"Hey, Conan, do you have a cold?"

Hearing the sound of sneezing, Ayumi looked at Conan with concern.

"Uncle Kogoro coughed non-stop last night," Conan pinched his nose, "I guess he infected him." ”

"Please don't infect me. By the way," Kaedehara said, "I remember I had a few masks in my bag... But I can't give it to you right now..."

"Hey, it's not that contagious..."

"Wait, I brought cold medicine," Gray Yuan Ai retracted his gaze from the window, and took out a delicate small medicine box from his new Fusha bag, "Don't forget to bring a mask after taking the medicine..."

"I know, I know, I won't infect Kaedehara..."

Gray Yuan angrily handed the small pill to Kaedehara, and Kaedehara angrily handed it to Conan again.

Conan took the cold medicine and hesitated, "However, there is no water in the car..."

"Wouldn't it be nice to swallow it directly." Kaedehara replied.

"Ah, I brought a water glass..."Ayumi said as she handed over the glass in her hand.

"Thanks, Ayumi-" Conan said, feeling two dangerous glances before quickly changing his words, "Uh, but no, it doesn't feel good to swallow the drug once in a while..."

Conan shoved the small pill into his mouth in an instant.

……

The camping site is in Gunma Prefecture, which has a large number of shared campsites.

They found a nice location.

It's just that soon, Motota, who came down from the doctor's car to help carry things, discovered something that shocked him extraordinarily.

A moment later.

"Really," Motota couldn't help but complain as he looked in the direction the doctor left, "I'm here to camp, but I forgot to bring a lunch box." ”

"Okay, didn't Doctor, Kaedehara, and Gray Plains already go to the store near the campsite to buy them? Hurry up and help. ”

"It's just to buy a few lunch boxes, why go to so many people..."

"Because I forgot to bring rice..."

"Rice, rice forgot to bring too!?" Motota looked back at Mitsuhiko with a look of disbelief.

"yes, didn't you say that? Ah, by the way, Yuantai, you can't listen to anything else after you find out that you don't have a lunch box..."

"How can you forget to bring even the most important rice!"

"Don't complain! Let's set up our tents..."

Now Ayumi is the only one busy by the tent, and Mitsuhiko urges Motota to go over and help herself.

"Hey! Conan, you're here to help, too! Yuan Tai shouted.

"Got it..."Conan, who was wearing a mask, hugged the bench and put it on the table, and replied weakly, "Come here..."

Really, I want to go shopping too...

However, you can't buy it with Maple Hara by yourself and the doctor, in that case, others will have no combat effectiveness, which is reassuring. So after Kaedehara brought it up like this, Conan chose to stay at the campsite.

After all, camping does often come with some troubles...

Although my foot strength enhancement shoes are out of power, at least there is an anesthetic needle watch, which is somewhat guaranteed...

And if he and Gray Yuan follow the doctor...

Hehe, it's even more impossible...

"Ahh

Conan was thinking about it when he heard Motota shout, and when he turned around, he saw Motota picking up a branch and walking up to a young man.

The other party was holding a stool and was about to put it on the ground.

"After this line, it's our territory!" Yuan Tai used the branch to point to a line he had drawn earlier on the ground, "Don't just come in!" ”

"Motota..."Ayumi followed up to persuade him, "The campsite is shared by everyone, so you have to get along well with others!" ”

"Hehe..."

Conan was expressionless as he hammered a nail with a hammer.

After setting up the tent, the next step is to go to the forest to collect scattered branches for firewood.

As in the previous camping days, the schoolchildren walked deeper and deeper, and Conan followed behind with firewood, noticing a wooden sign stuck in the ground.

"Hey, you can't go any further, Yuantai!"

"Huh?" Motota looked back at Conan.

"Here's a sign that says 'Beware of Snakes!'"

"Snake!" Ayumi was a little scared.

"I've collected enough firewood, let's go back to the tent quickly!" Mitsuhiko also persuaded.

