Chapter 60
She has dark brown waist-length hair.
Her hair is combed back.
She has a few bangs on her forehead.
It is covered by a police hat.
"...."
Hoshinoki looked at the other person.
This policewoman was none other than Yumi Miyamoto, a popular girl in anime.
She was a policewoman in the Traffic Enforcement Division of the Metropolitan Police Department. She was a close friend of Sato Miwako since high school.
The two of them were so close that they could call each other by their first names.
She usually patrolled in a mini police car.
Together with Miike Naeko, she was responsible for tasks such as illegal parking.
"!!!"
"!!!"
A drop of sweat dripped from Miyano Akemi's forehead.
Her hands tightly grasped her seat belt.
Her whole body leaned hard on the seat, as if she wanted to get in.
Huihara Ai's neck was stiff.
She sat in a daze.
"......"
Hoshinoki raised one hand and rummaged around in his clothes.
Finally, he pulled out a card and handed it to Yumi Miyamoto.
"???"
Miyamoto Yumi took the driver's license.
She compared the photo on the license with the photo of Hoshinoki himself.
She asked in confusion:
"This? Is this you?"
""Yes!"
Hoshinoki nodded.
Miyamoto Yumi narrowed her eyes. She carefully compared it again.
Then she returned the driver's license to Hoshinoki.
"I wish you a safe journey!"
Miyamoto Yumi saluted Hoshinoki.
Hoshinoki started the car again.
The car moved forward slowly.
In the rearview mirror,
Miyamoto Yumi stopped another car.
"call...Zhao Sijun! How could you lie? I was really scared just now!"
Miyano Akemi let out a long breath and leaned back in the car seat in a relaxed manner.
"hehe...What a bad personality!"
Huiyuan Ai turned her head to the window.
"Mr. Zhao Sijun! How did you come up with the idea of taking Xiaoai and me on an outing?"
"......"
Hoshinoki did not answer.
He continued to drive on his own.
"hehe..."
"Xiao Ai, what are you laughing at?"
"It’s okay! I just think it’s impossible for one person to overcome loneliness."29
"......"
Xingye Mu's dark eyes glanced back
""Squeak!"
Finally they arrived at their destination.
All three of them got out of the car and closed the door.
In front of them was a small river beach near the river.
The river water made a"gurgling" sound.
Across the river was a quiet forest.
There was no one around and the air was fresh.
It was very suitable for camping.
"Ah, this is a really nice place."
Miyano Akemi walked to the river.
She put her hands on her head and stretched.
Then she looked around.
"There are few places like this in the city."
"The air is so fresh."
Hiroshino opened the trunk of the car and took out several white plastic boxes.
He opened them and saw that they were full of fresh ingredients.
There were all kinds of meat and vegetables.
There was a barbecue grill next to the boxes.
Hoshino put the barbecue grill alone not far from the river beach.
He put the charcoal on the barbecue grill and lit it. After a while, the barbecue grill started to emit thin smoke.
"Oh, sorry, Zhao Sijun! Let me help you!"
Miyano Akemi came to Hoshino Mu with a skewer of meat.
She didn't wait for Hoshino Mu to answer before placing the skewers on the grill one by one.
She looked virtuous and meticulous.
Hoshino Mu left her seat for Miyano Akemi.
She took out the other food from the box. She placed the ingredients together with Miyano Akemi.
"Ah! You look...They really look like a couple."
Gray Hara Ai suddenly came over and teased.
Her face was full of"watching a good show".
From the outside, it was indeed so.
At the grill.
A couple who seemed to be in love.
The girl looked gentle and sunny.
The boy looked elegant and indifferent. With the help of each other, they placed the ingredients in an orderly manner.
During the period, they occasionally interacted with each other.
They were simply a perfect match.
"Xiao Ai! Don't talk nonsense!"
Miyano Akemi's face suddenly turned red.
She didn't know where to put the skewers in her hand.
"......"
Hoshinoki was not in a hurry and placed the ingredients on the grill one by one.
Then he turned to look at Huiyuan Ai.
He said calmly:
"If we were husband and wife, you would be our daughter."
""Puchi!"
Miyano Akemi covered her mouth and laughed secretly.
"!!!"
After hearing what Hoshinoki said,
Huiyuan Ai's face that was watching the show fell instantly. She turned into an indifferent look.
She obviously didn't realize that Hoshinoki would fight back against her with words.
"Okay, Xiaoai, come over and help!"
"You guys just do these things...."
