The unscrupulous detective in Conan

Chapter 1246 Senior Hong’s move is too cruel!

Huibara walked forward slowly with a pouty face, secretly complaining about Hongye's bad intentions in her heart.

I feel lucky that I observed it in time, otherwise the peaches would have been stolen.

And you said it was like some earthwork...

Are you talking about eating without paying and having affairs?

Haibara Ai secretly complained in her heart.

After all, the Hijikata in history was a guy who could compile the love letters written by a group of geishas in Kyoto into a booklet and distribute it.

"Take me one, take me one!"

Sonoko also quickly walked forward and stood directly next to the statue, striking a cute pose.

She felt that she had to follow suit.

It is too dangerous for Senior, Ai and Momiji to stand together.

Like taking a family photo...

The garden is scary just thinking about it!
Especially Ai, who is a mixed-race, and can match her!

I'm afraid she would just take the photo and put it at home and say that Xiao Ai is her daughter and Senior is her husband, right?
Senior Hong’s move was truly too cruel!

I must go up and resolve this danger.

Fujino didn't think about anything else, he thought it would be nice to take a photo as a souvenir, so he took out his camera and threw it to Bai Ma Tan: "Come on, Lao Ma, take a photo for me."

"..."

Bai Matan looked at the camera he took and felt a little dazed.

No, I'm not a cameraman, I'm a detective!

Ugh!
Despite being a detective, Hakuba can still operate a camera.

After all, the most important skill a detective needs is taking photos and collecting high-definition evidence.

Xiaolan was greatly inspired by the scene before her.

She felt that she could do the same.

Then he was given a realistic lesson by Eri Kisaki and brother Mori.

It's not easy for Xiaolan, she sighs softly.

After visiting for a while, the kids felt a little bored.

Yuan Tai even complained: "So besides this thing, there is nothing else to see here, right?"

“They actually built a tower just for a park.”

“This is no ordinary park!”

Mitsuhiko shook his fingers. "More than a hundred years ago, this was a military fortress. The surrounding area was actually a moat. The overall shape was a five-pointed star. To be more precise, it should be a six-pointed star. After all, there is a small triangle at the bottom. Each corner faces a different side, making it difficult for enemy artillery to accurately hit any side of the fortress. In addition, cannons can be placed on the corners. It can be said to be a fortress as solid as a rock."

"What we didn't expect was that the new government army drove an ironclad warship over and bombed this place. The progress of the Industrial Revolution was demonstrated vividly. The original iron wall was vulnerable to the industrialized warships..." After taking the pictures, Haibara Ai heard Mitsuhiko's popular science and added lightly.

Hongye, who is an expert on Japan, agreed: "Besides its five-pointed star shape, this is also the place where the man who lived and died with me from the formation of the Shinsengumi to its final disbandment died in battle."

"At that time, the new government army had already used guns, but Hijikata was still using his samurai sword in the spirit of a samurai. In the end, when he rushed to help alone, he was killed by a bullet, which also meant the end of the Shinsengumi."

Fujino listened quietly, and probably understood Momiji's love for the Shinsengumi.

To put it simply, the Shinsengumi is a special violent agency of the old shogunate, responsible for daily security patrols and anti-assassination activities. Its members are recruited from a group of country bumpkins, to put it bluntly. To put it nicely, they are a group of civilians who have worked hard to get to the top.

In the early days after the fall of the shogunate, the Shinsengumi, a group of remnants of the old forces, were a group of rats crossing the street that everyone wanted to beat. It was not until modern times that the Shinsengumi made a comeback.

The Shinsengumi used to be mainly active in Kyoto, and the people of Kyoto still have a strong sense of belonging to the Shinsengumi.

Add to that a bit of Japan's unique loyalty, bravery, and he naturally has a lot of fans.

The times' evaluation of a person or an organization will often change with consciousness.

Take Qin Shi Huang for example.

As for the situation at that time, it felt like the old government was in confrontation with the new government. To describe it, it was the Qing Dynasty and the Xinhai Revolution Army. The old shogunate was closed to the outside world and its national strength was weakened, so it was overthrown by the revolutionary army.

In fact, to put it bluntly, it is a game between modern colonial countries. Both sides are supported by foreign colonial forces. France supports the shogunate, and England supports the new government army.

It was just that because of the Franco-Prussian War, France had no intention of coming to the aid of the shogunate, and was eventually restored by the shogunate during the Meiji period.

All we can say is that the feud between Britain and France remains the same as before.

"Okay, don't just look at Wuling Guo."

