Hui Yuan Ai followed Ye Gengyi carrying a plastic bucket, looking listless.

Coast.

Three little heads were sitting in front of a sandcastle, cheering happily:

"Yeah! It's finally done!"

"Wow, what a majestic castle!"

Dr. A Li smiled and praised:

"If it were older, I would want to move in."

"Yeah!"

Yuantai is very happy:

"When we grow up, how about building a real castle for the doctor?"

"The castle..."

Here, Mitsuhiko has already begun to imagine that he is the king, and Ayumi and Haibara are his princesses.

"I said..."

Conan glanced at the plastic buckets on the ground that were originally used to hold clams, but were now filled with sand, and said helplessly:

"Have you forgotten that we are here to dig clams?"

"But we can't dig clams," Ayumi said.

"That's right, no matter how much you dig, there will only be sand under the sand." Genta sighed.

"To be honest, I'm tired of digging." Mitsuhiko's fantasy was shattered, and he looked at a certain love rival and competitor depressedly.

"You guys, digging clams requires skills. Of course you won't be able to find them by digging randomly..."

Conan was about to teach when he suddenly saw Ye Gengyi and Haiyuan Ai with a slumped expression walking towards them, and his heart moved slightly.

Is it possible that Brother Gengyi and the two of them didn't gain much?

Hehe, I never expected that there are things that Brother Geng is not good at...

Conan paused, deliberately waited until the two of them got closer, and then raised his voice and said:

"Listen up, when a clam extends its suction pipe, it will form a small hole called a 'clam eye'. In addition, clams usually live in groups, so..."

As he spoke, he looked around for a while, then walked to a beach and squatted down:

"Just find a place with many small holes in the sand, use a rake to dig down to a depth of 10 to 15 centimeters, be careful not to use too much force, and you can see that you can dig clams... Huh? Where are the people..."

"Uh... they went to Gengyi and Xiao Ai..."

Dr. Ali, the only one who stayed in place to cheer, pointed in the direction behind him.

Hey, Brother Gengyi? Why!

Conan quickly followed the pointing.

He saw three little heads surrounding the two plastic buckets at the feet of Ye Gengyi and Haiyuan Ai and sighed:

"Wow! So many clams!"

"Really, the two buckets are full. These should weigh about ten kilograms!"

"That's great, you are worthy of being Gengyi brother!"

What! Two barrels, ten kilograms? That’s a lie...

Conan hurriedly ran over to watch, and then froze in place, his assumption that Brother Yi couldn't dig clams was shattered:

"It's actually true..."

"How was your harvest?" Ye Gengyi asked.

"The process of digging clams is not very smooth..." Mitsuhiko said with a look of shame.

"But we built a big sandcastle!" Bumi said.

"Don't worry too much about gains and losses..."

Ye Geng comforted Mitsuhiko with the first half of his words, then turned to Bumi and said:

"Just have fun."

"Yeah!" The two of them nodded in unison.

The last thing I want to hear is you saying such things... Haiyuan Ai squinted.

"Conan seems to have dug more than 20 clams, and he was just teaching us how to dig them." Genta added from the side.

"Well, his method is right. As long as you do more and talk less, you can dig out more." Ye Gengyi looked at a certain detective.

Conan: "..."

Hey, hey, why are you suddenly so strict with me?

Ye Gengyi ignored him and continued:

"Clean the sand in your plastic bucket and take the clams from Xiao Ai and I. At this time... take a break and it's almost time to have lunch."

"Wait a little longer, brother Gengyi!"

Ayumi said coquettishly:

"It's only half an hour until 12 o'clock. We can definitely dig as many clams as you!"

"Including Dr. Agasa, maybe we can bring 7 barrels with us when we leave!" Mitsuhiko was full of confidence.

“If I had known better, I would have brought a bigger rake!”

Yuantai looked in the direction of the entrance:

"I don't know if they are sold in the stores over there..."

"You can't do this."

Dr. Ali reminded:

"The size of the rake used to dig clams must be within 15 centimeters, and one person can only dig 2 kilograms at a time."

"Even though you said so..."

Yuantai asked with his half-moon eyes:

"Does everyone really abide by this rule?"

"The most important thing is that everyone must have the will to abide by the regulations."

Dr. Ali said:

"Genta, you don't want the eel population to be reduced due to over-predation, so you won't be able to eat eel rice anymore, right?"

"Uh...yes." Yuantai said that he was convinced.

"As Gengyi said just now, just have fun..."

Dr. Ali pointed to the figures squatting on the beach digging clams:

“Enjoying the process of finding clams is part of the experience.”

It's a pity that the person who said "just have fun" is a guy who digs out two buckets at a time. Not only did he not experience the fun of rushing to the sea, but he also unknowingly dragged himself into the ocean of scientific research...

Hui Yuan Ai had a depressed face and continued to squint at a certain professor named Ye.

What happened to these two people...

Conan's head was full of questions, and he was about to quietly call Haiyuan aside to ask, when he suddenly heard the exclamations of three children from the other side:

"Wow, big brother, you dug a lot of clams too."

"But why are you sighing?"

"We are a young detective team. If you encounter any trouble, just tell us!"

It's you guys who are going to cause trouble...

Conan ignored the whispers and hurriedly came over there with Ye Gengyi and Dr. A Li and asked:

"What's wrong?"

"We saw this big brother being unhappy here alone. We thought he couldn't dig clams, so we planned to teach him the method you just mentioned, Conan."

Mitsuhiko explained: "In the end, he obviously dug up a lot..."

"Sorry for making you worry."

The man took the index finger of his right hand out of his mouth,

"I did it because of other things..."

Is it blood? Did you accidentally get scratched by something?

Conan noticed the details.