"A lady wouldn't do such a thing!"
Huiyuan hugged her arms and leaned against a tree nearby.
She watched the two of them quietly.
"So what? Where are we going to sleep at night? Are we going to sleep outdoors?"
Huihara Ai asked
"Hey? Xiao Ai, you didn't bring a tent....What?"
"How could I bring him? I didn't even know we were going to this kind of place."
Huiyuan Ai looked helpless.
"ah???"
"What should we do tonight?"
Miyano Akemi's eyes suddenly turned into two small eyes.
She held the skewers in her hand and stared blankly at her sister.
"You ask him! He brought us here."
Huiyuan Ai turned her eyes to Xingye Mu.
Xingye Mu turned his body away silently.
After eating the barbecue, the three of them got back in the car.
"There should be a hotel or something nearby, right?"
Miyano Akemi said with a worried look on her face.
"Who knows?"
Huiyuan Ai looked indifferent.
She leaned her arm on the rear window of the car.
"Hey? There is a blue castle over there!"
Miyano Akemi suddenly grabbed Hoshinoki's arm.
She said excitedly
"Let’s go and take a look?"
""Yes!"
Hoshinoki drove the car to the castle gate.
""Squeak!"
The car stopped and three people got out of the car. What came into view was a very luxurious blue castle.
The castle was surrounded by black fences.
It was obviously a place where rich people lived.
"How can there be a castle in this kind of forest?"
Miyano Akemi asked in confusion
"Maybe it's the interest of rich people."
Huiyuan Ai said lightly.
""Squeak!"
At this time, the sound of a car stopping came from not far away.
"Awesome! It’s so big!"
"But why was the castle built in the woods?"
"I thought, it must be some nouveau riche who bought a house from abroad, demolished it completely, and then moved it here!"
"Very good!"
"Hello! Yuantai!"
The voice of the conversation sounded familiar.
"It's the voices of Professor Agasa and the others."
Huiyuan Ai looked towards the source of the sound and said coldly
"??"
She turned around and walked towards the source of the sound.
Miyano Akemi followed. Hoshinoki stood there and looked at the two figures silently.
He had heard Haibara Ai say that Dr. Agasa wanted to invite her to go camping this weekend.
While Haibara Ai was still hesitating, he invited Haibara Ai to go on an outing.
He was absolutely sure that Haibara Ai would refuse Dr. Agasa's invitation because Haibara Ai was not living in Dr. Agasa's house at the moment.
No matter how good the relationship between Haibara Ai and Conan was, she would not give up the opportunity to go out and play with her sister.
If Hoshinoki came here alone, it would seem very suspicious because Hoshinoki was a man with"family" at the moment. (To read the exciting novels, go to Faloo Novel Network!)
He wanted to use this opportunity to assist Conan in solving the case in order to get high points.
Hoshinoki looked deeply at Haibara Ai's small back and followed.
Not far away, at the door of the blue castle, several figures appeared vaguely.
These people were Conan, Dr. Agasa, Genta, Mitsuhiko and Ayumi
"Ah! It's Huihara-san!"
Mitsuihiko was the first to see Huihara Ai.
He immediately exclaimed
"Oh? It's Haibara-kun!"
Dr. Agasa turned around and walked over.
When he got closer, he looked at the two people behind Haibara Ai.
"These two are..."
"This gentle older sister is Huiyuan's older sister!"
Yuanta ran over and spread out the five fingers of both hands.
He introduced Dr. Agasa
"Hello, Dr. Agasa!"
"I am this child’s older sister, Akemi Huihara!"
"My sister has been taken care of by you every day."
Miyano Akemi smiled very gently and bowed to Dr. Agasa.
"This handsome brother is Huiyuan's brother"
"She is also Xiaolan's classmate!
Ayumi ran to Hoshinoki and took the same pose as Genta.
""Hoshinoki!"
Hoshinoki looked at Dr. Agasa calmly, indicating that he had already greeted him.
"I see, nice to meet you!"
Dr. Agasa looked as if he had suddenly realized something:
"I always heard them mention you before, and today I finally saw you in person!"
His eyes curved into a line. He looked like a kind old man.
Dr. Agasa wore a pair of round glasses on his face.
It added a touch of wisdom to his kindness.
Huiyuan Ai stepped forward and asked:
"Where are you going?"
"We were planning to go camping, but we forgot to bring a tent.
"Great, we can go camping together!"
Ayumi looked surprised
"We also forgot to bring a tent here."
