Ayumi, Mitsuhiko, and Motota thought about it for a while and found that they had no idea and gave up, after all, this kind of riddle Conan can quickly give an answer.

But after waiting for a while, Conan didn't say anything.

Kaedehara glanced at Conan and saw that he was still wandering. Gray Yuan Ai didn't seem to have any intention of speaking first, and the field suddenly became embarrassed.

“……”

Glancing at Dr. Asasa and seeing that the doctor was expectantly waiting for him to break the siege, Kaedehara spoke:

"It's because the cursive script of the hi character looks like a vertical seventy-seven."

"And Bai Shou means one out of a hundred." Gray Plains continued.

"Oh," Mitsuhiko thoughtfully added new knowledge to his reserve, "I used to think that you two know a lot as well as Conan, but Conan is so quiet today..."

"Yes! Conan, what's wrong? Ayumi said with concern.

"Huh?" Awakened from his wandering mind, Conan subconsciously responded, "No, it's nothing, I'm just thinking about the problem..."

"What!" Motota said, "Conan is so stupid today! ”

"Conan is a bit like Kaedehara when he's quiet!" Mitsuhiko said, "... It can't be that the two of you have swapped identities, right? ”

"Huh?"

"How is that possible," Detective Genta vetoed, "with a smirk on his face, it must be Conan!" ”

Conan was trying to hide his thoughts by selling Meng at this time, and when he heard Yuanta's words, the expression on his face instantly stiffened.

Seeing that Conan was a little embarrassed, Dr. Asa threw out the question he had carefully prepared, and helped him solve the siege by the way: "The next question, guess what!" What should a person call his forty-fourth birthday? ”

The new riddle immediately caught the attention of elementary school students.

"Forty-four..."

"The hint is that it's made up of one kanji and three katakana," Dr. Asa said triumphantly, "and the word shou can be ignored." ”

The elementary school students get together and start thinking about Dr. Asasa's riddle, and Ash Hara glances at Kaedehara next to him and finds that he doesn't seem interested as usual.

Conan on the other side thought for a moment and then showed a speechless expression.

"Doctor, I guessed," Conan said with dead fish eyes, "but it's too unnutritious. ”

"Really?" Conan was the first to speak every time, and Dr. Asa was not surprised, but looked at Kaedehara and Ashbara, "That little empty and little mourning, did you guess it?" ”

Gray Plains shook his head.

"Doctor, I heard everything you whispered when you moved the tent." Kaedehara replied casually.

“……”

Dr. Asa was a little speechless, but the riddle was originally intended for Ayumi and the other three, and he didn't care about it.

Seeing that Ayumi and the others really couldn't guess, the doctor said, "Okay, the answer is revealed!" Forty-four is exactly half of eighty-eight, right? ”

"Hmm."

"Eighty-eight is rice, and the English word for rice is Rice." The doctor then explained, "Because it's half, it's HanRice, which is half a bowl of rice!" ”

“……”

A gust of wind blew, and the elementary school students couldn't help but shrink their bodies.

……

The next day, the camping ended without a hitch.

The doctor did not forget the agreement with the children, and deliberately took a long detour, planning to take the children over to see the twin towers of skyscrapers.

Sitting by the window in the middle row, Yuan Tai moved uncomfortably and complained, "This seat is too small." ”

"It's all because you sat in the back! The front seat is empty! ”

"Because it seems to be more interesting here!" Motota retorted to Mitsuhiko, "We haven't sat in such a crowded seat since the doctor changed cars. ”

The doctor who drove the car had a black line on his face.

At the beginning, when he didn't change the car, this group of children thought the car was too crowded, but now that he has changed to a three-row car, they feel that it is boring not to crowd...

"Yes," Ayumi agreed, "but I can't sit with Kaedehara and Graybara..."

"It's too crowded." Kaedehara replied, and he and Gray Yuan sat in the back row.

