Saturday, July 20th, afternoon, Onogami Station, Shibukawa City, Gunma Prefecture. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

This is the nearest railway station to Hakoshima, Higashimura, Azuma-gun, and you can reach Hakoshima in about 30 minutes on foot, and Conan and others got off the train and asked the station staff about it, and learned that there was a lemon-flavored child who asked how to get to Hakoshima in the afternoon. ……

On the way to Box Island.

Wiping his sweat, Motota couldn't help but complain: "What the hell is this guy Mitsuhiko doing, why did he come here." ”

Ayumi said, "That said, let's find it." ”

Gray Yuan said: "It's very strange, Tsunoya-san, who has always been cautious and doesn't act without permission, will run into the mountains alone without us knowing it this time. ”

Dr. Asa laughed, "Maybe he's doing it for some special reason." ”

Yuan Tai asked, "A special reason?"

Dr. Asa fantasized, "It's like he met a girl on the road, fell in love with her at first sight, and followed her to this place in a trance." ”

Ayumi blinked, "Love at first sight?"

Dr. Asa asked rhetorically, "Isn't it often said that the taste of first love is sweet and sour and a little bitter?

Conan said angrily: "You can really pull it, Mitsuhiko's actions are obviously premeditated." ”

Gray Plains asked, "Oh, you know?"

"That's right. Conan laughed, "Speaking of which, Dr. Asa is to blame for this."

"Me?" Dr. Asasa didn't understand, "what does this have to do with me?"

"Because of some of your words," Conan laughed, "Mitsuhiko decided to go it alone and surprise everyone. ”

Gray Yuan said angrily, "Can you make it clear." ”

"There are no surprises when you say it clearly. Conan smiled, "I can give you three tips, one is a famous product of Hakoshima, the second is bamboo leaf rice balls, and the third is sunscreen." ”

"What is this?" Genta was confused. ……

Soon after, Conan and the five walked to the Box Island area, and Conan turned on the tracking function on his glasses and found Mitsuhiko's detective badge signal, but the signal was not very good, and the call was not answered.

Dr. Asa said, "Maybe it's in the mountains and forests, affected by the trees, and the signal is not good. ”

Conan said, "Then let's go." ”

Ayumi said, "The sun is going down, we have to find Mitsuhiko quickly." ”……

The five Conan followed the road and soon entered the mountains, and then found some vehicles at the end of the main road, one of which was a police car, and the rest were guard cars, vehicles used by the guards who assisted the police.

Yuan Tai asked, "Is this something wrong?"

Conan said: "It should be the police leading the guards, searching for someone or something, judging from the police force used, it is not a serious incident." ”

Dr. Asasa asked, "Do you want to ask them for help?"

Gray Yuan said: "Let's talk about it when we meet it." ”……

Ten minutes later, Conan and the others met the search team, and then they were handed over to the leader, who turned out to be a police officer from a mountain village.

Officer Yamamura happily asked, "Why are you, are the Maori detectives here too?"

"Uncle Maori is not here. Conan asked, "What are you doing here, officer?"

Motota asked, "Did something happen?"

Officer Yamamura said, "Oh, we received a call that someone in Mt. Haruna was fighting a duel with a knife. ”

Ayumi asked, "Is it like the ancients?"

Officer Yamamura smiled: "That's right, our police found a half-truncated knife in Hazuna Mountain, and after testing, the broken sword was cut by another knife, and our police found the sword workshop that sold the sword according to the inscription on the broken knife, and confirmed that someone bought two knives with the same craftsmanship a week ago." ”

Yuan Tai said with interest: "Wow, there are really people fighting a duel." ”

Conan asked, "Are you sure it's a duel?"

Officer Yamamura asked rhetorically, "Of course, if it weren't for a duel, how could a person buy two knives?"

Gray Yuan said: "Maybe it's a deliberate killing trap. ”

Officer Yamamura said, "That's why we're here." ”

"But why are you here, officer?" asked Dr. Agasa, "it doesn't seem like this is Mt. Haruna, is it?"

"It's true that this is not Mt. Haruna, but it is connected to Mt. Haruna. The mountain village police officer said, "Our police found some blood stains at the scene of the broken knife, because of the mountain rain last night, so I think there were much more blood stains before, and I suspect that one of the duelists was seriously injured, but the surrounding hospitals have not received such patients, so we think that the injured are still in the mountains, but unfortunately the smell of blood was washed away by the mountain rain, otherwise you can use police dogs, and now you can only search on a large scale." ”

"Maybe it's been buried and can't be found." ”

"Uh......" Officer Yamamura couldn't answer, so he diverted the subject, "What are you doing here?"

Dr. Asasa said, "We're here to find Mitsuhiko, and you've seen this kid before, so I'm going to ask the officer to help you find it." ”

"He's ......" Conan was stunned when he found that the tracking map on his glasses was missing.

Gray Yuan asked, "What's wrong?"

"It's out of power. Conan smiled wryly, "I haven't used it for a long time, and I forgot to charge it when I came." ”

"What's out of power?" asked the mountain village officer.

