Daily Spy Life in the Detective Conan World

Chapter 124 Are there any monsters in the temple at night?

In this season of birdsong and fragrant flowers, where grass grows and orioles fly, people and nature become one, and the whole world is filled with an atmosphere of harmony and tranquility.

All five of them were enjoying the wonderful moment, except for Kogoro Mouri, who was fiddling with something.

He brought a lot of things with him when he came to Shanni Mountain to see the cherry blossoms.

A picnic blanket was spread out, and Kogoro Mori carefully arranged it.

Soon, the various dishes and bottles of beer were neatly arranged, and everything was ready!
Kogoro Mouri had somehow gotten a headscarf on his forehead, with two large characters written on it: "Enjoy!"
Once everything was ready, he quickly sat down, ready to enjoy the delightful combination of cherry blossoms and wine!
Xiaolan appeared to be admiring the beautiful scenery, but in reality, she would glance at her father with worry from time to time.

"Dad, you still have to drive tonight. If you drink, the traffic police will arrest you and make you pick up soap."

Kogoro Mouri didn't seem to care at all: "Don't worry, I know what I'm doing, I won't drink too much!"

After saying that, he chugged down a bottle of beer and tossed the can aside.

The detective, his face slightly flushed, continued, "Besides, even if I can't drive, don't we still have Miss Joel?"

To be honest, this was the real reason he invited Xia Chuan and the other two to Shanni Mountain to admire the cherry blossoms.

With two drivers, even if you get drunk on the way back, you won't be stranded because you don't have a driver.

Xiao Lan was speechless and choked with emotion. She sighed and apologized to Xia Chuan, "I'm sorry, Brother Xia Chuan, Dad is always like this."

“It’s alright, driving is no problem for Joel.” Xia Chuan turned to look at Joel: “Right, Joel?”

"Yes, Mr. Mori, if you want a drink, please do. I can drive you back."

Although she doesn't own a car, the Metropolitan Police Department provides driving training, and given that her identity as the Thorn Princess sometimes requires her to drive, her driving skills are quite good.

As long as the road is straight enough, she dares to floor the gas pedal.

"Father, Aunt Joel! Come and see! There's a temple here, how amazing!"

Anya stood by the railing, peeking out like Conan, unaware that her hair was getting wet from the mist.

Xia Chuan stepped forward and peered down, and sure enough, there was a temple built against the mountain.

Located in a recessed area of ​​the cliff, its extended eaves perfectly capture the feel of a traditional Chinese temple.

Some of the stream water is blown sideways by the wind and splashes onto the roof, creating a thick mist that looks spectacular.

As the group watched, a melodious bell suddenly rang out from the temple below the cliff.

The combination of the bell and the waterfall creates a unique atmosphere reminiscent of ancient temples and Buddhist monasteries deep in the mountains.

"What a beautiful temple! Judging from its style, it must be at least a hundred years old," Joel remarked with some emotion. This style of architecture is quite rare in Tokyo.

In particular, it was built on a cliff.

The mist added a touch of mystery to the temple, making it appear as if it were suspended in the air when viewed from a distance.

Xia Chuan suddenly frowned and fell into deep thought.

Mountain mud, cherry blossoms, Conan's travels, temples.

Well.
What can't be escaped will eventually be escaped; it seems my hopes for the Anya Hot Spring trip have been dashed.

After pondering for a long time, Xia Chuan still didn't tell Anya about it. He wanted to leave the child some room for imagination, and at the very least, he couldn't say something that would ruin the atmosphere at this time.

Mind Receiver Anya: !!!∑(Дノ)ノ

Am I going to skip the hot springs tomorrow?

Zun Du is fake!
A moment later, Anya's face turned extremely ugly, and she turned to look at Conan with dead fish eyes: "It's all your fault!"

Conan:
"What did I do now? It's me again for no reason. This isn't the first time. What are you trying to say?!"

Conan was baffled. This wasn't the first time Anya had done this, and each time he was completely clueless.

Anya clearly had no intention of explaining, and forcefully turned her head, flicking the end of her hair at Conan's face.

