The young palms tightly grasped the rough branches. Looking at the big tree in front of him, Conan looked for a foothold and a branch that could be used to grab strength.
"Conan must be careful! Don't force yourself!" Under the maple tree, Xiaolan warned Conan with a worried look on his face.
"It's okay, it's okay, my brother-in-law is here. Even if the kid falls, he can be easily caught."
Yuanzi didn't look worried at all. She looked at Xiaolan nonchalantly and comforted her: "Don't worry, my brother-in-law will definitely have no problem with Conan's safety.
As a brother-in-law, if Conan falls, he will definitely be able to catch it."
'Can't you just hope for me!'
After hearing what Sonoko said, Conan started to complain crazily while climbing the tree.
Because Yuanzi accidentally threw away the handkerchief and it was blown away by the wind, everyone ran after the handkerchief for a while, and then they saw the red handkerchief falling on the tree from a distance.
Fortunately, the mountain is not too high. After climbing up, it is mostly flat and quite spacious, so everyone can chase the handkerchief all the way to the maple tree. Otherwise, the purpose of the garden is very likely to "die before you are born."
"Yes.
But even so, the lost handkerchief still caused trouble for everyone.
Because there are red maple leaves all over the mountains and fields, the handkerchief in the garden blends perfectly into the environment and cannot be seen from below.
So I had to climb trees to look for it.
Tangze had just been injected with [Gene Enhancer Type III], and his body's strength was growing and adapting every day. Tangze was afraid that he would not be able to grasp the strength of his legs on a branch that was too thin.
So he proposed that Conan climb the tree to find the red handkerchief in the garden, and he was responsible for the safety of the other party.
Because of his skill here, and having been together for so long, everyone knew that his nervous reflexes were developed, so when safety was guaranteed, Conan was forced to become a tool man who climbed trees to find handkerchiefs.
Well, today is another beautiful day of daily persecution of Conan~
Later, Karasawa used his height to send him to the place where the trunk bifurcated, but the branches became thinner as he went up.
It's just that the branches become thinner and more difficult as you get to the top, making it naturally more difficult to find.
Conan searched for a while, but still couldn't find Sonoko's red handkerchief.
"How about the boy wearing glasses!" Yuanzi urged with his hands on his hips: "Have you tried hard to find it?"
'You're very verbose...' Conan glanced at Yuanzi unhappily from the tree and cursed: 'Besides, I'm not sure whether it's actually this tree...'
"Conan, be careful!"
Ayako shouted towards the tree, then looked at her sister who was urging Lian Sheng angrily and said: "Conan-kun is helping you find a handkerchief, please have a better attitude!"
"I know." Hearing her sister's lecture, Sonoko shrank her head and said in a better tone: "Conan-kun~ That's a very important handkerchief of mine! Please look for it carefully!"
'What? I said it a little more respectfully, but in fact the tone is still the same.'
Conan cursed Sonoko's perfunctory attitude while cautiously continuing to climb up.
After looking around for a while, Conan lowered his head and shouted: "I've looked all over, but I just can't find the handkerchief!"
"How come I can't find it?" Yuanzi touched his chin and asked puzzledly: "I obviously remember my hand, but I was afraid it would float to this tree..."
"ah!"
Suddenly Conan's exclamation came from the tree, which made Yuanzi look up with joy and said: "What? Did you find it?"
"kindness..."
Conan's hesitant words came from the tree: "If you say you have found it, you have found it..."
Looking at the red handkerchief tied to a branch in front of him, Conan felt that it was unlikely to be like the one that was blown away by the wind in the garden.
"Hey! I want to ask you if you have found it!" Yuanzi, who was eager to know the answer, shouted impatiently from below: "Please make it clear!!"
"Don't rush me!" Ayako felt that her sister's attitude toward a child was a little bad, so she planned to say something to her.
But when she turned her face, she saw a patch of red at Yuanzi's feet with her peripheral vision, and when she lowered her head to look at it, the corner of her mouth twitched involuntarily.
"Garden!"
Ayako pointed to the opponent's feet: "Look at what's under your feet."
"Eh? At your feet?"
Sonoko, you looked down and saw the red handkerchief that was stepped on by your white boots.
"Ah...here, here...hahaha..."
