Chapter 298 The people around Mr. Maori are so strange
"That..."
Mao Lilan noticed the old woman wearing a monk's uniform passing by, turned around and asked, "Hello, although this question is a bit strange, but I still ask... do you know what color the hair of the Venerable Goddess is?"
Chi Feichi: "..."
Why do you have to ask this question? Isn’t it bad to be deceived by him...
The old woman did not expect anyone to ask this question, and said seriously, "According to the records handed down, the hair of the Venerable Goddess is as long as flames!"
"Ah?" Mao Lilan confirmed the red hair she just saw, fiery red, yes, "Then...how tall is the Venerable Goddess?"
"How do I know this question? If I have to say it, it must be as high as the sky and the earth. After all, the Lord Goddess is a god!" The old woman looked at the stone statue of Goddess in the mountains and forests outside the car window, sighed with emotion, and turned around to ask
Mao Lilan, "Why are you asking this?"
"Ah, no, it's nothing..." Mao Lilan's face looked a little unnatural.
We can't say that they might have seen the Venerable Heavenly Lady just now, right?
Conan also found it incredible.
red hair…
Did they really see the Venerable Goddess just now?
…
The train enters the station.
Before the group of people walked out of the station, they came face to face with a woman wearing a purple dress and long black hair. She asked gently, "Excuse me, are you Mr. Mouri Kogoro?"
"I am," Mouri Kogoro's eyes lit up when he saw the woman, with a crazy look on his face, "What a beauty! Are you the one who came to pick us up?"
"Yes, my name is Yoshino Ayaka, and I am the secretary to the vice president of Domoto Tourism Company." Yoshino Ayaka smiled and bowed, "I have been waiting for you for a long time. Please give me your advice!"
"Where," Mouri Kogoro scratched his head and laughed, "I'm so sorry to trouble your company to entertain these two children. Ah, by the way, this is my disciple. We met on the road. He happened to come to Tianbu Mountain for sightseeing.
."
"Hello, I am Chi Feichi." Chi Feichi nodded towards Yoshino Ayaka.
"Hello," Yoshino Ayaka said with a smile, "Since you are Mr. Mori's disciple, come with us. I believe the president will be happy to entertain you."
Chi Feichi said in a cold tone, "Don't bother, I've already booked a room."
"I'm sorry, this guy's character is like this..." Mouri Kogoro said.
"It's okay." Yoshino Ayaka always seems to have a good temper.
"Hello, my name is Mao Lilan," Mao Lilan also said hello and looked at Conan, "And this is Conan who is temporarily staying in my house."
Conan suddenly smiled and said in a cute childish voice, "Hello, aunt~!"
"Shouldn't I call you sister?" Chi Feichi said coolly.
Conan: "..."
Huh? Wait, he seems to have forgotten something...
It seems like yesterday, he tricked Chi Feichi and ran away...
Is this the beginning of revenge...
"Yeah, you kid really can't speak," Mouri Kogoro glanced at Conan, then turned to Yoshino Ayaka and smiled, "Miss Ayaka is so young and beautiful, of course she has to be called sister!"
"Mr. Mori, please stop joking with me. I'm already 28 years old. It's right to call me aunty," Yoshino Ayaka bent down and greeted Conan with a smile. "Hello, please give me your advice, Conan."
A group of people left the station.
Various shops have been opened outside the station, and many tourists gather, either walking together, looking at the scenery, or sitting together to eat.
Yoshino Ayaka drove the group to the hotel on the mountain.
"This time the famous Maori detective comes to our company in person. The opening ceremony held tomorrow is really an honor for us."
"Don't be so polite to me," Mouri Kogoro said with a smile, "Bunny Girl~"
Mao Lilan was speechless. She turned to look out the car window and suddenly noticed that there were signs hanging outside protesting the development.
"These are all signs against the cable car." Mouri Kogoro also turned around and looked serious, "It seems that your company will come to me this time. It should not just ask me to attend the opening ceremony."
?”
"Yes," Yoshino Ayaka hesitated, "the president will personally explain this later..."
Arriving at the hotel on the top of the mountain, Yoshino Ayaka asked Mouri Kogoro to meet the president in the special reception room.
Chi Feichi did not join in the fun, but took Feichi and Feimo to the room.
After arriving in the hotel room, Feichi patrolled the site every day and looked around every corner. "The rooms in this hotel are really good!"
"Yeah." Chi Feichi was also very satisfied. Although the color in the room was a bit drab, the sofa, bed, and the large floor-to-ceiling windows facing the mountains were all very comfortable.
Feimo jumped to the window and took a look, his eyes were green and he looked very excited, "Master, ask Feichi if you want to go for a ride?"
"Going for a ride?" Chi Feichi didn't understand.
"Feimo wants to take me for a ride? Go! Go!" Feichi climbed up.
Then, Chi Fei understood belatedly...
Feimo's so-called "joy ride" is to let Fei Chi wrap around it, and it also grabs Fei Chi with its paws, and then flies out of the window, flying wildly in the air.
Seeing two pets making noise outside the window, Chi Feichi took out his mobile phone and called Koizumi Hongzi, "Hongzi, I'm at the hotel."
"I'm on the mountain, looking for that bead. I don't know where my ancestors put it." Koizumi Hongzi said, "I'll probably go to the hotel later."
"Want to help?" Chi Feichi asked.
"No, I'll look for it first," Koizumi Hongzi said, "Looking at the energy display, it should be near the Statue of the Goddess. If I can't find it, I'll ask you for help."
"OK."
After hanging up the phone, there was a knock on the door.
