Not only is Haibara’s difficulty high, she can also conquer higher levels of difficulty and make people completely devoted and obedient to her.

Horrible woman.

Conan shook his head.

Last time, Ayumi mentioned that Huihara has someone she likes, although she didn’t name anyone, but it’s Winnet Moriarty. Although I admire Mitsuhiko’s spirit of challenge, in comparison, Yugong moving mountains and Jingwei filling the sea are much easier.

Having said this, he put his hands in his pockets, shook his head and walked to the back.

Soon, there was one more sad person in the world.

“Ah, I am really useless. The atmosphere has become so tense. Why can’t I say anything?”

He fell into the shadows.

Scratching his head, Conan decided not to think about it anymore.

At this time, Ayumi found a mushroom growing at the root of a pine tree and guessed it was a type of matsutake. Conan answered that it was a poisonous mushroom called Tengu. He focused on today’s activities to change his mood. Just before the official search for matsutake began, Genta sat down next to the pine tree with a frustrated look on his face.

“Oh, I can’t find it anymore! I don’t have any clues at all!”

“Of course there are clues.” Conan said.

He told Yuantai to pay attention to the condition of the pine trees. Matsutake usually grows at the roots of pine trees to absorb nutrients, so the probability of growing Matsutake is higher in pine trees that look green and yellow, with weak pine needles. Pine trees usually grow well in an environment with good sunlight, drainage, and ventilation. Therefore, pine trees with yellow needles in such an environment are likely to have Matsutake growing at their roots.

Conan said, squatting in front of a tree trunk:

“Look, haven’t we found the criminal?”

They came closer and saw that there was indeed a mushroom growing on the root of the tree.

“This matsutake mushroom is so beautiful!” Dr. Agasa exclaimed.

Winette was not impressed by Edogawa’s way of thinking, which viewed everything as a case or a criminal.

She admitted that he was a detective with a wide range of knowledge, but this science education came at the wrong time. She wanted Ai to teach her, just like what happened in Mingmei’s story. However, after he made this suggestion, the Junior Detective Team dispersed in order to quickly find better and more matsutake mushrooms.

“If you just sit there like this, you’ll have no choice but to lick the empty plate at night.” Xiao Ai said.

Miss Winnett said she had poor eyesight, but this time it wasn’t a complete excuse, the color of the matsutake mushrooms was similar to the brown soil, they were small, and they were rooted in the roots of the trees, so they were not easy to find.

“Alas, there is nothing I can do about you! I will take the trouble to pick your share as well.”

“Hey, I can help, too.”

“Well, follow me.”

Xiao Ai also gave a hint of color when she said this, which meant, “Let’s look for its trace together.”

She went in a different direction from the others, but she didn’t stray from the wide woodland, and she could confirm the positions of the others by just looking back. Ai’s observation ability was strong, and Winnet let her ride on her shoulders. After circling around twice, she pinpointed several targets. As soon as she got under the tree, she immediately found the clumps of matsutake mushrooms, which even Winnet could see clearly. She called Ai amazing, and Ai humbly attributed the credit to Edogawa who gave her the method. At this time, the bewildered Conan walked over and said:

“Have you two seen Yuanta?”

……

522 Aren’t foxes members of the Canidae family?

“That’s true. I’m a little uncomfortable with the sudden silence.” said Ai.

Ayumi and Mitsuhiko came over with matsutake mushrooms in their arms.

“I guess he went somewhere to pee,” Ayumi said.

Mitsuhiko agreed with her guess and added:

“I just saw Yuantai gulping down a lot of mineral water!”

Dr. Agasa looked around in annoyance. If he got lost in this forest, it would be a big deal. This place was close to the main road and there were signs of human intervention, so it was quite wide.

“I think we should go back to where we were just now.”

They had no choice but to do as the doctor said and return the same way.

Along the way, Winnett paid special attention to the movements around her. She was so excited to be with Ai that she was so focused that she ignored the surrounding environment and didn’t even notice when Yuanta disappeared. She thought that Dr. Agasa had repeatedly reminded her not to act alone when driving, but Yuanta didn’t take it to heart.

The temptation of Matsutake is too strong for foodies.

This was the only reason Winnett could think of for him to leave the team.

They returned to the area where the staff had guided them.