Dr. Agasa walked to the window and said, "Besides Goryokaku, there are other beautiful scenery here..."

Mitsuhiko nodded: "Yes, the view here is really wide, you can almost overlook the entire Hakodate."

"But if you want to get a bird's-eye view, you'd better go from Mt. Hakodate."

Yuanzi suddenly said, "The view over there at night is very nice. It is said to be worth a million dollars. Do you want to go and see it at night?"

"A million dollars?"

Hongye touched his chin upon hearing this and murmured in a low voice: "It feels so cheap..."

"..."

Everyone looked at Hongye, and they all had speechless expressions, not knowing what to say.

You took the million dollars seriously...

Or do you think a million dollars is cheap?

Yuanzi also looked dead, feeling that this woman was just showing off her financial strength in front of him.

Damn, it's just a million dollars.

If a building in our city is blown up, it will cost tens of millions of dollars. How can we accept it?

…………

When we came out of Wulingguo, it was already noon.

After having lunch and trying the Lucky Clown's burger, we went to the red brick warehouse to buy some snacks. We drove slowly towards Mount Hakodate, stopping occasionally to buy some souvenirs and wander around.

Xiaolan was extremely lucky and won the first prize in a lottery where you could draw lots by buying souvenirs. She was awarded a ticket to go skiing in Hokkaido.

I can only say that Xiaolan's luck is still as good as ever.

But think about this season.

There was no snow.

Where to go skiing?
So what is the significance of this invitation card?
Fujino didn't understand. Would winter be here again soon?

Then, the local Mihua people showed him how to check the weather forecast.

Tomorrow is winter and it will snow!
Fujino looked at the weather forecast and felt that he was still not worthy of being compared with the rice flower people.

Tomorrow is clearly spring!

Today is spring too!

Am I watching the same weather forecast as you?

Soon, night falls.

Everyone took the night sightseeing cable car up the mountain.

The night scene of the city gradually comes into view.

The city lights are so bright that they seem to shine like stars, covering up the real stars in the night sky. Various white lights illuminate the outline of the city. It is not an exaggeration to describe it as a city with dim lights.

“The scenery here is really nice…”

“It feels completely different from during the day!”

Standing on the observation deck, everyone sighed with emotion, and Yuanzi pointed happily: "Look, isn't that Wuling Guo?"

“It seems so…”

Xiaolan nodded, "Those should be Wulingdun, the lights have turned pink."

Hongye agreed: "The pentagonal shape is just like a giant cherry blossom petal." Huiyuan Ai thought for a moment: "So, the so-called million dollars is the electricity cost to supply the lights here, right?"

Conan couldn't help but complain while looking at the scenery: "So why are you focusing on this point..."

"Well, there is indeed a special feeling here."

Bai Ma put his hands in his pockets: "But compared to London, the light here is too heavy, and it feels messy. I still remember that year when I stood on the Big Ben..."

"Old Ma, stop pretending."

Fujino showed dead fish eyes, "We all know that you are a famous detective in Europe."

"Cough hum!"

Bai Ma Tan coughed lightly, a little embarrassed: "I was just expressing my feelings about the difference from London, but looking from this height, it feels quite similar to the perspective of Big Ben."

"Yeah, you're right about that," Fujino agreed, "This place does have the same look and feel as Big Ben."

"Have you ever looked down from the top of Big Ben?" Bai Ma asked doubtfully.

Fujino looked at the unobstructed view of Hakodate and nodded in agreement: "I mean, if we set up a high-precision sniper rifle here, we can probably snipe the entire Hakodate indiscriminately, just like sniping London from Big Ben."

"..."

Everyone was speechless after listening to Fujino's shocking remarks.

Others are just thinking about seeing the scenery, but you are thinking about using a sniper rifle, right?

Hey, don't say weird things like that when others are looking at the scenery!

But it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a sniper rifle.

After all, Fujino was using the anti-aircraft gun as a sniper rifle.

…………

As the night passed, small snowflakes began to float in the sky.

Fujino sat up from the bed in the room. The forest outside the window was already covered in white, as if it was covered in silver. The pine trees were weighed down by the snow, and their straight trunks supported the snow, which occasionally slipped down, splashing bursts of falling snow sounds.

In the morning, early in the morning, the little ones who had bought cotton-padded jackets as expected put on their coats and took Haibara Ai and Conan out to play in the snow.

After all, the Bai Ma family’s yard is quite big.

Bai Matan was wearing a sweater, sitting next to the sofa window in the living room, holding a cup of hot tea, looking at the snow scene outside the window, looking like an English gentleman.