"Oh!" Yuan Tai was about to turn around, and then he heard something strange, "Huh? Hey, come and have a look! There seems to be a sound of digging holes! ”

"Holes?"

"Is it a treasure?"

"Just check it out."

Ayumi and Mitsuhiko were overjoyed, and quickly put down the firewood they were holding and followed Motota, and Conan also put down the firewood and followed, and then found that the elementary school students were stunned between the two trees.

Conan followed their line of sight.

Just a few steps in front of them, a man of about thirty years of age was shoveling dirt with a shovel, and at his feet was a shallow pit in which the corpse of a dead woman was unsightly.

"Corpses, corpses..."

"I'm burying a corpse..."

The panicked voices of the elementary school students brought back to the man who was also stunned, and seeing this, Conan quickly raised his anesthetic needle watch and opened the cover.

And then...

"Run, run!"

……

Some time ago.

There was a convenience store near the campground, so Dr. parked his car in the small parking lot in front of the store and walked into the store with Kaedehara and Graybara.

Turning around, the Doctor found something in the corner they were coming to buy.

"Oh, I found it!" The doctor picked up the lunch box and looked at it, "It's a shop on the edge of the campsite, and there are all kinds of camping tools!" ”

"Rice is over here, too," Kaedehara picked up a bag of rice not far away and glanced at the weight of the sign, "Hmm... One bag, two bags, three bags..."

"You've taken too much, haven't you?" Gray Yuan Ai stood beside Kaede Yuan with a few bags of spices, "Even if you want to stock up, there's no need to buy them here, right?" It's a bit more expensive..."

"It's not stockpiling, Mrs. Yuan is always arguing that there is not enough to eat..."

"Huh? Kojima has more than ten bowls of rice per meal, and if this continues, the Doctor will not be the heaviest among us..."

"Hah, haha..."The doctor rubbed his head embarrassedly.

"It's not too bad," Kaedehara said, "It's not good to go camping and make Motota hungry..."

"Yes, yes!" The doctor cautiously expressed his support, "So buy a bigger lunch box too, right?" ”

"Yes, yes..."

"I'll still serve the doctor's meal!" Gray Yuan Wai emphasized with one hand on his waist to the doctor.

"Well, forget it..."

"Then again, can you take it? So many things..."

Gray Yuan said and glanced at the hands of the two. She took the spices herself, the doctor took the lunch box, and Kaedehara had to take several bags of rice, although the car was parked outside the store, but it was quite difficult to just take it to the checkout...

"It's okay, someone will help you get it..."Kaedehara looked to the side, "Right, Sister Sera?" ”

"Huh?" Both the Doctor and Gray Plains were stunned for a moment.

Then they noticed a familiar high school student standing just a few steps away. On the night of saving Conan, they were all impressed by this man's somewhat aggressive performance.

"Oops! It turns out that it has been discovered! With a bright smile on his face, Shiliang Zhenchun showed his little tiger teeth, "Seeing that you guys are chatting so happily, I thought I didn't notice me!" ”

"I happened to see you in the rearview mirror when I got out of the car before," Kaedehara asked, "Are you here to find Conan?" ”

"W-What came to Conan! It just happened! I was going to see the cherry blossoms in Gunma Prefecture, and when I passed by on a motorcycle, I happened to be hungry and came in to see them. ”

"Oh..."

Kaedehara made no secret of his expression.

Shiliang Zhenchun could see at a glance that the other party didn't believe her nonsense at all, but to be honest, she couldn't be regarded as running for Conan, so she didn't have any burden of lying.

"So you're Dr. Asasa, aren't you? It's the first time we've met! My name is Sera Zhenchun! ”

"Ahh You, hello. ”

"You're Grayplain, aren't you?" Shiliang Zhenchun looked at half of his body and hid behind Kaedehara again, and looked at his gray plain mourning, "Hello! ”

Gray Yuan glanced at Kaedehara, and then stretched out his hand to Shiliang Zhenjun, "Hello." ”

Her performance was a bit unexpected by Shiliang Zhenchun, which made her stunned for a moment. Shira Zhenjun hurriedly put the things in his hand into the shopping basket, and then reached out and shook it gently.