Xiao Ai looked around, searching for Yuan Tai. Winnett put on leather gloves, found a slightly leaning tree, and jumped up from a high place, wrapping her legs around the rough tree trunk, half-hugging the tree with one hand and blocking the light from her vision with the other hand.

“Did you find anything?”

Xiao Ai looked up at her from right below.

Winnet shook her head. The view from the woods was limited, and the surroundings were all similar. However, the barbed wire was very close, and the silver fence seemed like a dividing line.

“Maybe he went to the other side of the wire.”

Hearing this, Xiao Ai sighed and walked towards the direction of the barbed wire. Edogawa was patrolling the barbed wire like a forest ranger.

“Winette said she didn’t see Yuanta, what about you?”

Conan stopped; he confirmed Winnet’s inference that Genta had crossed the wire fence. His speech called everyone over, and he began to explain that there was very fresh soil on the wire fence, and that the pine trees with yellow needles were everywhere on the other side of the wire fence. Dr. Agasa touched his chin and looked troubled. It turned out that just before the holiday, Genta gave him the detective armband to be repaired, and the tracking glasses could not be used.

Conan showed an expression that he was annoyed. He stepped on the wire with one foot, turned his head and said to them:

“In that case, let me find him. You guys just stay here.”

Ayumi and Mitsuhiko made dissatisfied noises.

“You want to act alone and then be a hero, right?”

“Let us go along and look for it! I’m so worried!”

Then, Conan smiled awkwardly, pointed at the barbed wire, and wanted to ask them to give up.

At this time, Xiao Ai pulled Winnet’s arm and suggested:

“In that case, I have a suggestion. I will form a team with Winnett, and you will be in a team with Yoshida and Tsuburaya. We will split up to look for people. During this period, Kojima may come back here at any time, so the doctor will stay here on standby. How about it? It’s more efficient this way than looking aimlessly by yourself, right?”

Conan nodded and looked at Ayumi and Mitsuhiko.

“But, Haibara, you have to be careful. After crossing the two barbed wire fences, it is the hunting area. In the past, people who picked wild vegetables in the hunting area were considered prey and shot. This is not uncommon in Japan alone.”

“Thank you. This is probably because you care about us. However, if you encounter any danger, please call us immediately.”

“it is good……”

Conan responded helplessly. If they really encountered an animal like a bear or any unexpected situation, they would still need Winnet’s help.

But then again, why are they grouped together?

He thought that it would be more efficient if Winnet was in charge of the detective team and the two of them searched separately.

Be special!

Ha ha.

Couples are so annoying that they stick together regardless of the occasion.

Dr. Agasa concluded.

“Then we’ll meet here in an hour. If we can’t find anyone, we’ll go back and ask the hotel staff to help us look for them. Let’s get started!”

His call, like that of a little kid, was also responded to.

Climbing the wire mesh is easy for a small child with a small body weight, but Edogawa can still be seen to be agile and nimble. It seems that the change of shrinking has made him more flexible. He climbed to the top in a few steps and was able to hold Ayumi with one hand. However, the other person was a little absent-minded. Winette saw Mitsuhiko climbing the wire mesh slowly, looking down from time to time, and guessed that he wanted to copy Conan’s behavior, and the target was only Ai.

Winnet knew that it was childish to argue with a child, but she still felt bad. Ai tugged at her trouser leg and said, “Hey, what are you still daydreaming about?” Then she climbed up first.

Miss Winnet was very distressed. She missed the opportunity that Mitsuhiko had imagined. She imagined that she would hold Ai in one hand, step on the wire mesh with one foot, jump up, and then spin to the ground, to show her strength. Seeing that Ai had already climbed to the top, Winnet had no choice but to follow suit and climb over.

“What were you daydreaming about just now?”

“Ah, nothing.”

“You really can’t lie. It’s obvious that acting in front of others is very natural for you, or are you the type who can only show your talent in front of an audience?”

As Ai spoke, she looked around. They chose different directions from Conan. Winnet thought that she shouldn’t hide it. So she said what she was thinking.

“Is this considered praising me for being attractive?” Ai didn’t smile when she joked, “You are really seriously ill. You are actually jealous of a child.”

Ai didn’t care about Winnet’s words at all. If it was really like what Winnet said, if the other party brought it up, she would just refuse it naturally; although she could understand the young and ignorant hearts that had nowhere to go, she couldn’t help but think that children nowadays were too precocious. The child next to her also fell in love at the age of fifteen. As for herself, she had never thought about that kind of thing before meeting Winnet.