At this moment, Yuanzi was no longer as impatient as before. Instead, she blushed and looked at everyone laughing in embarrassment.
"You have time to laugh, so why not think about how to deal with the person above." Tang Ze reminded him in a faint tone, causing Yuanzi to wake up quickly.
"Conan-kun~Edogawa Conan-kun~"
How impatient his tone was before, now Sonoko's tone was so disgusting, "Well... Conan-kun~ I found the handkerchief..."
Seeing the speed at which Sonoko's face changed from being arrogant to respectful, Conan, who had struggled to climb down the tree, felt unhappy for a while, but in the end he just sighed and forgave his childhood sweetheart who had "cheated" him to death.
"You kid, why don't you apologize to Conan-kun quickly!"
Ayako on the side saw that Sonoko had troubled Conan for so long and now wanted to get away with it, so she couldn't help but look serious and began to educate her sister.
"I'm sorry! I accidentally tricked you!" Yuanzi heard the old sister's angry scolding and quickly clasped his hands together and said, "Thank you for helping to climb the tree to find the handkerchief!"
"It's okay, I didn't care."
Although Conan felt secretly happy, he was still polite on the surface and said he didn't need to take it to heart.
"Okay, let's keep going."
Seeing that the handkerchief had been found, Karasawa didn't dwell too much on the matter. After helping Sonoko divert Ayako's lecture, everyone walked together towards the location in the movie.
"Speaking of which, I have never seen you with such high interest in the garden before."
Seeing Yuanzi holding the lost red handkerchief with a silly expression on her face, Xiaolan on the side asked with a smile: "It's not like I didn't have any favorite movies before, why did you come here?"
“Of course it’s part of the final plot of the movie~”
Yuanzi heard this with a smile on his face: "But the other half of the reason is that the officer in the movie is strong, dark-skinned, dull and taciturn, and he is very handsome..."
"So you really thought the other person was Kyogoku when you were watching the movie?" Xiaolan said with a smile.
"Yes, yes, just like him!" Sonoko nodded repeatedly: "I watched the previous DVD and became hooked!"
"The romantic love story of a strong, dark-skinned military officer and a rich young lady..."
Hearing this, Tang Ze couldn't help complaining: "You probably want to run here because the identities of the two people in the movie are so immersive, right?"
"That's right!" Yuanzi turned around with the handkerchief: "So I imitated the plot in the play and came here to help with this lifelong love handkerchief!"
Sonoko's affirmation attracted Conan's ruthless ridicule. She looked at Conan unhappily and said: "What do you know, a brat like you? This is a romance between adults!"
"Then your romance is really worthless~Sister Yuanzi~"
Conan smiled and pointed to the woods ahead. Yuanzi turned his head and took a look ahead. He saw maple trees all over the mountains and fields in front of him. The red maple leaves undulated slightly with the autumn wind. It looked so beautiful.
"It's nothing." Yuanzi glanced at Conan from a distance and looked at Conan strangely: "What are you talking nonsense about?"
"Look carefully." Conan pointed to the maple forest ahead: "Don't look at the leaves, look at the branches!"
"Twigs?"
After hearing this, Yuanzi looked at the branches of the maple tree, and was instantly dumbfounded.
Just now she was just talking and turned her head back without taking a closer look. Now when she looked again, she found that the maple branches all over the mountains and fields in front of her were all tied with red handkerchiefs.
It is really all over the mountains and plains, and every tree and even every branch is tied with a red handkerchief.
Tangze had no doubt that even if all the red maples on the branches fell off, these numbers would still look like the scene in front of him from a distance.
"Wait, wait a minute..." Yuanzi looked at the scene in front of her and shouted in disbelief: "How could this happen!!"
"Yuanzi, could this be the last scene in the movie?" Xiaolan, who understood the content on the way here, asked as she looked at the surrounding scene.
"Yes, in the last scene the officer was waiting for Miss Qianjin behind the big rock." Yuanzi nodded.
"So the answer is obvious."
Tangze shrugged and said, "Everyone had the same idea after watching the movie, so they all ended up here and tied red handkerchiefs on the trees nearby.
People all have a herd mentality, and as long as there is the first person, the people behind will follow suit."
"Oops, what should we do!?"
