Conan: Rice Flower Spring

Chapter 139 133. Take office, Izu!
On the day the "Mysterious Journey to Izu" begins, Hayashi Ryoma and Bourbon arrive at the Princess Hotel on Izu Beach in Izu City, Shizuoka Prefecture.

Although the two chose to stay at the Princess Hotel, it was only because the organizer of the Izu Mystery Tour designated it as a "reception hotel." All visitors who come to participate in the "Izu Mystery Tour" can stay at half price.

If you successfully find the organizer hidden among the participants, your accommodation fees will be waived in full.

How to say it, Lin Longma increasingly felt that the organizer was just trying to get half of the accommodation money from other participants.

Could it be that this organizer is hired by the Princess Hotel?
Fortunately, Lin Longma and his team’s original target was not the so-called organizer, but the "buyer" who might be hidden among other participants.

Lin Longma and Bourbon did not sign up for this mysterious trip to Izu. They came here just to investigate the buyers and just stayed in the same hotel with them.

There was no need to put themselves in the middle of it, and this way the two of them could keep an unobtrusive eye on these "tourists" who came to participate in the mysterious tour of Izu.

"We're here. This hotel looks surprisingly nice, doesn't it?"

The Maybach slowly stopped in front of the main entrance of the Princess Hotel. Jin Tianxian, who was sitting in the passenger seat, followed the hotel's doorman to the back and opened the door for Lin Longma.

Lin Longma looked up at the more than 30-story hotel and sighed.

Instead of taking the Shinkansen or other means of transportation, they chose to drive to Shizuoka Prefecture.

Although the doorman did not open the door for Lin Longma, he came to the other side and helped Bourbon open the door.

Shiraishi drove to the parking lot and parked the car. Lin Longma and the other two went to the hotel front desk to check in.

"Brother, look at the front desk."

After hearing Jintian's reminder, Lin Longma looked towards the front desk and found several familiar figures.

The configuration of two men and one woman, a combination of three generations of "old, middle-aged and young". Isn't this the Maori family and his son-in-law?
What the hell, why is this family haunting us?
When seeing the Maori family, Lin Ryoma deliberately looked at Conan a few more times. This kid really has an extraordinary heart.

Even in this situation, you still have the energy to go out and travel?
What kind of big titanium alloy heart is this?

Just when Hayashi Ryoma was lamenting Conan's generosity, he suddenly noticed a drunk and wretched-looking middle-aged man standing near the Mouri family slowly moving towards Mouri Ran.

Judging from this man's actions and expressions, it is hard to tell how much goodwill his subsequent behavior will have.

"Kanada."

"yes, Sir."

Kaneda instantly understood what Hayashi Ryoma meant, and then walked quietly but quickly towards the Maori family.

"Are they people you know?" Bourbon asked curiously.

"The famous detective Maori Kogoro and his daughter, and the elementary school students who are staying at their house."

Lin Longma briefly stated their identities, then frowned subconsciously.

"What's wrong? Is there something wrong with them?" Seeing Lin Longma's actions, Bourbon subconsciously glanced at the family.

We have heard of Kogoro Mori's "name" Bourbon a lot, and famous detectives and cases are the best topics for people in Tokyo to get closer to each other.

Most people can talk about detectives and murders, so Bourbon naturally pays attention to the more popular murders and detectives.

Could it be that this new detective, Kogoro Mouri, is the "preliminary member" that Hayashi Ryoma wants to recruit into the Isshinkai?
Bourbon's eyes were a little complicated at the moment. Was the former dragon slayer going to turn into a dragon now?

Lin Longma did not notice Bourbon's complicated emotions, but just kept frowning:
"This family is very weird." "Weird?" Bourbon asked with a big question mark on his forehead. He never expected Lin Longma to answer him like this.

What is the word "evil"?
"They often come across various murders."

"Isn't it normal for a detective, especially a famous detective, to encounter a murder case?" Bourbon didn't quite understand.

In fact, Bourbon is also a detective. His reasoning and evidence-collecting skills are top-notch, but because he lacks "luck", the luck that is exclusive to detectives, he has not been able to delve deeply into this industry.

The key to becoming a famous detective in Tokyo is to have the luck to automatically find murders.

Otherwise, no matter how strong your reasoning ability is, if you never encounter a murder case in your life, how can you call yourself a famous detective if you are not famous?

This is the luck that Bourbon lacks. He can't create murders and adopt a self-production and self-sales model just because he wants to become a famous detective, right?
Bourbon thought it was normal for Kogoro Mouri, a famous detective, to occasionally come across one or two murder cases, and nothing to be surprised about.

"That's the problem. It's not surprising that a famous detective occasionally encounters a murder case. But what if this frequency is a regular occurrence?
As long as the three members of this family travel together, there is a high probability that a murder will occur where they are.

Since I knew them, their family has spent most of their time either at the murder scene or on the way to the murder scene.

No exceptions. ”

"Isn't this weird enough?"

"Ah?" Bourbon was really surprised by Lin Longma's words.

When he heard this, he thought that the Mori family and Mori Kogoro were really weird!
Although news about Kogoro Mori solving cases often appears in newspapers, newspapers do not publish news about Kogoro Mori every day.

They knew very well that if Kogoro Mori was in the newspaper every day, the news would be worthless.

So they selectively published news about Kogoro Mori, which resulted in many of Kogoro Mori's cases not being reported.

Now, after hearing what Hayashi Ryoma said, the knowledgeable Bourbon became more aware of the evil of Mori Kogoro.

"Do you think he could be..." Bourbon was obviously aware of the possibility that Kogoro Mori was producing and selling his own products, but this was immediately denied by Ryoma Hayashi.

"No, this was the first time that Maori Kogoro met the murderers and the victims.

This person is simply evil.”

"That's really weird." Bourbon let out a long sigh, then nodded in agreement.

It is true that the world is full of wonders. Bourbon has broadened his horizons today.

While Hayashi Ryoma and Bourbon were talking, the wretched middle-aged man also completed his "displacement" and came behind Maori Ran.

He rubbed his hands, smiled obscenely, and then slapped Mao Lilan's buttocks heavily with his big hand.

The expected sound did not come, instead the wretched middle-aged man cried out in pain loudly.

“Oh, oh, oh! It hurts, it hurts, my bones are going to break! Help, help!!”
