Chapter 055: The Strange Forest

"Meow~~~"

Snowflake stretched out on the couch in contentment, and after finding Ashbar, it never ran outside again.

Of course, it admitted that it was still very anxious to wake up and see that Gray Yuan was not there, but fortunately Gray Yuan left a note for it to reassure it, which probably means that the organization is still looking for them everywhere, and if they are still together, there will be a risk of being discovered.

So now it's still going to stay on Katayama's side for the time being, which can be understood by hiding people's eyes and ears.

It's not bad to stay here, Katayama doesn't have a shelf for them at all, and the food is not bad, as long as it's sure that the gray plain is safe, it has nothing to worry about.

"Oh, Snowflake, good morning."

Katayama also walked out of the back room, because renting a house was too expensive, and he was still in a makeshift bed in the utility room.

In fact, it is not expensive, but most of the inexpensive ones are murderous houses that have died...... Although he is not superstitious, he is still a little uncomfortable.

So he simply slept in the café, anyway, upstairs was the Maori detective agency, a Grim Reaper slept upstairs with him, and other ghosts naturally didn't have to worry about anything.

After making breakfast for Snowflake and Zoro, Katayama was idle on the sofa waiting for the opening, and no one usually came in the morning, so he could be idle for a while.

"Boss Katayama! I'm here to check in! ”

Yukiko's voice came, and then the door was opened, and the business sign was also posted by her, and now it was officially open.

"Okay, I'll hand it over to you today!"

When Katayama saw Yukiko coming, he picked up Zorro, who was still asleep, picked up the old turtle and ran out directly, leaving Yukika and Yukiko stunned in the store.........

"Damn! I slipped away again! ”

After half a ring, Yukiko reacted that Katayama had thrown the café to her again! What kind of black-hearted boss!!!

………

Of course, Katayama will leave only if he has something important, because Gray Yuan is collecting information about Ke Xue's pets on the Internet, after all, it is for recovery, and it is good to find a little clue.

Then he handed him an address, and Katayama was ready to set off to see ...... Seems like a small place......

…………

Inoue Yao didn't expect to return to that small place, and she hadn't been back since she left here to go to school in Tokyo.

Morita City is a small town, and most of it is still undeveloped virgin forest.

It is also a miracle that such a place can still be seen in Japan at this time.

The forest here is terrifying, because of the complex terrain, people often go missing in the forest, so it is also called the strange forest.........

She didn't come back to visit her hometown, but as a reporter, back to this strange forest to find the truth of some things.

Growing up here, she knew that the forest wasn't as sinister as people said it was, but she couldn't figure out why people disappeared so often.

This time she came back to investigate the strangeness here! This is the consciousness of being a journalist.

The bus stopped halfway through, and someone was about to get on the bus again.

Then, the front door opened, and a bloated young man stepped into the car.

Why do you say bloated...... In fact, he looks good, and he can be regarded as a handsome guy, but I don't know why his stomach is bulging, as if he has stuffed a bunch of things.

There was no other place on the bus, and the man sat next to her.

She subconsciously moved to the side, probably because of the man's weird belly.........

Unexpectedly, as soon as the man sat down, his stomach stirred, and then, a black and white kitten came out of his neckline.

"Wow...... So cute......"

She couldn't help but marvel at the petite body of this kitten, and its blue eyes, as bright as jewels, were extraordinarily smart.

But the man immediately stretched out his index finger and made a shushing gesture, glancing in the direction of the bus driver.

Seeing that the driver didn't find out, the man breathed a sigh of relief.

"I'm sorry, my cat is clingy to me...... But the bus doesn't allow cats, so ......"

Katayama pretended to cover up that in fact, under this high-risk worldview, the detective is simply a god!

In the world of Yu-Gi-Oh, playing cards can save the world, the Chinese chef can save the world, and in the world of Conan, of course, it is the detective who saves the world!

That's why he had to bring Zorro with him when he went out, the old turtle was to be used as a weapon, and it was small in size, easy to carry, so he had to bring it.

Xuehua is a wet nurse, of course he wants to bring it if he can, but it is a bit difficult for the two cats to bring on the bus, so he has to take one Zorro.

"Hello, my name is Yao Inoue."

Inoue out of etiquette, hurriedly introduced himself, Katayama had no choice but to introduce, neon man this set is trouble, he used to take the car at most with the next seat smiled and nodded.........

"Is Mr. Katayama going to Morita City too?"

The bus has to pass through many places, and the terminal stop is Morita City, so she just asked casually, because Katayama doesn't look like a person who goes out to run errands.

How can anyone go out to run errands with cats.

"Well, that's right, are you also because of the Strange Forest?"

Katayama agreed, because Gray Yuan felt that the forest was a little strange, so he asked him to come and check it out.

Gray Yuan is also like a riddler, and she doesn't know which experiment is likely to appear, and she just says that it is possible here, and there is no follow-up.

In the end, he had to go and see it.

…………

The bus is still running, but it is getting late, because this is the terminal, and naturally it is the longest to drive.

Zorro was already bored and fell asleep in the seat next to him.

Katayama is also drowsy, but given that there is a girl next to him, it is not good if he accidentally falls down when he falls asleep, and he is considered a pervert, so he has been holding back his sleepiness.

Inoue was still thinking about the forest......

There are many investors who are very interested in it and want to make acquisitions.

However, the geographical environment is somewhat complicated, it is separated from the large forest area of Morita City, it is an independent forest, the ownership belongs to the village, and the whole village has to vote on the sale, and the opinions of the villagers are naturally not unified, so the business prospects here are not clear.

It can't be that they deliberately spread rumors for the sake of gimmick expansion of tourism, right?

Because she seemed to have been there when she was a child, and finally came out unharmed.

At this time, none of them noticed that a man dressed in black and wearing sunglasses was sitting in the corner of the last row and was sleeping soundly.

If Katayama looked back, it was estimated that his hairs would stand on end...... It was clearly Gin's younger brother and driver...... Vodka!
