Dr. Ali, Conan and Haibara Ai were surprised when they heard the surname "Tachibana", and then quickly felt relieved.
Is he really from a noble family in Kyoto...
"The young master Mr. Kuroki is talking about is Xiaoshu's brother, right?" Conan's childish voice sounded adorable.
"That's right." Kuroki Yasuji responded gently.
Mitsuhiko looked forward to it, "Then..."
"Then why didn't you stay at Tachibana's house?" Conan grabbed the conversation and looked around, "Is Xiaoshu's brother also nearby?"
Chi Feichi gave Conan a "pretentious" comment in his heart and waited for Kuroki Yasuji's answer.
The reason why he was not sure whether Fei Mo came, whether Fei Mo asked Kuroki Yasuji to deceive him, and whether there was any hidden secret behind it, was because there were some doubts about Kuroki Yasuji.
The sides of Kuroki Yasuji's leather shoes were stained with damp mud, and his trouser legs and hem had some scratch marks from branches and leaves. This was definitely not what he should look like when he followed his young master to visit an old man from a wealthy family.
Moreover, the roads in Qinglu Village are wide and smooth, and are swept clean. In addition, it has been sunny for the past two days, so there should be no wet soil on the ground.
The only places with moist soil are farmland and mountains outside the village. Judging from the traces on Kuroki Yasushi's clothes, Kuroki Yasushi should have been to the mountains and forests before and walked for a long distance in the mountains and forests, leaving traces on his clothes.
There are so many scratch marks on the branches and leaves.
The soil on the sides of the shoes had not dried yet, indicating that Kuroki Yasushi had just left the forest not long ago, but when they saw Kuroki Yasushi, Kuroki Yasushi was walking out of the village again.
He had stood in the parking lot of the camping ground and looked at the village before. Tachibana's house was to the west of the village, the village entrance was to the south, and Kuroki Yasuji came from the north to the south of the village...
In other words, Kuroki Yasuji followed his young master to visit his old friend. Instead of staying in his house, he ran into the woods. He just came back from the woods, and then wandered around the village without leaving the village.
, and you don’t go to the guest’s home, what the hell are you doing?
If Kuroki Yasuji is here for vacation, then it doesn't matter where Kuroki Yasuji goes for a walk, but while Kuroki Yasuji is still working, he should not leave his young master for a long time.
Kuroki Yasuji ran into the woods and wandered around the village for a while, as if he was looking for something that would make Kuroki Yasuji drop his job and look for it. That thing must be very important, but Kuroki Yasuji didn't ask for help from the villagers.
The police, didn't even ask them...
I'm afraid something happened here. Conan must have had doubts, so he asked Kuroki Yasuji "Why didn't you stay at Tachibana's house?" and "Is Xiaoshu's brother here?"
"My young master is at Tachibana's house..." Kuroki Yasuji answered Conan's question. He found his cell phone ringing, took it out and took a look at it, then quickly walked aside with an apologetic look on his face, "I'm sorry, I'll excuse you."
When others watched Kuroki Yasuji leave, the umbrella icon in Chi Feichi's left eye flashed quickly, connecting to Ark's intelligence network.
He should check the latest information from the intelligence network and get the answer directly...
Between 'being spoiled and losing the fun of discovering secrets' and 'possessing insufficient information to judge the situation', he chose to accept the former.
Mitsuhiko waited for Kuroki Yasuji to go further away, then turned to look at Conan with bright eyes, "Conan, you were talking about the little tree just now..."
Genta stared at the figure of Kuroki Yasuji with wide eyes, as if he wanted to find the shadow of his young master in Kuroki Yasuji, "Brother?"
"We haven't seen Xiaoshu for a long time. We don't know how he is doing lately," Bumi said with a smile, "but he has always been very sensible and will definitely be well-behaved."
Yuantai tried to figure it out, "I wonder what kind of person Xiaoshu's brother is..."
Conan did not participate in the discussion and paid attention to Kuroki Yasuji who went to the corner to talk on the phone.
When Mr. Kuroki answered the phone just now, he heard Mr. Kuroki call "Master". Could it be the call from Xiaoshu's brother?
"Conan..."
Mitsuhiko, Genta, and Ayumi put their heads in front of Conan, causing Conan to withdraw his attention.
Mitsuhiko lowered his voice with anticipation, "Shall we go see Xiaoshu's brother?"
Hui Yuan Ai reminded in a low voice, "Xiao Shu's brother is here to visit the elders. We'd better not cause trouble for them."
The Tachibana family has been a famous family in Kyoto since ancient times. The elders of the Xiaoshu family are old acquaintances with the Tachibana family, and their backgrounds may not be simple.
Those long-established aristocratic families pay great attention to rules. It is easy for guests to come uninvited. They are friends with Xiaoshu. If there is an unpleasant incident this time, everyone will not feel good.
If you really want to get to know Xiaoshu’s brother, it’s better to wait until Xiaoshu is around before asking to visit...
"Don't worry, Haiyuan," Mitsuhiko assured with a serious look, "We just want to see Xiaoshu's brother. If he has something to do, we just need to take a look and we won't cause any trouble to them!"
Haihara Ai felt that the children thought too simply, "But..."
"Then try talking to Mr. Kuroki," Conan said with a smile on his face, "If he can agree to take us there, that would be the best!"