"."

This guy did it on purpose, he just wanted to make fun of himself.

Forget it, I'm not going to argue with a kid. I'm a seventeen-year-old high school student now, and Anya is pretty nice most of the time. For example, she lent me Bond as a means of transportation, which saved me from the embarrassing situation of being blocked at the door by female fans of Kid after school.

Thinking about it this way made him feel much better. Oh well, he'd forgive her little bit of naughtiness.

"I wonder if this temple offers overnight stays. I really wish I could stay one night in this idyllic temple," Joel said, looking at Xia Chuan with a clear meaning.

"Uh"

There's no time to even hide; experiencing a murder would definitely ruin your trip!
Xia Chuan hesitated, unable to refuse Joel's pitiful gaze.

You can't just refuse your girlfriend's request.

otherwise
Don't you love me anymore?

They've already entered a cold phase right after getting together? Ha!
Did the love fade away so quickly?

To be honest, we're not a good match.

The above is purely Xia Chuan's wild speculation; I doubt that the gentle and virtuous Joel would say such a thing.

But better safe than sorry. Let's go for it. We'll just have to be careful and make sure things go wrong so that Conan can solve the case as soon as possible.

Conan, unaware that he had been arranged to be, had already moved on from Anya's little incident and was trying to relax.

It's quite a brain drain and a real headache to secretly solve cases while hiding behind Uncle Mori.

Even a famous detective like him gets tired, so he needs to rest properly at this time to relieve the pressure on his overworked CPU.

The group had lunch on the spot at Shanni Mountain. Since it was on a mountain, there were no restaurants or similar places, so they could only eat some simple dishes brought by Uncle Maoli.

The group spent a long time admiring the scenery in the afternoon, and it wasn't until nearly four o'clock that they packed up and prepared to leave.

"Uncle Mori, we just discovered a beautiful temple at the bottom of the cliff. Would you like to go check it out and experience the feeling of being surrounded by a waterfall?"

Xia Chuan glanced at Uncle Mori and sighed helplessly, then turned his gaze to Xiao Lan.

Uncle Mori has already 'fallen in battle,' and Ran is now in charge of the Mori family.

"Of course, no problem. I saw it too; it is indeed a very ancient and charming mountain temple, however..."

Xiaolan suddenly hesitated, her expression shifting as if she had thought of something terrifying:

"Brother Xia Chuan, Sister Yue Er, are there any monsters in the temple at night?" Xiao Lan was very hesitant because of the plot of the old corpse in the mountain village that often appeared on TV.

"How could that be!" Joel replied seriously, "Legends of demons and monsters are all made up by people in ancient times. How could such things exist in the real world? Besides, that's a temple. Even if there were ghosts or monsters, they wouldn't dare to approach a temple."

Xiao Lan nodded, feeling that Miss Joel's words made a lot of sense.

Xia Chuan stood to the side with an indescribably strange expression.

I don't know what Aoyama was thinking about Xiaolan's weakness of being afraid of ghosts.

Such a top-tier combatant, yet he has such a weakness.

Look at Makoto Kyogoku, he has absolutely no weaknesses.

Wait, that's not right.

Sonoko Suzuki may be Makoto Kyogoku's weakness.

Uh... now that you mention it, it seems like all the high-end combatants in Aoyama's works have some strange weaknesses.

For example, Koizumi Akako, the heir to the Red Magic, could never capture Kid's heart.

For example, Kid is afraid of fish, Conan's desire to show off almost exposes him multiple times, and Iron Sword's weakness is his short stature.

"It's alright, Xiao Lan. Joel and Anya will be with you. Even if there are ghosts, they'll stay away when they see a lot of people!" Xia Chuan said with certainty.

Regardless of whether there are ghosts or monsters, even if there are, Joel's combat strength should be fine, right?
Speaking of which, the temple below doesn't actually have any ghosts or monsters; it seems there's only a legend about the Tengu, and even that's a man-made legend.

Xiao Lan was relieved to hear that Joel and Anya were sleeping with her.
