Conan: Rice Flower Spring

Chapter 140 134. Conan and Bourbon's First Meeting
The Maori Kogoro family, who were arguing with the hotel front desk, were startled by the screams of the obscene middle-aged man. When they turned around, they found that Kaneda was controlling a middle-aged man standing behind them.

The wretched middle-aged man who was screaming in pain was now trying to stand on tiptoe and stretch his arms in an attempt to make himself feel better.

"Mr. Kaneda?!" Ran Mouri exclaimed subconsciously, but she didn't know what had just happened.

Instead, Kogoro Mouri's expression became a little gloomy. He took a look at the distance between the wretched middle-aged man and his daughter and made some guesses.

"Mr. Maori, Ms. Maori, and Conan." Lin Longma and Popen came over to greet them: "See you again."

It was true that we met again. It had only been a few days since the last meeting, but we met again in another place.

This fate is really touching.

"President Lin, thank you very much." Kogoro Mouri couldn't say "long time no see" and could only express his gratitude to Kaneda for his help.

Fortunately, Hayashi Ryoma and the others are here, otherwise if that bastard had really succeeded, Mori Kogoro would probably have wanted to kill someone.

"It's okay, it's just a piece of cake." Lin Longma signaled Jintian to let go and put the wretched middle-aged man down.

The middle-aged man who was released from restraints was thinking about saying something, but Bai Shi happened to come to Lin Longma.

After looking at the other four burly old men including Lin Longma, and then looking at himself who was exhausted, the middle-aged man snorted coldly and left the front desk in dismay.

"Mr. Maori, are you in any trouble?" Lin Longma asked curiously.

"Ah, it's not a big deal." Kogoro Mouri hurriedly took out his wallet, pulled out a few bills and handed them to the front desk.

The reason why he showed up at the Princess Hotel was to participate in the Izu Mystery Tour, but he did not sign up for this activity.

Instead, it was the news that Conan brought back after visiting Dr. Agasa's house.

The person who was supposed to attend this event was Dr. Agasa, but because the granddaughter of another doctor who was traveling with Dr. Agasa had a fever, they were unable to attend the event.

Based on the principle of avoiding waste, Dr. Agasa suggested that Conan and Maori father and daughter participate in this event.

It just so happened that their configuration was also for two adults and one child, so there was no need to change the reservation at all.

What Kogoro Mouri learned from Conan was that the organizer of the event invited them to Izu Beach for free.

When Kogoro Mori arrived, he found out that they had to pay half of the accommodation fee first. How could he bear this?
It was said to be free, but now I have to pay for it. Isn’t this a lie?
After arguing with the hotel front desk for a long time, Maori Kogoro finally figured out that if he wanted to be treated for free, he had to find the organizer hidden among the participants. It was all Conan's fault for not conveying the message clearly.

However, Conan also has his own reasons. With him present, this kind of reasoning problem is a piece of cake. What's the difference between this and free?
In short, Conan is to blame for Kogoro Mouri's recent predicament.

Seeing Hayashi Ryoma asking, Maori Kogoro naturally wouldn't continue to make trouble. He is also a famous detective who needs to save face, right?
This was all thanks to Ryoma Hayashi who brought some big deals to the firm, otherwise the half-price accommodation alone would have been enough to make Kogoro Mouri heartbroken.

It’s not that we can’t afford the money, but when most of our income has been arranged, this sudden extra expense is really unpleasant.

"Uncle Lin, are you also here to participate in the Mysterious Tour of Izu?" Conan, who was standing at Kogoro Mouri's feet, asked suddenly.

The last time he went to Dr. Agasa's house was mainly to discuss with the doctor Kudo Shinichi's increasingly bad reputation.

But the two of them discussed for a long time without any result. Finally, Dr. Agasa said that since Kogoro Mori had contacted Yusaku Kudo, then they should just leave this difficult problem to his father.

Conan couldn't change back for a while anyway, so he might as well take this opportunity to relax. Then Dr. Agasa told him about the mysterious trip to Izu.

When Conan met Lin Ryoma at the hotel, he thought he was also interested in the Dark Night Baron virus, so he asked.

"Mysterious Journey to Izu? What is that?" When asked suddenly by Conan, Hayashi Ryoma's face was full of confusion, and there was nothing wrong with the confusion in his eyes.

"Eh? Isn't it?" Conan didn't expect that Hayashi Ryoma was not here to participate in the mysterious journey of Izu, but soon his attention was attracted by Bourbon beside Hayashi Ryoma.

Bourbon himself has a mixed-race appearance, with a wheat-colored skin and light blonde hair, and his appearance is completely different from that of the Japanese.

Kaneda and Shiraishi Conan, who were beside Lin Ryoma, had met each other many times before, so they were naturally curious when they suddenly saw a "stranger" like Bourbon.

"Uncle Lin, who is this uncle?"

“My name is Toru Amuro, and I am here to entertain Chairman Lin because he helped me before.

Little friend, please take care of me as it is our first meeting."

Bourbon smiled brightly, squatted down and introduced himself to Conan.

"My name is Edogawa Conan, thank you for your kindness, it's our first meeting!" Conan responded to Bourbon in a cute way.

To be honest, this scene was quite difficult for Hayashi Ryoma. After such a long time, Hayashi Ryoma finally realized Conan's obsession with the organization.

But it's hard to say whether this kid's luck is good or bad. Apart from himself, a member of the organization who knows his identity, Conan has also seen senior executives such as Vermouth and Bourbon.

But this kid never doubted any of them.

Even now, after figuring out Hayashi Ryoma's identity and purpose, Conan has nothing to be curious about. This is due to the high trust that Hayashi Ryoma has in Conan's heart, as well as the island name of Amuro Toru.

Isn't he just a mixed-race kid? There's nothing strange about that. There's another person in Osaka who's not a mixed-race kid but is darker. It's completely normal.

Conan's curiosity was over now, it was Lin Longma's turn. He just heard the words "Izu Mysterious Journey" from Conan.

In other words, the Maori family actually came to participate in this event?

Yosi, now we have the candidates who can infiltrate the event!
Thinking of this, Lin Longma asked Conan: "Conan, what is the mysterious journey to Izu that you just mentioned?"

Conan was also very knowledgeable and introduced the mysterious journey of Izu and the people who came to participate in the mysterious journey to Lin Ryoma on the spot.

The participants included the president of a software company, an investor of a computer company, an assistant at an electronic engineering institute, a high school math teacher, and a bank clerk.
The purpose of these people coming here is very similar, which is to get the Dark Night Baron virus mentioned by the organizer.

On the contrary, the purpose of the Maori family coming here seems very simple - they just want to have a free beach trip.

After introducing the participants, Conan asked very considerately: "Uncle Lin, do you know what the Dark Night Baron virus is?"
