Conan's grammatical investigator

Chapter 529: Children Don't Fall in Love Early

"The king in yellow?"

When Qin Zhibo mentioned this word, Conan felt a little familiar.

Conan had seen Qin Zhibo take away a book called "The King in Yellow" in the mansion of the president of the Ghana Music Company before.

Conan looked up at Mao Lilan who was leading the three little ones in the forest looking for matsutake not far away, and his brain recalled the experience a year ago.

A year ago, I had just finished my final exam and took Mao Lilan to travel to New York, USA, and solved the first murder case in my life on the plane.

Since then, Kai Hang's life has been out of control.
After getting off the plane, Yukiko came to pick herself up with Mao Lilan and headed to the Ghost Theater on Broadway.

There, I met actress Sharon Wynyard and watched another stage play.

The name of that stage play is called "The King in Yellow".

It’s just that the show wasn’t over yet. Halfway through the show, the actor who played the role of “The King in Yellow” was killed by an actress on the stage. King" role.

When the actress said like a fanatic, "He clearly knows that I love the character 'King in Yellow' so much that I can't extricate myself", everyone present was stunned.

king in yellow
"Is the 'King in Yellow' you're talking about a stage play?" Conan raised his head and asked after finishing his memories.

This made Qin Zhibo's heart tremble.

Conan actually knew
"The King in Yellow" is essentially a script for a stage play. I didn't expect Conan to know even this, which is a bit too "erudite".

But Qin Zhibo thought about it for a while, and didn't continue to ask, but just shook his head lightly.

"No ..."

"I just said it offhand."

Seeing Qin Zhibo's blank expression, Conan wanted to ask something, but Kojima Genta over there had already complained.

"I'm so pissed off! The uncle at the hotel said that there are a lot of matsutake growing here, but I didn't see half of them!"

Kojima Motota transformed himself into a stupid groundhog, digging vigorously into the soil under the tree roots with both hands, without even considering that matsutake mushrooms would never grow into the soil.

On the other hand, Mao Lilan didn't spend much effort, she picked two matsutakes just by luck, and seeing that Yuantai was unhappy, she said softly, "Yuantai, how about I give you these two matsutakes?"

"No! What's the point if you didn't find it by yourself!" Yuantai Youcai pursued again, and retorted: "Matsutake ranks first in the value of food in autumn. If I can eat one that I picked by myself, that would be a great feeling." It's great."

At this time, Haibara Ai, who heard the sound, said: "The Japanese are the first people in the world to pursue matsutake. In ancient times, only the royal family and nobles were eligible to enjoy the food. In the Edo period, it was only used by wealthy commoners. It shows its identity and is called a 'sacred fungus'."

“It is said that matsutake was the first plant to grow out of the land after the atomic bomb”

Mao Lilan next to him nodded in agreement after hearing this, "I seem to have seen this on TV, and there is indeed such a thing."

Mao Lilan originally wanted to use this to gain Hui Yuan Ai's approval and to strengthen her relationship with this somewhat indifferent child, but Hui Yuan Ai "changed her mind" again.

"However, I think it's good to just listen to this kind of legend. Even if the first matsutake really grows on the land after the nuclear explosion, it may not be edible, and there may still be terrible radiation left on it. "

This extremely forceful rebuttal made Mitsuhiko's head tremble, and he felt a little heartbeat.

Matsutake history, nuclear bombs, radiation. She understands so well!

In Mitsuhiko's eyes, the already cute Haibara Ai has an aura of knowledge added to her body.

Qin Zhibo was also watching Huiyuan Ai together, but Qin Zhibo didn't yearn for Huiyuan Ai, but simply remembered that he once swam in the sewage after the nuclear bomb exploded.

Haibara Ai seems to be a student of biology, so I should find an opportunity to ask her how to confirm whether she has been exposed to nuclear radiation, so it will be safer.

Conan, who is also the "god of erudition", didn't feel that there was anything super-classical about Haibara Ai's knowledge. When he turned his head, he found that Mitsuhiko and Qin Zhibo were paying attention to Haibara Ai at the same time.

Conan: "."

Qin Zhibo's expression is quite normal, but brother Guangyan's expression is a little bit.
"Yo, you're blushing."

Qin Zhibo turned his head and noticed something wrong with Guangyan's expression.

"I don't have it~" Mitsuhiko blinked and dodged his eyes embarrassedly.

Seeing this scene, both Conan and Qin Zhibo realized that the child was in love.

"It's not good to fall in love early. Listen to my uncle. Don't fall in love early. It will delay your studies." Qin Zhibo persuaded in the tone of a Chinese-style parent.

Conan on the side blushed a little, remembering the experience of falling in love with Mao Lilan at first sight when he was in kindergarten.

"Ahem. Well, in fact, it's okay for a child to fall in love, but it depends on whom."

"The one you're looking at isn't Hui Yuan Ai?"

Qin Zhibo and Conan are like parents. If you say something to me, Mitsuhiko will not be able to do it anymore.

"Ah! Actually, I don't have any other meaning."

Before Mitsuhiko could quibble, Conan put his hands on Mitsuhiko's shoulders, and said in a deep voice: "Mitsuhiko, listen to me, it's not that I poured cold water on you, but give up on her, Huiyuan is definitely not someone you can chase after." .”

In fact, Conan's subtext is: Give up, if you want to catch up with Haibara, you have to be able to deal with a long-haired man who drives a Porsche.

Qin Zhibo next to him also nodded in agreement, "Conan is right."

This 1V2 scene made Mitsuhiko a little overwhelmed.

And Haibara Ai in the distance looked at the two who were trying to persuade Mitsuhiko to leave, with a big question mark on his head.

Are they joining the discussion of mysticism in La Guangyan?

After a while, Kojima Moto was so exhausted that he gave up.

Conan popularized science in a timely manner and suggested that matsutake is more likely to be found under the yellow-green red pine trees.

When everyone got the clue, they dispersed and acted immediately, and joyful sounds of harvest came from all directions.

When the picking was almost done, when they gathered again, they found that there were fewer people, and Yuan Tai, who was the most bluffing, was missing.

Based on the soil on the barbed wire, Conan immediately analyzed that Yuanta had crossed the first barbed wire and entered it.

He didn't have his detective medal and couldn't communicate, so he had to send someone out to look for it.

Qin Zhibo, who has the spell of finding objects, wants to stand up and look for it, but the problem is that the mesh of the barbed wire is too small for adults to step on it, and only children can climb over it.

It seems to be God's will
In this way, the four little ones first climbed to the opposite side of the barbed wire to look for Yuan Tai, while Qin Zhibo and Mao Lilan had to go around to the barbed wire gate to enter.
