Conan: This repairman is not very knowledgeable

Chapter 374 “Uninvited Guest”

The time to go camping soon came.

"Wow, it's Mount Fuji!" The three little ones were sitting in the doctor's yellow Beetle car, looking ahead and shouting happily.

In addition to views of Mount Fuji, the road also offers views of the newly constructed twin-tower skyscrapers of Nishitama City.

"Nishitama City..."

"I remember that guy's name is Moriya Teiji?" The atmosphere in the red pickup truck was a little different. Lin Feng glanced at the building in the distance and asked the famous detective.

The guy with a mustache who placed bombs all over Tokyo.

"It's because the renovation plan of Nishitama City was interrupted by a detective like me..." Conan heard the architect's name again, staring at the twin towers in the distance, scratching his head.

Although these two buildings look similar in appearance, their heights are completely different as can be seen at a glance.

Well, Moritani Teiji is already in prison, and this place was not designed by him, so they can’t bomb it here.

"Maybe if you two see them, these two buildings will be destroyed soon." What Xiao Ai was holding in her hand seemed to be a brochure of the twin towers in Nishitama City.

The brochure states that these are the tallest twin towers in Japan, with heights of 319 meters and 294 meters respectively.

Maybe it was unlucky, as it was seen by these two troublemakers not long after it was completed.

"I didn't choose this place..." Conan said speechlessly, resting his chin on his hand.

At most I can just look at it less...

"Nishitama City, twin-tower skyscrapers..." Lin Feng's expression was also a little strange.

What kind of crappy lottery machine is this that the doctor made?

……

The two cars drove to the campsite one after the other.

This place has been developed and is much better than the previous environment in the deep mountains and forests. It may be a little less exciting for the young detective team, but the adults feel much more comfortable.

There shouldn't be any treasure or murderer to be found here.

While Lin Feng was still setting up the tent, the doctor had already sat down by the river and started fishing.

"Don't worry, I will definitely catch a fish today!" the doctor said to the children.

"It's okay, Doctor." Mitsuhiko was very sensible and brought over an ice bucket. The fish and other things had already been bought in advance.

"Yuanta-kun, can you help me get the vegetables?" Mingmei was still in charge of cooking, and she was about to start making a fire and cooking.

"it is good!"

With so many people working together on a meal, it was still quite leisurely.

"Eel, eel, grilled eel~"

In the evening, Yuantai was sitting at the table and eating happily. There were curry rice and eel rice tonight!

"I'm full!" Mitsuhiko put down his bowl with satisfaction.

"Guangyan, you didn't finish your rice. My mother said that if you leave any rice grain behind, you will be punished by God!" Yuantai held the bowl and ate quickly. He turned around and saw the bottom of Guangyan's bowl.

"Yes!"

Lin Feng held the oversized rice bowl and nodded as he ate.

"Rice is made by farmers through eighty-eight laborious processes," the doctor said with a smile.

It is not okay to waste food.

"Eighty-eight?" A question mark appeared on Ayumi's face.

Is it really that complicated?

"If you break the character for rice apart, it becomes eighty-eight, right?" the doctor explained.

"Eighty-eight years old is called a rice birthday, seventy-seven years old is called a happy birthday, and ninety-nine years old is called a white birthday."

"Do you know why seventy-seven is called a happy birthday?"

Facing Dr. Agasa who is about to trigger a combo.

The dog-headed detective replied politely, "Because the cursive writing of the word '喜' looks like the vertical writing of 77."

"And the ninety-nine-year-old white life means one in a hundred." Xiao Ai continued.

If you take away the one above the hundred character, it will be white. "That's right!" Lin Feng was still eating...

"Eh?!"

"I've always felt that you two know a lot." Mitsuhiko showed a surprised expression on his face.

Even if I spend time every day learning extracurricular knowledge, watching the news and reading newspapers, I am still no match for these two people. They know so much about a wide range of knowledge.

"You two weren't lying about your ages, were you?"

"In fact, they are not elementary school students at all. Their true forms are monsters living in the mountains!" Yuan Tai asked, staring at the two men.

Conan: ...

You guessed the first half correctly...

"Once you guys fall asleep tonight, I will tear open the tent and eat you all one by one." Xiao Ai took a sip of tea and said in a very calm tone.

"Eh!"

The three little ones' expressions changed.

"Okay, now let's guess, what should we call a person on his 44th birthday?" The doctor clapped his hands to divert everyone's attention.

"Forty-four years old?" Several people frowned and thought about it.

"Hint: This is composed of a Chinese character and three Katakana. The character for longevity can be ignored." The doctor smiled happily when he got to this part.

"Forty-four, eighty-eight, please..." The dog-headed detective quickly figured it out and gave a speechless smile.

Still as usual, super boring.

Seeing that the children couldn't guess the answer, the doctor smiled and said, "The answer is revealed. Forty-four is exactly half of eighty-eight. Eighty-eight is rice. The English word for rice is RICE. Half of a rice is HAN RICH!"

Half life, half bowl of rice, how about that, pretty appropriate, right?

"..."

Who on earth would be called "half a bowl of rice" on his 44th birthday? Can that person really eat rice...

The three little ones lowered their heads and suddenly felt chilly. They didn’t know where the air conditioner was turned on.

"Are you guys okay?" Mingmei asked.

The atmosphere seems a bit cool.

"It doesn't matter. If you add three servings to a bowl of rice, it will turn into sunshine (SUN RICH)!"

"I'm just kidding!" The doctor sang in some unknown tune, and then added another bowl of rice in a very appropriate manner.

Lin Feng also reached out and handed the bowl over, wanting the other party to help add more rice.

"No problem, no problem. If it's three big bowls of rice, then that's a super-sized portion of sunshine!"

"Doctor, stop singing..."

……

A day and a night passed quickly.

The next morning, everyone drove back home.

Everyone agreed to go see the twin towers in Nishitama City. They set off just after breakfast. Yuantai even ate five bowls of rice by himself.

“It’s so high!”

“It seems like there’s no top in sight.”

"It feels like we are in the clouds." The three little ones ran to the side of the building as soon as they got out of the car, looking up and exclaiming.

"It's not officially open yet, right?" Lin Feng asked with his head down.

It seems, should, maybe, probably there won't be any problem.

Anyway, it's not open, so I'll just stand outside and see what trouble will happen. Maybe not today.

As they were talking, a taxi stopped in front of them and an "uninvited guest" got out.

"Well, this building is definitely going to be destroyed..."