"Hey, Edogawa..." Haibara Ai wanted to ask Conan why he was joining in the fun, but suddenly he noticed that Conan was looking at Kuroki Seiji with a confused and solemn look. He was stunned for a moment, and then he also looked at Kuroki Seiji and asked in a soft voice.
, "What's wrong?"
"I'm not sure yet, but the side of Mr. Kuroki's shoes..."
Conan whispered his findings to Haibara Ai, and then analyzed, "Mr. Kuroki looks like he is looking for something around here, but if something is lost or someone is lost, a normal person would call the police or search for something."
Can the villagers help? If you meet us, you can also ask us if we have seen someone or something."
"He is searching alone, and it seems that he has no intention of asking anyone else for help." Haibara Ai looked at Kuroki Yasuji who was talking on the phone over there, and thought along the way, "It means that he doesn't want others to know that he is looking for something, or that he doesn't want others to know that he is looking for something.
, can’t let others know.”
"Yeah," Conan saw Kuroki Yasuji coming back, he hesitated and lowered his voice, "Although it is possible that Xiaoshu's brother wants to hide something here from the Tachibana family, I also want to make things better.
I don’t think so, but Mr. Kuroki was once a world judo champion, and his skills should be very good. Even if he is walking in the woods, he can make sure that he is not caught by the branches and leaves as much as possible. There are so many scratches on his clothes, which means that he is in the woods.
Walking in a hurry."
Haiyuan Ai understood, and her expression became serious, "Walking in the woods, the chances of looking for something are very low, it is very likely that you are looking for someone."
Conan nodded lightly and added in a low voice, "In addition, it is also strange that he did not accompany his young master when he visited the elders in the family. Something big must have happened here..."
"Young Master Feichi," Kuroki Yasuji returned to Chi Feichi, his attitude still gentle and polite, "My young master heard that you and your friends were playing here, and asked me to say hello to you on his behalf. In addition, Xingping, who lives here,
The husband heard that you are coming and wants to invite you to his home. If you are not in a hurry to leave, you can take your friends with you..."
“It’s amazing!”
The three children cheered.
"Can we really be guests in that big house in the village?"
"You can also meet Xiaoshu's brother!"
Chi Feichi also nodded and agreed, "Then we'll take the liberty of coming to bother you."
Seeing that the children were happy, Kuroki Yasuji's expression softened a lot. He looked at a shop at the end of the street and said, "Did you just plan to go to a specialty store to taste the special delicacies here? My Master Mo also asked me to pack some special delicacies for him.
Take it back, if you don't mind, we can go and have a look together, and after I buy the things that Master Mo needs, I will take you to Mr. Xingping's house."
Chi Feichi started to walk to the specialty food store, showing by his actions that he didn't mind, "Is the specialty food here rabbit?"
"Rabbit?" Kuroki Yasuji was stunned for a moment, then followed Chi Feichi, "Why do you think of rabbits? Speaking of Mr. Yukihira, don't you think of beef that melts in your mouth?"
"Huh?" Dr. A Li's eyes lit up, "Speaking of beef, the beef produced in the pastures in Kobe is very famous..."
"I have an acquaintance with Mr. Yukihira, but I have heard of him before. The ranch he runs mainly breeds high-quality black Tajima cattle," Chi Feichi said to Dr. Agasa, "It's just that in recent years he has been very
Don’t show up much. Last time we went to Kyoto to enjoy the cherry blossoms, he only went there for half a day. I didn’t expect him to live here.”
"Mr. Yukihira is relatively close to nature and doesn't like to go to banquets. Probably because of this personality, he has the patience to run a breeding ground that supplies high-quality ingredients," Kuroki Yasuji explained, looking in the direction outside the village, "
He hired people to cultivate the farmland here, and the pastures were also built nearby. He stayed here all year round and rarely went to Kyoto. The last time he was willing to go, it was because the teahouse that was preparing a banquet purchased a large amount of ingredients from him.
"
Dr. A Li: "..."
Accidentally strayed into the territory of a breeding boss?
He used to think that buying two mountains was a luxury, but he no longer thinks so. If high-quality beef and vegetables could be produced here, the income from the business would have been enough to buy many mountains.
Mitsuhiko couldn't help but sigh, "That gentleman sounds so powerful. Can one person manage so many farmlands and pastures?"
"He is also one of the suppliers of edible insects in many areas of Japan," Chi Feichi raised his eyes and looked at the shop in front, "so I really can't guess what will be sold here."
"Unfortunately, your intuition is very accurate. There are no rabbits you want to buy here," Yasuji Kuroki followed Chi Fei late to the door of the store. "Although there should be rabbits raised in Mr. Yukihira's ranch, the village's specialty food is insects.
"
The faces of the three children changed drastically.
"Kun, insect?!"
Chi Feichi: "..."
As soon as he heard 'Mr. Yukihira' and then thought of 'special food', he knew that his rabbit was gone.
Behind him, Haibara Ai observed Kuroki Yasuji's calm expression and whispered to Conan in a low voice, "He is still in the mood to buy special delicacies, and he doesn't seem to be in a hurry to find someone..."
Conan also doubted his own judgment and whispered back, "Let's see again."
Could it be that Mr. Kuroki and Xiaoshu's brother are both weird? The housekeeper accompanies the young master to visit people, but likes to run laps in the forest and the village first?
