Dr. Ali didn't notice that Conan was distracted all the time, and said with a smile, "I brought a charcoal stove this time. It should be very convenient to light a fire. You should move faster. Once we set up the tent, we can start cooking.
Oh!"
Haibara Ai looked at the things on the ground, squatted down and opened a duffel bag, "I went to Sister Nanatsuki's last night and didn't go back to help. I'd better check if the stove was brought over by Dr. Agasa."
Dr. A Li: "..."
People who are forgetful dare not speak.
When Chi Feichi and Dr. A Li started to set up the tent, Haihara Ai checked everything first, stood up and said, "The stove is inside."
Dr. A Li breathed a sigh of relief.
Before Dr. A Li could laugh, Haihara Ai said expressionlessly, "But I searched twice and couldn't find charcoal, not even a piece of firewood."
Mitsuhiko raised his hand to his forehead, "So, the doctor still missed something, right?"
"In the car I drove, there were spare tents, moisture-proof mats, construction tools, and instant cans prepared just in case," Chi Feichi said while setting up the tent, "but there was no charcoal."
Ayumi looked at the woods in the distance, "You should be able to find firewood in the woods..."
"But by the time we get back from collecting firewood, it will be too late," Mitsuhiko sighed, "It's almost one o'clock in the afternoon now."
"Ah?" Yuantai's expression changed. He heard his stomach growl, and he touched his stomach with a distressed expression, "No wonder I'm so hungry."
"Then let's eat canned food first in the morning. Let's go to the parking lot..." Haiyuan Ai looked towards the exit and saw that two groups of people were coming out of the wooden house store holding a box of charcoal. They immediately gave up on eating canned food.
Thought, "The store over there seems to sell charcoal. Let's go check it out first. If there is charcoal, buy some charcoal and bring it back."
Who wants to eat instant canned food if they can have something good?
The three children readily agreed and added things to their shopping list.
“Let’s buy some snacks by the way!”
"And drinks..."
“I wonder if there are any special delicacies…”
"I said..." Haiyuan Ai looked at a big bag on the ground and reminded silently, "As for snacks, you have already brought a whole bag with you, but these may not be enough..."
"Thank you, Brother Chi!"
Next to them, Genta, Mitsuhiko, and Ayumi thanked each other sweetly, interrupting Haihara Ai's words.
Hui Yuan Ai looked up and found that her brother had already taken out his wallet to distribute shopping funds to the children.
As soon as the three children received the money, they ran happily to the store, not even caring if anyone in the small queue was missing.
Seeing Haiyuan Ai's cold face, Dr. A Li smiled dryly and searched for words of persuasion in his mind, "Xiao Ai, you see the weather is so nice today..."
"Forget it," Haiyuan Ai sighed silently, squatting down to pack the ingredients, "Just pamper them and let them buy the things. I will pack the ingredients as soon as possible..."
When he was about to take action, Haiyuan Ai found that Conan was still standing next to him. He looked up and saw Conan was distracted with a frown on his face. He looked at Dr. A Li and Chi Feichi who had walked around to the other side of the tent, then stood up and walked forward.
, turned his head left and right to look at his surroundings, and asked in a low voice, "What's wrong with you?"
What could make Edogawa so serious?
Are there any problems around here?
Conan continued to ponder.
Green heron...god...
He knew what the secret was that made the staff laugh, but he couldn't figure out how Chi Feichi came up with it.
If Chi Feichi hadn't mentioned the 'Green Heron Shrine', and if he didn't know that 'Green Heron' was the key word, he might not have figured it out so quickly...
"Hey," Haiyuan Ai stretched out his hand and waved it in front of Conan's eyes, "Edogawa..."
Conan came back to his senses and cast a questioning look at Haiyuan Ai.
"You were frowning and distracted just now, what happened?" Hui Yuan Ai asked speechlessly.
"It's that god's guidance..." Conan saw Chi Feichi fixing the tent and turning back from the other side of the tent. After thinking about it, he walked forward and asked aloud, "Brother Chi, do you know what the staff member said?
What’s the divine guidance for you, right?”
"Huh?" Dr. Ali looked at Chi Feichi in surprise.
Isn’t that a story to scare children?
Chi Feichi didn't react much and nodded calmly.
"Then how did you find out?" Conan asked seriously, "The village is 'Qinglu Village' and the camping ground is 'Qinglu Camping Ground'. That may be because this camping ground was developed collectively by the villagers.
To commemorate or convenience, it was named after the village. Even if it was developed by a certain person, it may have been named to save trouble. It does not mean that the shrine will also be called Aobi, but when you ask the staff, it is clearly
In order to confirm whether the shrine is called Aobi Shrine, how did you come up with the name of the shrine?"
That’s right, the children’s argument that ‘because the village is called Aobi and the campground is called Aobi, so the shrine will also be called Aobi’ doesn’t make sense at all.
What he couldn't figure out was how Chi Feichi could fixate on the keyword 'green heron'.
Chi Feichi didn't hide anything and looked at the shrine on the top of the mountain, "Because that shrine is on the top of the mountain."
"The shrine is on the top of the mountain..." Conan held his chin with his right hand and thought, then suddenly turned his head to look at the shrine with bright eyes and murmured, "So that's it..."