Huiyuan Ai waved her hands helplessly and shook her head.
"Then let's go in and take a look!"
Yuan Tai said excitedly, pointing at the blue castle in front of him.
He suddenly ran over after he finished speaking.
"Hey! Yuanta! What are you doing?"
Dr. Agasa followed closely behind.
"Is there any need to ask? Of course I went in!���He was strong.
But his hands and feet were very flexible.
He clung to the railing outside the castle very lightly. He stepped over the spikes on the fence.
He jumped into the castle in an instant.
Just as Yuan Tai landed on the ground, an arm grabbed the back of his collar and lifted him up effortlessly.
The arm was strong and powerful.
The veins on the surface of the skin were fully visible.
This was a bald man wearing a white beret.
He looked very angry.
He bent down, lifted Yuan Tai close to him, and then opened his mouth and shouted:
"Where did you come from?! Why did you just run into someone else's house?!"
"that...Sir, we are not bad people!"
Dr. Agasa, who was standing outside the fence, hurried forward and said
"Huh? Who are you guys?"
The man looked at Dr. Agasa outside the fence with suspicion.
"We just passed by here! Seeing such a magnificent castle here"
"Actually, I want to ask if...Let's go in and take a look."
A drop of sweat dripped down Dr. Agasa's forehead.
""Everyone, go back here. This is not a place for people like you to come."
The man opened his half-moon eyes and drove everyone away impatiently.
"What's going on?" At this time, a noble-looking black-haired man walked out of the castle.
"Master!"
The man in the beret turned around and addressed the other respectfully.
"There shouldn't be any customers today!"
The old man looked at the man in the beret with a peaceful expression.
"It was that stupid-looking old man who asked me to let them in!"
The man in the beret pointed at the people outside the fence with disgust.
"How rude! What do you mean by a stupid old man! ?"
Dr. Agasa was furious.
"After all, I am a scientist!"
"Oh? Scientist!"
The black-haired man suddenly had a meaningful look in his eyes.
"Yes, I am also a famous Dr. Agasa!
Dr. Agasa stroked his white beard with his fingers proudly.
"Oh? Since you are a scientist, you must be smarter than us ordinary people, right?" The black-haired man's expression suddenly became a little ferocious after hearing what Dr. Agasa said, and then returned to normal in an instant.
"Let them in!"
"But! Sir!"
"If my mother-in-law asks, just say they are my friends!"
After saying this, the black-haired man turned around and walked into the castle.
""Okay!"
The man in the beret looked helpless.
"Hey! Uncle, put me down!
Yuan Tai struggled and said
"Oh, OK!"
The man in the beret put Yuan Tai on the ground.
Then he led everyone into the courtyard of the castle.
"Could you tell us about this castle?"
Dr. Agasa walked forward.
It is worth noting that the garden design in this yard is elegant and unique.
From the outside, it looks like a chess set.
Chess, also known as Western chess, is an intellectual game for two people.
The entire chessboard is square.
It is composed of 64 black and white or light and dark grids.
The chess pieces are divided into black and white or dark and light sides, totaling 32 pieces.
The opposing sides each have 16 chess pieces.
Although it is called Western chess or international chess in Chinese, it actually originated in Asia.
Later, it was introduced to Europe by Arabs.
Thus, it became an internationally popular chess type.
This is also an intellectual competitive sport. It was once listed as an official event of the Olympic Games.
In the courtyard of this ancient castle, the entire chessboard and chess pieces are enlarged and perfectly reproduced.
The lawn under your feet is trimmed into the shape of a chessboard.
The colors are clearly arranged in a square.
There are also several black and white chess pieces on the lawn chessboard.
The size of a chess piece is just the same as that of an 8 or 9-year-old child.
"Wow! That's amazing! There's a horse here!"
Ayumi ran up and picked up a white chess piece.
"But why does it look like only half of the body?"
She looked a little confused.
"Really? There's one here too!"
Yuan Tai also came forward and hugged a black chess piece.
"This is the knight of chess. Look at the grass under your feet. Isn't it trimmed into the shape of a chessboard?"
Huiyuan Ai explained to the two of them.
Dr. Agasa also looked surprised.
He turned his head and looked at the beret butler next to him:
"Who does all this work?"
"I did everything according to the old master's instructions."
"Oh?"
Inside the castle.
The butler in a beret tells everyone about the events that happened in the castle before.
In the ancient tower next to the castle. Asking for flowers and subscriptions.