This kid...

It must be the one who followed Kaedehara when he was in London...

They must have been to London, but they weren't on the plane's passenger list...

It's weird, and this kid looks a bit like his mother...

"But," Dr. Agasa's voice interrupted Sera's somewhat complicated thoughts, "you've really bought a lot." ”

She was carrying a basket full of drinks and bread.

"Today's lunch and dinner, and tomorrow's breakfast! Because you must not have prepared my share, did you? ”

"That's not necessarily..."Graybara glanced at the bags of rice in Kaedehara's hand, and Kaedehara unceremoniously handed one of the bags to Sera Masumi.

"Huh?"

"Gee, we were wondering if we were going to buy too much...", the doctor picked up another lunch box, "You didn't bring a lunch box either, did you?" ”

"Hmm... Actually, I like bread more than rice," Sera replied, "but it's also exciting to eat with everyone!" ”

As she spoke, she helped put the lunch box in the doctor's hand into her basket, and then glanced at Kaedehara quietly.

Is it so obvious that you want to camp with you?

If you really want to say it, that is, I specially asked Xiaolan yesterday what Conan was going to do today...

Then, with the help of Shinjun Sera, the things were carried to the doctor's car, and they set off for the campsite.

Shinsumi Sera rode a motorcycle behind the doctor's car.

It wasn't far away, and it didn't take long for them to arrive, but Conan wasn't there.

"Strange, why aren't you there?"

"Are you going to collect firewood?" Sera Masumi glanced around.

"Maybe it's where you're going to explore again," Gray Plains said.

"yes... It's better to give Conan a call..."

Kaedehara took out his phone from his pocket, called Conan under the gaze of Seliang Masamu, and put it down after a while.

"What's wrong?"

"It's off. From what I know about Conan, I think his phone is probably out of battery. ”

Kaede Hara couldn't help but complain to Conan in his heart. This guy always doesn't know how to charge the props until they're out of battery, not just for the phone, but also for the detective props that the Doctor gave him.

Crucially, he will always encounter the urgent need for these props when they run out of power.

Kaedehara is used to this.

"The signal doesn't seem to be very good around here..."The doctor went into the tent and looked at it, "their detective badges are in the tent too..."

"Yoshida and Tsuburaya's phones are also left here," Ai Ashbara looked back at Kaedehara, "Can you get through Kojima's phone?" ”

"He didn't bring it at all, he said it when he was at the doctor's house."

"Let's go find out, then?" Sera suggested, "I know where to pick up firewood." ”

The woods were right next to the campsite, so they went into the woods and started looking for them.

A moment later.

"I see," said Shinjun Sera, "you always encounter all sorts of things when you go camping..."

"Yes, yes," the doctor nodded.

"But it's no wonder, after all, detectives and cases are always attracted to each other," Sera Shinjun glanced at Kaedehara, "I sometimes think that there are a little too many incidents!" ”

"Conan, Ayumi, Motota, Mitsuhiko! Where are you? Answer what you hear! ”

The voice of shouting came, and the conversation between Sera and the doctor was interrupted again.

In front of them, Kaedehara was holding up his phone. Every few seconds his phone was recorded, and the group walked through the woods looking for and talking.

"You're really going to be lazy...", taking advantage of the interval between the next recorded voices, Gray Yuan said to Kaedehara.

"That's what technology is for... Wait a minute. ”

"What's wrong?" Shiliang Zhenchun looked at it. Kaedehara's voice finally increased, obviously speaking to her and the doctor.

Kaedehara didn't reply, but paused the recording and walked not far away. Sensing the anomaly, Ash Yuan Ai and Sera Masumi hurriedly followed, and then saw him pick up a ring from the ground.