"It's the tracking goggles I invented," Dr. Asa said triumphantly, "and it can track the signals of these detective badges." He pointed to Officer Yamamura.

"You invented it?" Officer Yamamura looked at Conan's detective badge, "I remember selling something similar when I was a kid, and I even bought a detective shippo." ”

Ayumi said, "Dr. Asasa gave us something different. Then used her detective badge to connect with Conan's detective badge.

"You can still talk. Officer Yamamura said in amazement.

"And this. Motota turned on the watch-type flashlight on his wrist.

"I invented this too. Dr. Asa said proudly.

"Really?" said Officer Yamamura, turning on the flashlight he was carrying and comparing it, "It's completely childlike." ”

"Uh......" Dr. Asa was speechless.

Officer Yamamura asked, "Now, since this badge can be called, have you contacted him?"

Yuan Tai said, "Yes, but I don't know why he didn't reply." ”

Officer Yamamura touched his chin and said, "Ah, could it be that I bumped into something and was killed by someone." ”

"Huh?" Ayumi was startled.

Dr. Asa shouted dissatisfiedly, "Hey, don't scare the kids. ”

"I'm just saying one possibility. The mountain village officer said angrily, "Who told you to bring him here?" ”

Dr. Asa exclaimed, "I didn't bring him here." ”

Gray Yuan said to the mountain village police officer, "The problem now is, there is a child who has entered your search area, if something happens......"

"Uh......" Officer Yamamura was speechless.

"Alright, let's go find someone. Conan said, "The mountains and forests are now out of sight. ”

Dr. Asasa said, "That's right, you have to find Mitsuhiko quickly." ”

Gray Yuan said to Conan, "You can tell me now why Mitsuhiko is here. ”

"That's right," said Motota, "Conan, hurry up." ”

Conan said, "Mitsuhiko actually came here because of what Dr. Asasa said, the summer scenery poem. ”

"Summer poetry?" asked Motota, "what is here?"

"Ah, I see. Officer Yamamura laughed, "It must be a firefly." ”

Dr. Asasa said, "I remembered that the water quality here in Hakushima is very good, and fireflies need clean water to grow. ”

Yuan Tai asked, "Then the bamboo leaf rice ball, is it used to wrap fireflies in bamboo leaves?"

Conan said, "That's right. ”

Ayumi asked, "What about sunscreen, can you use it in the forest?"

"I see. "The sunscreen is mixed with insect repellent. ”

Conan laughed, "That's right. ”

Dr. Asa asked, "So you can find Mitsuhiko in the firefly spot?"

Conan said, "I can't be sure about this, but I can look down the water's edge." ”

Gray Yuan said to the mountain village police officer, "Hey, why don't you hurry up and notify the search team by radio, and look for the children first." ”

"Oh, oh. Officer Yamamura complied.

Motota said, "Let's start too, we must find Mitsuhiko." ”

"That's right. Ayumi responded. ……

On the other side, in the mountains.

Mitsuhiko looked at the dark surroundings and didn't know where to go at all, but although he was a little scared, the detective badge on his chest kept making a call to make a call, indicating that Conan had found this place, and Conan had tracking glasses and would definitely be able to find it.

Ayumi and Gray Hara must have come too, and they will be happy to give them the things in their hands when the time comes.

After Mitsuhiko finished pumping himself up, he swallowed his saliva and moistened his throat, which was already so dry that he couldn't speak, found a random direction, and walked forward aimlessly.

At this time, a hoarse voice came from above his head, "Little ghost, is there anything to eat in the backpack?"

Mitsuhiko was startled, looked up and saw nothing, and then saw a black figure slide down from the tree and stand beside him, and at the same time a smell of blood came to his nose, and he couldn't help but retreat.

The dark shadow chased after him and grabbed Mitsuhiko's throat, "I asked if you had anything to eat?"

It was close at hand, and Mitsuhiko barely saw the black shadow, but when he saw it, he was so frightened that his legs weakened, and he screamed in a voiceless voice, ghost!

With long hair, a pale face, raised cheekbones, faint eyebrows, sunken eye sockets, a pair of red eyes, a black trench coat, full of pungent smell of blood, a large number of vines wrapped in his chest and abdomen, and a broken knife in one hand, he was completely a skeleton that had just come to the world from hell.

The visitor saw that Mitsuhiko opened his mouth wide but did not make any sound, and asked suspiciously, "Is it such a coincidence?" and then looked at Mitsuhiko's hands that had been closed, "The hands are also stiff?"

Mitsuhiko nodded hurriedly, and at the same time understood that this person should not be a ghost, and breathed a sigh of relief.

The visitor let go of Mitsuhiko, but Mitsuhiko couldn't stand on his feet under the weakness of his legs, and sat down on the ground.

The visitor asked, "Do you have anything to eat?"

Mitsuhiko nodded hurriedly while signaling that the food was in the backpack behind him.

The visitor used a broken knife to pick open Mitsuhiko's backpack, and the smell of bamboo leaf rice balls immediately wafted out.

The visitor smelled the fragrance and said intoxicatedly: "Ah, it's the smell of rice balls, it's so good, it seems that you don't need to be a starving ghost." ”……