Because of Xiaolan's matchmaking, Kisaki Eri got angry with brother Mori again, and then she went straight to the kitchen to prepare breakfast with Shikibu.

Breakfast is not difficult to prepare, just make some sandwiches and fry some eggs.

Well, there shouldn't be any accidents.

So, Xiaolan and Sonoko were pushed out of the kitchen.

The two of them put on thick coats and took Fujino out for a walk to enjoy the snow.

Hongye followed after hearing what was said.

Her legs were not thin, but rather full of shape. From her thighs to her calves, she was wrapped in thick black stockings. The black curves were clearly different from the snow. Her black leather shoes stepped on the snow, leaving footprints.

Fujino looked at the thick black aesthetic wrapped in black stockings swaying, his eyes narrowed slightly.

So, it really won’t be cold?
In Tokyo, if you are cold-resistant, it is very common to wear a short skirt and stockings.

But the geographical location of Hokkaido is similar to that of Tohoku.

In winter, besides the heavy snow, it is also very cold.

Although the whole of Japan is a long and narrow island country, it is surrounded by the sea.

The same is true for Hakodate in Hokkaido.

But it’s still cold…

Fujino glanced at Xiaolan and Sonoko's smooth legs exposed outside, then looked at the thick black skin of the red leaves and felt that the small red leaves were relatively warm.

They both said that the main point is to resist the cold for the sake of beauty.

He couldn't help but wonder, what if this happened in Dadongbai's Greater Khingan Range or something like that.

If she put on a little skirt and stockings, she would probably freeze to death in a physical sense.

At this time, Hongye turned around and was a little confused.

Then follow the line of sight.

After seeing the place his eyes were looking at, a faint smile of understanding appeared on his face.

Fujino: "..."

So what's with that expression on your face?
She turned her head and looked up at the vast snow in front of her, then looked at the two people beside her, then pretended nothing happened and sighed: "It's snowing..."

"Luckily we went to Wulingguo yesterday, otherwise we wouldn't be able to see the cherry blossoms today."

Xiaolan, who was standing beside him, looked absent-minded: "Yes."

Yuanzi noticed that Xiaolan looked a little strange, and asked in confusion: "Hey, you are not still thinking about bringing uncle and aunt together, are you?"

"Ugh……"

Xiaolan sighed deeply: "I don't know what to do now. They will quarrel as soon as they are a little unhappy, or they will give each other the cold face."

"So, what's going on with them?"

Hongye had heard about Xiaolan's parents, but she didn't know much about them.

Fujino shook his head, discarding the strange feeling, and then explained: "Actually, it's just like what Lao Ma summed up, a proud mother, a face-saving father, and... well, a daughter who wants to make her parents reconcile."

"I see..." Hongye nodded suddenly.

In order to avoid being killed by the Unicorn Tyrant Punch, Fujino did not say those words to his silly daughter.

"That's about it." Xiaolan said helplessly, "It's always like this. After finally getting back together, they suddenly fall apart over a small matter."

"That's what Senior Fujino said..."

Yuanzi waved her hands, as if she saw through it all. "Auntie is a tsundere, and your father is a face-saver. Neither of them is willing to bow their heads first. This is how the bickering couple get along after they get married in those romance comics."

“There is no solution.”

Fujino nodded in agreement: "It is indeed a bit unsolvable."

"Senior, Sonoko..."

Xiaolan still didn't want to give up. "Please don't say such discouraging words. Can you two give me some advice?"

"An idea?"

"What ideas can I come up with? It will all fail in the end anyway."

“You have to give it a try!”

"OK then……"

Fujino and Sonoko looked at Xiaolan and didn't continue to push her. They just started to teach her a trick: "Didn't you win a skiing ticket yesterday?"

"We can go skiing later... this and that, this and that..."

“It will definitely work this time!”

After listening to the two people's words, Xiaolan perked up: "I'll go talk to my mom and dad, and you go ask Dr. Agasa and the children!"

Xiaolan started to act right away. Fujino nodded and turned to walk towards the group of little ones in the yard.

Yuanzi looked at Xiaolan with a helpless feeling, and finally turned around and said: "Hey, Hongye, come with me to Bang Bang Xiaolan."

"I want to see the snow for a while." Hongye was like a curious child. "It doesn't snow often in Kyoto, and it's not this thick."

"what?"

"That's our best friend Lan!"

Yuanzi narrowed his eyes and glanced at Hongye: "You are staying here, are you planning to do something bad?"