"Pass for the Mystery Train..."Gray Yuan's face changed slightly.

If you drop here, it means...

"There's a few piles of firewood over here!" The Doctor was a few steps away, "They should have put it here..."

"I guess there must have been some accidents..."Shira Zhenjun was also worried.

Kaedehara put the ring back in his pocket and walked over a sign warning of snakes.

There were small mounds of dirt that were not clearly turned over, which seemed to be traces of excavation. The others hurried to follow, and then found the half-buried, dead female body.

"Corpse, corpse—" The doctor's face changed suddenly.

"Doctor, call the police!"

Gray Plains hurriedly reminded the doctor. Although she can call the police herself, it is obviously more convincing for an adult to call the police.

"Also, let them send a search party."

"Ah, good..."

The doctor quickly took out his mobile phone and started to make a call, the signal here was not very good, but after trying, it still got through.

"Not long after death..."

Kaede Yuan stood on the edge of the pit and glanced at the corpse, "The murderer should have killed her somewhere else and brought her here directly, thinking that no one would come in if there were snakes here, and she would be buried here..."

"There are footprints here," Shira Masumi looked at the traces of the scene, "Judging from the size, these are the footprints of an adult male, and there is only one..."

"That is," concluded Ashbara, "there was a man who buried the body here, only to be found by the Edogawa them, and then they were chased by the man?" ”

"yes," Kaedehara looked in the direction of the footprints, "he threw the shovel here halfway through and ran in this direction..."

"Isn't that weird, though?" Gray Yuan was a little puzzled, "If there is only one person on the other side, Edogawa should be able to solve it, there is no need to run... Unless..."

Gray Yuan's face changed slightly, "Gun? ”

"But the dead were hacked to death with an axe..."Sera looked at the wounds on the corpse.

"Hmm... Today he only has an anesthetic needle watch on him... I guess he was trying to dodge something when he was about to watch with the anesthetic needle or was pulled and didn't shoot..."

"Huh?" Gray Plains was a little puzzled.

"Look, there's a slippery foot here..."Kaedehara pointed to a mark between the two trees, "This should be Conan's footprints, judging from the direction of the drag on the ground, he looks like he was being dragged to escape..."

Although it's not obvious, it's another self after all, and the shoes I'm wearing are also the same foot-strength enhancement shoes, so this footprint can almost be said to be my own footprints, and it's not difficult to identify for Kaede.

He half-hung his right foot and compared it on the mark, and it was exactly the same, "There's no reason why Conan would be slower than Ayumi and them, so I guess he was doing something when he was suddenly pulled and ran away..."

“… Then the anesthetic needle was shot crookedly. ”

"yes... That's why Conan had to run..."Kaedehara raised his anesthetic needle and compared it to where the prisoner had dropped the shovel, and then looked back at the doctor who had finished calling, "Doctor, you're just waiting here for the police to come!" Gray Plains and I went to find them! ”

"Ah, okay."

"Hey, you'll only get lost in the forest if you look around without a clue!" Shira Zhenjun objected, "It's better to leave the search to the search team who are more familiar with this mountain, right?" ”

"I'm not clueless."

"That's right, tracking glasses!" The Doctor's face was overjoyed, and then his face fell again, "Oh no, I took your tracking goggles to add night vision, and I haven't returned them to you yet..."

"It's alright, Doctor, I can find them." The doctor looked a little annoyed, and Kaedehara hurriedly comforted, "And Gray Yuan and I both have mobile phones and detective group badges, so we won't get lost." ”

"Then I'll be with you," said Sera Masumi.

"No, you'll have to stay here with the doctor."

"Huh? Why? ”

"After Ash Yuan and I left, it would be dangerous for the Doctor to stay here alone if the prisoner returned here. Sister Sera, you're going to cut Kune To, right? ”

"What about you?" Seliang Zhenchun questioned, "If you run into a prisoner, you two children..."

"It's okay, I wish I could meet him right away..."
