I travel through countless worlds at the same time

"Look—so many cute foxes."

"Indeed, I think it's enough to buy souvenirs for everyone here."

Higashino Yuu couldn't help but smile as he looked at the surrounding scenery and the cheering Xiaolan, and then his eyes fell on Conan, who had been silent for a while.

"I'm telling you, can you please stop being so lifeless? A primary school student should act like a primary school student, Simalu Simalu."

"No, what's fun here? I think it's better to go back and look at the case." Conan said with a sneer as he looked at the scenery around him.

In response to this, Higashino Yu could only shake his head helplessly.

"You know, it will be hard for you to find a girlfriend in the future. Don't think you can do whatever you want just because you're handsome."

As he spoke, he took out his camera, pointed it at Xiaolan, and clicked the shutter.

"Perfect, a beautiful girl enjoying her trip to Kyoto. The first one!"

"You're so annoying, You're just talking nonsense. I'm not even a pretty girl."

Being flattered by Higashino Yu, 610 Xiaolan's face turned red. Although she said that, she smiled and narrowed her eyes. It was obvious that she enjoyed it very much.

"Protests are invalid. If I say you are a beautiful girl, then you are a beautiful girl. If you don't believe me, ask Conan if Xiaolan is a beautiful girl."

As he spoke, Higashino Yuu did not forget to continue taking pictures.

"Yes, Sister Xiaolan is the most beautiful."

Conan raised his hand and said loudly without thinking. Not to mention the complicated relationship between himself and Xiaolan, just Xiaolan's fighting ability made him dare not deny Xiaolan's beauty.

"Humph! As expected, mom is right. Men's mouths are deceiving. Even Conan has learned bad things from you, You. I will ignore you guys."

As he spoke, he walked briskly into the outermost torii gate, and immediately saw the tall gate. On both sides were stone statues of foxes like stone lions.

"This is an exorcist statue. I wonder if worshiping it can drive away the bad luck on us."

Higashino Yuu looked at the pair of foxes acting as stone lions and spoke.

"Haha, you think too much. There are no such things as ghosts or gods in this world. Just like all impossible crimes, flaws will be found to make them possible."

Conan rolled his eyes and said helplessly.

"No, that just means you haven't seen it yet. If you see it one day, you won't say that anymore."

Higashino Yu stroked the stone statue and shook his head in denial. Having seen souls many times before, he naturally knew the nature of this world better than Conan.

The three of them took photos while walking forward, and they came to the main hall. Going further, they could see the stairs leading to Mt. Inari.

“Oh—this is what they call a stunning view.”

"That's right, it's absolutely beautiful!"

"Then take a picture. By the way, I heard that this mountain is used as a running route by students from local schools. But it seems that no one is running today."

"Ah? But how can we take a photo with only three of us?"

When the three of them reached the top of the mountain and were impressed by the scenery before them, Mao Lilan also asked curiously.

"This is easy. I just need to ask everyone for help."

As Higashino Yuu spoke, he looked around and quickly selected a person who was also holding a camera. Then he quickly ran over to negotiate with the other person.

“It feels like a family of three…”

Looking at Yuu Higashino who was asking tourists for help in taking photos, this thought suddenly came to Mao Li Ran's mind.

................................................

On the second day, we went to Kiyomizu Temple, Ginkakuji Temple and Kinkakuji Temple. In short, we basically visited all the famous attractions in Kyoto.

Then, they set off for Tokyo in a mighty procession, carrying the souvenirs they had prepared for everyone.

"Um, please tell me, are you Mr. Maori Kogoro?"

On the train, just as four people were leaning back in their chairs to rest, a little girl with pigtails suddenly stood in front of Kogoro Mouri.

Looking at the girl, Kogoro Maori was stunned at first, then he immediately changed into a kind look and touched the little girl's head.

"That's right, I am the popular and evil-killer Maori Kogoro. Little sister, can't you find your mother?"

"No need for that, my mother is over there. Um... could you please sign an autograph for me?"

Everyone first looked at the little girl's mother who was waving and greeting several people, and then noticed that the little girl was holding a pen and a notebook in her hands.

"You mean you want my autograph?" Looking at the little girl, Kogoro Mouri pointed at himself and seemed a little unbelievable.

"Yeah." The little girl nodded vigorously.

"Hahaha, has my name become known to everyone?" Seeing the little girl's expression, Maori Kogoro couldn't help but laugh. At the same time, he took the notebook from the little girl and signed his name in a flamboyant manner.

"Thank you. I want to be someone like you when I grow up."

The little girl bowed as she spoke, then ran away quickly holding the notebook as if it were some treasure.

"Dad, are you really that famous?"

Mao Lilan couldn't help but frown as she looked at the girl's back.

Don't you know what your father looks like?

Maybe he was a little famous in Beika-cho before, but it was definitely not to the extent that he is now, where he can meet fans on the train, not to mention that this fan even came to ask for his autograph!

This is unprecedented.

"Hahaha... Doesn't this just prove how well-known I am? One day my fame will reach the ears of those big shots, and then they will all come to me to solve their cases."

When he thought that everyone who came to him in the future would have a check for tens of millions, Kogoro Mori subconsciously drooled.

"How is this possible?" After hearing what Kogoro Mouri said, Ran Mouri couldn't help but complain.

"No, Lan, the situation that Uncle Maori described is not impossible." Higashino You glanced at the girl in the distance who was still happily communicating with her mother, and couldn't help but push up the non-existent glasses on his nose.

"You, you actually believed what my father said?"

114. Tokyo Heroes

Ran Mao Li looked at Higashino Yu as if she was looking at a fool.

No, even a fool would not believe what his father just said.