"Hey, Conan," Motota moved again, "squeeze in a little." ”

"Please, Motota," Conan yawned, and then couldn't help but complain, "Who told you to eat five bowls of rice early in the morning." ”

Then he turned to Ayumi again, squeezing that side and saying, "I'm sorry, Ayumi, squeeze a little more." ”

Ayumi blushed and shrunk back.

After waiting for him to sit a little more comfortable, Yuan Tai said, "Mitsuhiko, let's play a game, shall we?" ”

"Then let's play the 30-second guess game." Mitsuhiko seemed to be prepared, reaching out and taking out a chronograph stopwatch from his bag, "How about pressing the stop button after 30 seconds in your mind?" ”

"Good! Let's play together, right? Yuan Tai agreed.

Except for the Doctor, who refused the game because he needed to drive, no one else said no. The game starts quickly.

The first to play was Mitsuhiko who made a suggestion, and he just happened to show everyone how to play. After counting to thirty, Mitsuhiko pressed the stop button. Glancing at the numbers on the stopwatch, Mitsuhiko showed a disappointed look: "40 seconds!" It's been more than 10 seconds! ”

Then came Conan, 27 seconds.

"It's a pity." Mitsuhiko said, almost thirty seconds. ”

Then there is Genta, 59 seconds.

Then there is Ayumi, 30 seconds.

"Exactly 30 seconds!" Conan leaned his head to look at the stopwatch in Ayumi's hand, a little surprised.

"That's amazing!"

"It's just a coincidence..."

Mitsuhiko took the stopwatch from Ayumi and handed it back, "Then it's Kaedehara-san's turn next..."

Gray Yuan Wai no longer looked out the window, but turned his head to look at Kaede Yuan curiously.

Kaedehara closed his eyes and began to count like everyone else, then pressed the stop button.

Twenty-seven seconds.

"It's exactly like Conan!"

"Worthy of twins!"

Conan was a little surprised, but after thinking about it for a while, he thought it should be expected, after all, it was another self.

Then the last one was Gray Hara's turn, and Kaedehara handed over the stopwatch.

Unlike them, Gray Yuan Mourning did not count out loud, but silently counted in his heart.

After pressing the stop button, Gray Yuan didn't look at it, and handed the stopwatch to Kaedehara.

Mitsuhiko also poked his head out and looked over.

Thirty seconds.

"That's amazing!" Mitsuhiko exclaimed, "It's exactly thirty seconds like Ayumi!" Are girls good at this? ”

"It's all like superpowers!" Yuan Tai also said.

"Thanks for the compliment." Gray Plains seemed to be in a good mood.

The elementary school students soon started playing other games, and Kaede Yuan was a little curious, and asked softly to Gray Yuan, "How did you do it?" ”

"Want to know?"

"Yes." Kaedehara's tone was sincere.

“… It's just a few numbers. When you started counting just now, I counted it in my mind. ”

"Just lucky." Gray Plains continued. She expected it to float around thirty seconds, but she didn't expect it to be exactly thirty seconds.

"You're a foul." Kaedehara whispered. According to the rules of the game, you have to count thirty numbers.

"Yes," Gray Yuan leaned in slightly, looking into Kaedehara's eyes, "That... Is Mr. Detective going to arrest me? ”

“……”

"That's right, Conan!" At this time, Yuan Tai suddenly poked his head and looked at Conan, who was across from him, "It was so late last night, who were you talking to on the phone?" ”

"Huh?"

"When I got up to go to the bathroom, I just saw you walking around with your phone..."

"Just waiting for news!" Conan argued, "It's not talking on the phone. ”

"Whose news are you waiting for, Conan?" Ayumi asked.

"It's... It's news from Shinichi's brother," Conan scratched his hair tangled, "he said he had something important to tell me, but he never said it. ”

"You can make a call." Kaedehara suggested directly.

"No, in case it's rejected—" Conan replied without thinking, and then subconsciously shut his mouth. The elementary school students asked curiously, and Conan hurriedly tried to make excuses for perfunctory.

It was in this cheerful atmosphere that the scarab car arrived in front of the twin skyscrapers.