After all, the kind of emotion that forcibly connects two people together will only bring burdens to each other and yourself.

She turned around and smiled faintly.

As expected, they were all weak. As long as they stayed together in the dark valley, it didn’t matter how much they fell into depravity. But now, she had walked into the sunlight. If she wanted to continue walking, she could only take Winnet to the vague boundary of the shade of the trees and hide and go on.

“Don’t worry. After tasting you, nothing can move me anymore.”

She said it casually, but it made Winnett squirm. Then, she naturally called out “Kojima-san” and ordered Winnett to join her. To no avail, she then said:

“I’m not teaming up with you to have a secret tryst with you. I’m teaming up with you to find Kojima-san as quickly as possible. It’s time to show off your tracking skills a little bit.”

“I’m not a hound!”

“Aren’t foxes canines?” Ai played dumb.

……

523 I and the little bear are so cute

“Nowhere.”

“Wagging its tail and coming forward to seek affection is exactly like a fox, isn’t it? Well, let’s find someone quickly.” Then Yuantai’s name was called out one after another.

Winnett’s head drooped, which made her feel frustrated, so she focused on searching for Yuanta, thinking that finding him would improve her image to some extent.

At the beginning, Winnett called Yuanta’s name normally. She was dizzy by the consistent colors and similar scenes of the forest, and relied on her memory to locate herself. When she came to the second barbed wire fence, Winnett stepped on the grid, climbed to the top, supported her body with her arms, and looked around.

At first she thought she could find him quickly, but Yuan Tai was wearing a brown-green shirt and pants that matched the color of the bushes, and his hair was not dense and he was short, so she might not be able to find him even if she saw him. Then she changed her strategy. She focused on her hearing and looked for any movement. In addition to the pine caterpillars that were everywhere in the forest, there were also rabbits and squirrels.

Winnett took out nuts from her pocket, seduced a squirrel, and took it to Ai. Although Ai still insisted on searching for Yuanta, she couldn’t ignore the cute little animal and held it in her hands for a while. But the squirrel seemed to have paid time, and after a while, it puffed up its cheeks and ran away.

“It’s time to prepare for winter.”

Xiao Ai glanced at the sky. The light was already dim and it would be evening in about two hours.

After going around in a semicircle, they returned to another diameter point, where the barbed wire was right next to it.

Xiao Ai glanced sideways and found a hole in the wire fence, just big enough for a child to pass through.

“Hey, do you think Yuantai has already crossed the second barbed wire fence?”

As soon as she said this, Winnet heard a noise on the other side of the wire fence. This time the noise was louder than the hare, and it was probably caused by Yuanta. Even Xiao Ai heard it. She and Winnet looked at each other, then slowly walked to the wire fence and observed the hole.

“But that’s the hunting area. No matter what, we shouldn’t take such a risk.”

“He is just an elementary school student. If he has already crossed the first wire fence and got lost in the forest, it would be difficult for him to figure out whether the other side of the wire fence is a pine mushroom forest or a hunting area.”

If he were a calm junior high school student, he might make a rational judgment and wait for rescue. However, if he were a member of the reckless young detective team, he might risk his life. Every time Edogawa turned the tide, he gave them the illusion that they could continue to play. Therefore, Winette believed what Xiao Ai said and wanted to hold Xiao Ai over the iron net.

Before she could speak, Xiao Ai had already crawled on her belly and was about to crawl through the hole. Winnett quickly said:

“I’ll just carry you over there!”

“It’s easier this way. Besides, I don’t like being held by you. The way you hold a child like that hits right on the nail on the head.”

“I’m sorry I didn’t pay attention to your mood.”

“Don’t worry, just let me hug you enough later.”

Xiao Ai heard the rustling sound again.

“Where did it come from?”

“This way.” Winnett said, and then approached the bush and called Yuan Tai, “Yuan Tai, come out quickly, let’s go back!”

She moved closer to the bushes, and the leaves and vines swayed even more violently.

Winnet judged that this was definitely not a rabbit, but a movement consistent with the size of an elementary school student.

“what……”

When Winnet saw “Yuan Tai” popping up, she was speechless.

“what happened?”

Xiao Ai rushed over.