"But that's the fact, Lan. I guess you haven't been paying attention to the news in Tokyo recently."

As Higashino Yuu spoke, he took out a newspaper from his backpack that he bought in Kyoto to pass the time on the road.

Then I flipped through it casually and soon found some valuable news.

"Mobs attack the Shinkansen. A former police officer, now a famous detective, bravely attacks!"

Looking at the news headlines that were placed on a special board and were especially bold, Higashino Yu smiled.

Not only are there interviews with Inspector Megure and other old colleagues of Kogoro Mouri's, but there are also photos of Kogoro Mouri when he was a police officer when he was young.

I have to say that Kogoro Mori was really handsome when he was young. No wonder he could pursue a beauty like Eri Kisaki.

"This! This is clearly..."

Seeing the news describing Kogoro Mori as a hero who was both wise and brave, as well as cautious and careful, Mori Ran couldn't help but hold her breath.

Because as one of the participants, she knew that the news was all fabricated. The situation on that day was not much different from what was written in the news. There was absolutely no connection between them.

"Dongye boy, this..."

Kogoro Mori's face looked grim as he read the content in the news. A few days ago, he thought that this matter would only increase his fame, but now all the newspapers in Kyoto are reporting on this matter, which proves that this has become a national news.

But he also did not forget that he did not do anything in this matter at all. If he really helped in any way, it was because he did not cause any trouble?

Now he could already imagine what would happen when everyone found out that he was not as brave as he appeared in the newspapers, and then they would criticize him, and his detective agency would be closed and he would have to beg for food on the street.

"Higashino boy, if one day I'm gone, I'll trouble you to take care of Xiaolan." Looking at Higashino Yuu, Maori Kogoro looked as if he was making arrangements for his final arrangements.

"Dad, what nonsense are you talking about! How could such a thing happen!"

Xiaolan's face changed and she said anxiously.

"Uncle Maori, don't worry, I'll make a phone call first."

What Kogoro Mouri can think of, Higashino Yu can naturally think of as well. After all, there are many cases in which idols have failed because of their character settings in their previous lives.

After calming down Kogoro Mouri, Higashino Yu took out his cell phone, made a call and then went to the bathroom.

Soon a familiar and beautiful voice came from the other end of the phone.

"Hello? Is this Mr. Higashino?"

"Yes, it's me, Miss Yoko. How have you been lately..."

That’s right, the number that Higashino Yu called was that of Okino Yoko. As a popular idol, she must know a lot about how to deal with negative news, so it might not be right to contact her at this time, but it would definitely not be wrong.

Soon, Higashino Yu came back.

"You, what did your friend say just now?"

Looking at the pale-faced Kogoro Mouri, Ran Mouri saw Higashino Yu and grabbed his hand as if she had seen a savior.

"Well, she said to wait and see what happens, and she also said that the fact that this incident was reported in this way is likely because the government is behind it."

Higashino Yu looked at Kogoro Mori and pondered for two seconds.

"government?"

Sure enough, when he heard the news, Kogoro Mouri's eyes lit up.

No matter which country it is, no matter how controlled by capital, people still feel safe after hearing about the government.

"Ah, she said that without the government's permission, people like Inspector Megure would not normally participate in interviews, so she said that Uncle Maori should ask Inspector Megure about the specific situation after he returns."

"Government, then I think I understand..."

Hearing this, Kogoro Maori immediately recovered from his graying and subconsciously sat up straight.

He was just wondering, if there was a huge explosion on the Shinkansen, then there would be no problem with national reporting, but this was just an ordinary accident that prevented a mob attack in advance, so it should not have caused such a horrific impact.

After all, if someone can even bring explosives onto the train, then the safety of the Shinkansen is too poor. It will make people doubt the safety of the railway and thus affect the railway's revenue.

Normally the government wouldn't be able to suppress such things in time, so why would they report it so widely?

But if the government is behind this, then everything becomes clear.

In the current situation, the government must want to divert everyone's attention because of something else, so they specifically promote him as a hero.

If he has the government's backing, he, as a national hero, will still be very powerful in the future.

What's more, this is not the future when almost everyone's mobile phone will have short video software installed. Now only a few people can afford mobile phones. Plus, there were not many people in the entire dining car at that time, so this time Kogoro Mouri was safe.

"Oh, if I had known this would happen I should have bought a special carriage."

Looking around, Kogoro Mouri couldn't help but slap his thighs.

Then he asked curiously, "Do you think everyone will line up to welcome me later?"

"This shouldn't happen..."

When Mao Lilan thought about a large group of people waiting at the train station to pick up her father like a celebrity, she suddenly felt her scalp tingling.

"No, maybe everyone will not only come to pick up the car, but may even line up to welcome you and give you flowers, Uncle Maori."

...... . 0

As Higashino Yuu spoke, he couldn't help laughing.

"Yes, yes, how come I am now a national hero? I wonder if people will give me some discounts if I use this identity to bet on horses. If I use this identity to invite Miss Yoko to dinner, it should be no problem."

Looking at Kogoro Mouri, who looked like he was about to die just now but now started to have wild thoughts, not only Higashino Yu, but even Ran Mouri and Conan were all confused.

However, it turned out that Kogoro Mouri was indeed overthinking it. When the four of them were standing on the platform, not to mention sending flowers, there was no one even coming to pick up the car.

Come to think of it, there are so many people on a train, and there are so many tourists coming and going, how could there be anyone who would come to pick up the train like they would an airport?

"Then Uncle Maori, let's separate here. Conan and I will go back first."

As they walked out of the station, Higashino Yu said to Maori Kogoro.

"Well, go back and be careful on the road."

"You, be careful on the road."