Yuanzi seemed to have thought of something suddenly, and her expression became panicked: "I have already sent a mail to Ah Zhen, the content is "This year's Eve Eve, I will wait for you under the red maples in winter"...
What should we do now!! These are all red handkerchiefs, no one can find the target when they come!"
"Pfft~"
Xiaolan couldn't help but laugh after hearing her best friend's words: "I mean Yuanzi, you love to write the kind of emails that force people to be obsessed with money."
"I didn't expect that!!" Yuanzi looked at the red handkerchiefs all over the mountains and said in despair: "I didn't expect that there were so many handkerchiefs hanging here..."
"I don't think you need to worry too much."
Tangze said with relief: "Although everyone came and tied up with red handkerchiefs, it also gave this place a different sense of romance than other places.
Moreover, it also reduces the difficulty of the endless puzzles created by unprofessional people like yours. Wouldn’t it be nice to wait for him around here?”
But he didn't expect that after Tangze finished speaking, he found Yuanzi looking at him with a gloomy face, looking very angry.
"Huh? What's wrong?"
Tang Ze looked at Yuanzi in confusion. He didn't understand why the other party's face suddenly changed: "Why are you looking so angry?"
"Although brother-in-law, you love your sister very much, you still don't understand women well enough."
Yuanzi said angrily: "If he didn't appear under my handkerchief, then there would be no point in his existence!"
"So you are determined to let him find you?"
Looking at Sonoko's serious attitude, Karasawa silently mourned for Kyogoku for three seconds.
It's really not easy to have such a troublesome girlfriend.
"Then Sister Yuanzi, you might really have to be prepared to tour the mountains and plains."
Conan on the side laughed happily: "I also noticed it when I was on the tree just now. I saw that there was also a red handkerchief tied on the trunk."
"No!"
After hearing Conan's words, Sonoko couldn't help but exclaimed: "But it was still a long way from here just now, wasn't it!?"
"Yes, that's true." Tang Ze nodded, also gloating: "It seems that your goal has a long way to go."
"how so!!"
Yuanzi looked at the red maple forest all over the mountains and fields, and felt that the red was all red with handkerchiefs: "What if all the maple leaf branches on this mountain were tied with red handkerchiefs!!"
"Now you should think about where your Ah Zhen should be waiting for you." Tang Ze continued to worry.
"No, no, after Brother Kyogoku sees Sister Sonoko's text message, can he contact her "Winter Maple Red" to understand the meaning of the message? Or is it another matter?"
Because Tang Ze was present, Conan became much bolder, and immediately retaliated with a "venomous tongue": "After all, Sister Sonoko's puzzle is too confusing."
"Ahhhh!!"
Hearing the heart-wrenching remarks alternately made by the two men present, one large and one small, Yuanzi scratched his hair frantically, and then a firm look appeared on his face: "Well, in this case, there is nothing we can do!
Sister, Xiaolan and brother-in-law, please help me, I want to remove all the red handkerchiefs on this mountain!!"
"Eh??"
Xiaolan originally thought that Yuanzi was going to ask them to help find a red maple tree on the mountain that was not tied with a red handkerchief, but she did not expect that the other party's brain circuit was completely different from theirs.
As expected of the eldest lady of the Suzuki family, she immediately wanted to remove the red handkerchiefs around her and monopolize this entire "holy land".
"This matter is related to the fate between me and Ah Zhen!"
As Sonoko spoke, she walked towards the maple tree in front of her. It seemed that she was not just talking, but actually planning to take action.
"This child..." Ayako looked at her sister with a headache, feeling that the other party's behavior was really a bit out of line.
After all, who in the right mind would think of tearing apart the red handkerchiefs tied up by others? Every red handkerchief is the person's intention. If the person involved sees this action, he will definitely be angry, and it is not impossible to even arouse public anger.
But Yuanzi didn't care about that. He bit the red handkerchief in his mouth and climbed directly towards the nearest maple tree.
Looking at Sonoko who had already stepped onto a branch and was unwrapping a handkerchief, Ayako finally thought of stopping her sister.
"I'm sorry! I'm sorry, I'm really sorry!!"
But before Ayako could speak, a man suddenly ran up from a distance, apologizing as he ran.
Looking at the man running towards him, everyone had doubts on their faces.
