in thanks.
"No thanks, big brother I love cute kids. The waiter winked at me mischievously.
...... There was a familiar feeling of nausea.
Look at the lollipop again β it's huge!
Suspiciously, I glanced at the back of the waiter leaving, I shook my head, and took a sip of snow and ice, it was cold and cold, and a trace of sweetness was directly sweet to the bottom of my heart, full of happiness......
Glancing at Mayu, well, the same expression as me.
"Mayu, look up. β
"Huh?"
"Click!" "Well, it's cute. Looking at the little Lo (Li) on the phone screen, I nodded with satisfaction.
"Ah, Minghui-san, really! I'll take your picture too!" Mayu puffed out her little face with dissatisfaction.
"Huh? this ...... Forget it. I scratched my face lightly with my fingers and begged for mercy with some embarrassment.
"No, you've taken a picture of me! I'll have to take a picture to be fair!"
β...... Okay, but there's only one!" I hesitated, but I agreed.
"Hmm!" Mayu seemed happy to see that I agreed, and jumped up to my side and pointed the camera of her phone at the faces of both of us. Unlike Xiao Ai's clear and elegant fragrance like a snow lotus, Mayu's fragrance is more like her favorite taste, sweet and sour, reminiscent of strawberries.
"Click!" Mayo's cute scissorhands and my slightly helpless face were recorded on Mayo's phone screen.
"Dididi!" Just as Mayu and I finished eating snow and wanted to go to Uncle Maori, the detective badge on our bodies suddenly rang.
"I'm Minghui, what's wrong?" I asked, picking up my badge.
"It's me," Conan's voice came from inside the badge, "why haven't you come back yet?"
"Uncle Maori?" I looked down through the floor-to-ceiling window of the dessert shop, and I was greeted by the chic form of Uncle Maori sitting under the cherry blossom tree and drinking freely.
"Under the cherry blossom trees on the side of the road, a bottle of wine, you know. I smiled maliciously.
"Okay......" The sound of Conan demobilizing came from the other end of the badge, and the "creaking" sounded like a fist joint.
In an instant, a terrifying feeling rushed straight into my heart!
"Let's go!" I grabbed Mayu and ran in the direction of Uncle Maori!
"Huh, are you leaving so soon?" The waiter looked a little stunned by our hurry.
"yes, sorry, we'll come back next time!"
"Well, well, look forward to our next meeting!" the waiter winked at me again.
Sure enough, it's still disgusting!
Not long after rushing to Uncle Maori's side, sure enough, I saw Sister Xiaolan running towards this side with a fierce look! Everywhere I passed, the fierce flames were monstrous!
"Sister Xiaolan, Uncle Maori didn't move as soon as he started drinking, I'm sorry. I pulled Mayu, lowered my head and said "ashamed".
"Ah, I know, thank you, Fai. Xiao Lan, who was holding back her anger, reluctantly pulled the corners of her mouth at us and made a smile, but it was still terrifying!
"Uncle Maori, let's go back......" looked at Uncle Maori, although he was already a little drunk and couldn't tell the difference between east and west, but based on humanitarianism, I still tried to save him for the last time, otherwise how could I set up a stall for our suspicion of "absenteeism"...... Phew, it's to save Uncle Maori's life!
"It's all said, don't be in such a hurry, it's not a big deal, hahaha......" Uncle Maori looked completely carried away with his tongue and dancing with his hands.
"Oh, not a big deal?" Ran approached Uncle Maori with an alarming low pressure.
"Yes, yes, it's not a big event~~" Uncle Maori followed Xiaolan's words. And then I saw it......
A rakshasa ghost clenching his fists......
"I came to enjoy the flowers during the investigation, and I really have a backbone......"
"Xiaolan, wait...... Wait a minute! That's not the case! Sakura...... Sakura!Sakura ...... It's beautiful!"
"Ahh!!!h
"Amen!" is too tragic, let's be harmonious, let the world be full of love. I silently drew a cross in my mind.
By chance, I looked up, and I was like, "Pink car?" won't ...... That's it, right?
After asking, it turned out that the owner of the pink small car we had been looking for was not a prisoner, but a customer who liked chocolate-flavored Kyoto Bird like Xiaolan, and in order to be able to buy chocolate-flavored Kyoto Bird, she had already run five stores, so the staff of the dim sum shop would have seen her......
Unfortunately, what we did was useless.
Thankfully, Conan wasn't idle while we were busy running outside, and by the time we got back to Conan's shop, Conan had already solved the mystery of the disappearance of the so-called chocolate-flavored Kyoto bird.
It turns out that, just as I guessed before, it's not that the chocolate-flavored Kyo-no-Bird has disappeared, but that the chocolate-flavored Kyo-no-Bird has not existed since the beginning!
Because today is the death day of the previous president of Kyo-no-Tori, and the previous president didn't like the chocolate-flavored Kyo-no-Bird, the master who made the sweets didn't want to sell the chocolate-flavored Kyo-notori on this day, so he didn't make chocolate-flavored, but put a chocolate label on the box of the bean paste-flavored Kyo-no-bird, and when he put it on the shelves, he took advantage of the fact that others were not paying attention, and changed the label back, and in this way, the Kyoto-no-bird with bean paste became the chocolate-flavored Kyo-notori, and after putting it on the shelf, the chocolate-flavored Kyo-no-bird changed back to the Kyoto-no-bird with bean paste fillingγ Then, as everyone has seen, the chocolate-flavored Kyonotori inexplicably disappears......
The store manager who learned the truth was also very considerate of his subordinates and decided not to punish him, and the incident was successfully resolved so far, which is gratifying and gratifying.
Although it's a pity that you can't eat the chocolate-flavored Kyoto Bird, it is actually quite delicious to eat the matcha-flavored and bean paste-flavored Kyoto Bird that Xiaolan brought during the investigation.
"Hey, Xiaohui, Mayu, you eat so little, it doesn't matter if you eat more?" Seeing that Mayu and I didn't eat as much as other children, Xiaolan couldn't help but smile and said to me and Mayu.
"Ah, no need, Sister Xiaolan, this thing is too sweet, Mayu and I have just eaten snow sponge ice, and it's a little greasy...... "When I reacted, I realized that I had already said something wrong, so I hurriedly covered my mouth, but unfortunately, it seemed too late......
"Eh, I ate snow during the investigation......"
Low pressure is brewing!
"Sister Xiaolan, wait a minute! I can explain! I was wrong!"
"Q&A is useless!!"
"Ahhhhh!!!h
ββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββ
PS: I'm so tired of writing, but it's a pity that I didn't make it before twelve o'clock, sorry.