"Hey, hey," Dr. Ali felt that he didn't understand a word of what these two people were saying, so he interrupted speechlessly, "What the hell is going on here?"
Conan understood Chi Feichi's thoughts, and his mood instantly became happy. He smiled and asked, "Doctor, do you know why the shrine is built on the top of the mountain?"
Dr. Agasa was stunned for a moment and found that he knew this question. He followed the train of thought and answered, "Because in Japan, people in ancient times believed that after a person dies, the soul will float up to the mountain to confirm whether the person should go there."
Whether you should go to heaven or go to hell, the top of the mountain is also regarded as an important place to decide where the soul will go... Isn't that right?"
Conan nodded and added, "There are many shrines in various counties in Japan, but in the eyes of traditional people and practitioners, the shrine on the top of the mountain is very sacred."
Haihara Ai looked at the mountaintop shrine and looked at it carefully, "This shrine is also relatively grand. It doesn't feel like an ordinary shrine."
"Is Aobi Shrine a famous shrine?" Dr. Agasa tried hard to remember the name.
Otherwise, how could Fei Chi know the name of this shrine?
"No, I've never heard of it at all," Conan looked up at Chi Feichi and said with a smile, "Brother Chi is the same, right? I've never heard of this shrine before today."
Chi Feichi nodded.
The famous detective himself said that reasoning was enough, but he still insisted on dragging him into the water...
Haibara Ai continued to think and vaguely realized the problem, "In other words, a shrine that should have been very famous, at least in the eyes of practitioners, would be worth visiting, but there are no relevant reports, as if it never existed.
,Is it right?"
"It's indeed a bit strange to say so," Dr. Agasa couldn't help but look at the mountaintop shrine and wondered, "The camping ground brochure I saw before didn't mention that there is such a big shrine here.
If they advertise that there is such a big shrine here, many people will come here to visit, so why hide the existence of the shrine?"
Chi Fei belatedly saw that Conan seemed to be trying to sell it off, so he answered directly, "It's not intentionally concealing it, it's because the owner doesn't care if people come for sightseeing or whether he can make money from the shrine."
"Although the other party seems to be willing to let villagers and tourists visit, they probably don't want many people to come over." Conan quickly added.
Dr. Agasa nodded thoughtfully, and soon his eyes widened, "Wait, wait a minute! Are you saying that the shrine was not built by the villagers or passed down from the past, but has always been private?
?”
"That's right," Conan looked at the shrine and said sternly, "If it belongs to a village, then the villagers should agree to make the shrine public. Even if they don't deliberately publicize it, tourists who find it here will spread the news, and Qinglu Village
There are obviously restaurants and hot spring houses that are more inclined to serve tourists, but no one is promoting this shrine, which shows that there is some reason to prevent tourists from promoting it. For example, they know that this shrine is private property.
It’s not a tourist attraction, it would be great if they can visit it.”
Dr. Agasa was stunned, "But such a big shrine..."
Haibara Ai looked at the progress near the shrine, "If the top of the mountain belongs to that family, wouldn't it be surprising? Build a shrine on your own land. If you don't like to be disturbed, you can directly block the road up the mountain."
Dr. A Li: "..."
A hilltop...wait a minute, every hilltop belongs to that family. Isn't this even more surprising?
Conan smiled and said, "When I was looking at the village in the parking lot just now, I also found that about one-sixth of the village's area was occupied by one family, and other houses were scattered around. I was still thinking about this at the time.
The rich people in the village are too exaggerated, I think they must be the ones who bought the hilltop."
"It should be more than just the top of the mountain." Chi Feichi said.
Conan looked at Chi Feichi in surprise, "It's not just the top of the mountain..."
"The house of that family was built in a very traditional style. This kind of traditional building covers a large area and is distributed in an orderly but complicated manner. The last time I saw a similar building, it was the house of a certain aristocratic family in Kyoto. If
If they are from a certain Kyoto family, they can't just buy the top of the mountain and live in the village below." Chi Feichi moved his eyes from the top of the mountain to the foot of the mountain, "The whole mountain should belong to their family.
"
Dr. A Li: "!"
Even scarier!
Conan, Haihara Ai: "..."
Although I don’t know much about the aristocratic family, if I think about it carefully, I have already bought a hilltop to build a shrine, and my house in the village at the foot of the mountain occupies such a large area. I might as well add more money to buy both the hilltop and the village land. If there is no shortage
If you don’t have enough money, why not buy the entire mountain to facilitate management and development.
The key point is that those aristocratic families can really afford to buy a mountain, or they may have bought it many years ago, build their own shrine on the mountain to worship the gods they want, develop a village at the foot of the mountain, and build a big house for themselves to live in.
village.
Wait, speaking of development...
"And here," Chi Feichi's gaze moved from the foot of the mountain to the edge of the campsite. "Like the village, the mountain, and the shrine, it is named after the green heron. It is also probably their home."
Huihara Ai also followed and scanned the entire open campsite, "Maybe the mountains here belong to their family too..."
Dr. A Li: "..."
This is not his wealth, but it is so much that even an outsider like him would have his heart beating wildly.
