"I'm already starting to regret why I acted with Conan," Gray Grumble, sighing, rather helplessly. "There's always trouble where he's around."

"I'll tell you a ghost story," Chiba said with a sigh behind her, also with an indescribable expression. "Even if we keep our distance from him now, we'll meet again on the Aegis......"

"Just thinking about it makes my head big." Ash Yuan Wai shook his head and chose to continue the work at hand - after such a thing, Qian Yu and Gray Yuan Wai didn't have the heart to continue the previous knee pillow, but doing nothing seemed to be a bit of a waste of time, so the work on Gray Yuan's hand was actually a handmade collar.

As for why Gray Yuan Wai wants to make a collar for Qianyu, it is because of the weather: the current temperature is about 28 degrees, which happens to be the peak period of mosquitoes. In the past, Chiba spent most of the entire summer in all kinds of cold places (the Pearl Tree, which relied on air conditioning to maintain the temperature, and all kinds of interiors. The only time he was outside unprotected was when he was investigating the incident at the Zombie Villa in Hokkaido, where everyone in the Junior Detective Corps was bitten by mosquitoes.

For this reason, when traveling this time, Qianyu deliberately made a mosquito repellent collar for Gray Yuan Ai with Gray Yuan Ai. Eight sets of sustained-release patches are attached around the entire collar, each of which can absorb DEET (DEET) by soaking, and the outermost patch can faithfully complete the mosquito repellent work in 5 hours. After the outermost piece is about to fail, the second piece can be re-repelled for more than 4 hours by simply turning it outside. Each set of three patches can perfectly complete the mosquito repellent work for the whole day - of course, the mosquito repellent effect is limited to the neck, but considering that the ankles of Gray Yuan Ai and Chiba are protected by long pants and socks, and the exposed hands are not easy to attract mosquitoes due to their regular activity, the only risk is the neck skin.

But I don't know why, Gray Yuan Wai seems to be a little repulsive to such jewelry, so it is always by spraying DEET directly to repel mosquitoes. It wasn't until just now that Gray Yuan Ai told Chiba that she was going to wear a mosquito repellent collar.

In exchange, Chiba also needs to wear the same collar - considering that there is only one collar, Gray Yuan Ai is now happily knitting the bracelet and preparing to attach half of the patch box on the collar to this new collar.

"Having said that, do you want to ignore this case and leave the team?" Qian Yu said suddenly. "Fujiwara asked them if we wanted to go back to the hotel with them. The other people suspected of committing crimes have already made their records and gone back, and we are the only ones left except for the uncle."

"Is it late?" Gray Yuan Wai subconsciously turned his head to look at the clock next to him, but let out a cry of pain. "Ahh

"Uh......" Qian Yu, who was originally giving Gray Yuan Ai a massage, quickly stopped. Sorry......"

"It's okay," Gray Plains shook his head. "Since they said they want to go back, let's prepare and go back with them, otherwise it will take a lot of time to go back alone."

……

"What was thrown into Kamogawa?" Officer Ayakoji, who led the team, frowned and looked into Sonoko Suzuki's eyes. "Are you sure?"

"Yes!" The garden nodded vigorously. "I heard the splashing of something crashing into the Kamogawa River."

"......" Ayakoji nodded thoughtfully, turning to the policemen beside him. Check to see if there's anything in the river. ”

"Uh......" Hotaru, who was originally next to her, suddenly looked a little strange, and after glancing at Fujiwara a little unnaturally, the two of them who were a little embarrassed finally chose to leave.

However, just as they were about to leave, an unexpected person stopped them.

"Did you go to Kuramaji Temple today?" Conan asked Fujiwara.

"......" Fujiwara frowned slightly—because this kind of problem is not usually a time-saving development, but he chose to tell the truth in the end, because it would be more troublesome if he didn't. Yes, what's wrong? ”

"Have you seen a guy in a rider's suit and riding a motorcycle around there?" Conan asked. "He was carrying two bamboo tubes on his back, and the license plate number should have been ...... Beijing 92-48. ”

“92-48？” Fujiwara's face changed immediately. "I think yes, we rubbed shoulders with him and we were wondering how a motorcycle could get up to the root road."

"Tree Root Road?" Conan turned his gaze to Heiji Hattori, who didn't know when he had already come over. "Does the location match?"

"Hmm," Hattori nodded. "If you come from over there, it's about the same location."

"What are you asking for?" Hotaru said curiously. "Were you there too?"

"That man attacked Heiji's brother with a bow and arrow," Conan replied. "With genuine killing intent, the kind that almost succeeded."

"Bow and arrow?" Hotaru was slightly stunned. "Is it the big one?"

"Yes," Conan nodded. "It's a wood-colored longbow."

"Longbow, we don't seem to see him with him," Hotaru muttered. "Could it be lost halfway?"

"Hmm-" Conan seemed to be aware of the problem. "That's right...... What about his longbow? ”

"Longbow ......" Hattori Heiji also showed a somewhat confused expression. I don't think I saw it anyway...... Are you sure he's shooting at me with a longbow, not some easy-to-put away crossbow? ”

"For this kind of thing, it might be better to go to Kuramaji Temple tomorrow to confirm the specific material of the bow and arrow," Conan nodded. "If I'm not mistaken, maybe the arrow will still be stuck in the tree when we go tomorrow."

"Well, can we go back?" Hotaru looked at Hattori Heiji and they didn't seem to have any intention of continuing to ask, and asked again. "It's a little late and we want to get back to our hotel as soon as possible."

"Oh, okay." Hattori Heiji nodded hurriedly. "Where do you live? Need us to show you the way? You may not be familiar with this area. ”

"Hmm......" Fujiwara and Hotaru looked at each other. Can you tell us where the nearest station is? I think if we can get to the station, we should be able to go back on our own. ”

In a trash can near the tea house, a spherical plastic sleeve wrapped in a lot of small plastic sleeves and a pebble lies quietly inside.