Mao Lilan invited Chi Feichi to try out the cable car.
Chi Fei asked after a while, only Yoshino Ayaka, the vice president of Domoto Kanko and the four of them agreed.
He had no impression of this case and had no intention of getting involved.
Tetsuya Aoyagi hasn't started blackmailing him yet. On the surface, the two of them have no intersection, so even if Tetsuya Aoyagi dies later, he has no motive for killing. And if they meet, Tetsuya Aoyagi will also see any special reaction in him, or get angry.
Conan will definitely find out about his intention to blackmail again.
Now, it's best to avoid Tetsuya Aoyagi...
Fei Chi and Fei Mo probably felt that flying was not new, so they decided to try the feeling of riding a cable car. One was hidden in their sleeves, the other was parked on Chi Feichi's shoulder, and they started off together.
However, not long after boarding the cable car, Snake and Crow became a little less interested.
It's just that being in a big moving box and being pulled up a mountain by a rope is incomparable to flying...
The windows of the cable car cannot be opened and can only be used for viewing.
The door has a safety lock during operation and cannot be opened until it reaches the end point.
There was only a small ventilation window above the head. Fei Mo could not fly out even if his wings were spread wider than the window, let alone fly out with Fei Chi.
"Be patient, we're almost there." Chi Feichi could only advise.
Over there, Mouri Kogoro was afraid of heights. He closed his eyes and froze in his seat, muttering in a low voice, "Yeah, we'll be there in a minute, we'll be there in a minute..."
"Huh?" Vice President Domoto Yasunori turned to Kogoro Mori and asked, "Mr. Mori, is he afraid of heights?"
"I, I'm fine," Mouri Kogoro said with a stiff face, "Just don't look outside..."
Mao Lilan, who was standing by the window, saw that Feimo was wilting and asked in confusion, "Don't Feimo like taking the cable car?"
"It feels boring." Chi Feichi said.
"That's right," Yoshino Ayaka said with a smile, "Birds can fly freely in the sky. For them, suspension in the cable car is a bit too boring, and they can only stay in a small space. They feel that
It's normal to be bored, but the tunnel in front is very interesting, you can come and have a look, Fei Mo."
Fei Mo became more energetic, flew to the back of the seat, stopped, and looked out the window.
Yoshino Ayaka was stunned for a moment, then laughed, "It's so smart. Can you understand what I'm saying?"
"Of course, Feimo is very smart, and Feichi..." Mao Lilan turned around and saw Chi Feichi walking over, "But Miss Ayaka, don't be scared."
"What?" Yoshino Ayaka was confused.
"Fei Chi is a snake, and he is also Fei Chi's pet." Mao Lilan smiled and looked at the collar of Chi Fei Chi's coat, where a snake head was quietly poked out.
Chi Feichi also walked to the window and looked outside.
The cable car was near the Tiannu Stone Statue, and there was no sign of Koizumi Anko. Could it be that she ran into the tunnel?
When Fei Chi saw Mao Lilan talking about it, he stuck his head out a little to show that he was here.
Yoshino Ayaka didn't notice Feichi before, but now she saw it clearly, and her hands and feet felt a little stiff for a while.
Suddenly I felt that the people around Mr. Maoli were very strange.
It's okay for a cold disciple to keep a crow as a pet. Although it is rare, it is not unheard of, but it is more strange to keep a snake on his body.
I originally thought that Mao Lilan was a girl with a gentle personality and a good temper. She also seemed to like snakes. When she saw a snake, her expression changed and she looked so affectionate. Wasn't she afraid of being bitten... She couldn't offend her, she couldn't offend her.
"Miss Ayaka?" Mao Lilan was a little worried when she saw Yoshino Ayaka's expression was wrong, "Are you okay?"
"It's nothing," Yoshino Ayaka came to her senses and said helplessly, "I'm really sorry, I've been afraid of snakes since I was a child..."
Chi Feichi silently moved away.
Yoshino Ayaka hurriedly said, "Actually, you don't have to do this, I..."
"It's okay." Chi Feichi smoothly carried Conan over and put him next to him.
Conan: "..."
If you want to get angry, just get angry. If you don't agree, just pick him up, just like reminding him what he did yesterday, but then you won't say or do anything after that, which will make him feel uncomfortable...
On the side, Mouri Kogoro endured the discomfort of being at a high place and talked about business with Domoto Yasunori.
Some villagers objected to the development because they felt the money was not enough, and even called to threaten Domoto. In addition, some people and local newspapers were preaching retribution and curses, making other villagers worried.
I would rather believe that there is...
"Ah, the tunnel is here." Yoshino Ayaka reminded a group of people.
As the cable car enters the tunnel, you can vaguely see many stone statues placed on both sides of the passage under the faint light below.
Mao Lilan was startled, "What is that?"
"That's the Five Hundred Arhat Statue," Yoshino Ayaka explained. "To be honest, we are passing through the body of the goddess statue above."
"Passing through the body?" Mao Lilan wondered, "Does it mean that if it passes through the body of the statue, there will be any benefits?"
Yoshino Ayakadao, "That's probably what it means. You can call it propaganda."
Chi Feichi lowered his head and looked at the Arhat statue below.
The development plan of Domoto Tourism is very brilliant, but it is really unlucky to cut a hole in the body of the goddess statue to allow the cable car to pass through, and to put the statue of Five Hundred Arhats inside.
Especially, when he thought that this was the statue of Koizumi Anko's ancestor, his mood was a little subtle.
I don’t know how Koizumi Anko felt after seeing it...
