Conan: I'm Not a Model Worker in the Winery

Chapter 544 The missing Yuantai

"They said there were a lot of matsutake mushrooms here... That manager was just lying!"

"Yuanta..."

Seeing Genta sitting on the ground digging the soil in dejection because he had been searching for a long time without success, Mitsuhiko and Ayumi were also a little discouraged, but at least they still maintained their image.

At the same time, Mitsuhiko kept winking at Yuanta: Mr. Lin’s scary friend is still watching them! Image, pay attention to your image!
After receiving Mitsuhiko's gaze, Yuantai broke out in a cold sweat and gave Mitsuhiko a guilty look in return: Good guy, he forgot.

The wailing stopped abruptly.

Under the gaze of his friends and several adults, Yuan Tai quickly stood up and patted his butt, looking very motivated: "Yoshi! How can we give up just because of such a small difficulty? We will definitely find the matsutake mushrooms!!"

Mitsuhiko and Ayumi also raised their hands: "Oh!!"

then.

They glanced at the glasses cautiously.

The latter probably thought they were boring, so he turned his eyes away expressionlessly and scanned the forest.

Upon seeing this, Emperor Dan Sanbao breathed a sigh of relief.

Conan saw this scene: "..."

This is not necessary, right?
"Ah, you three are very energetic." Lie turned his head and looked at them with a smile, "But picking mushrooms requires skills. If you just look for them like this, you may not find many in a day."

"Eh?"

Facing Lie, Sanbao was completely relaxed, "Uncle Lin! Can you tell us some tricks?"

Rei kept smiling and poked Conan: "Ah~ Of course! In fact, the technique for finding mushrooms is..."

"...The trick is to first understand the growth habits of matsutake mushrooms." Conan, who was forced to work, twitched his lips twice. "There are many red pine trees here, which are places where matsutake mushrooms may grow together... However, if there are matsutake mushrooms under the red pine trees, they will absorb more nutrients, so the branches and leaves of the red pine trees will often appear a dry yellow color that is not very nutritious."

"Hmm~ Conan is right~"

Lie smiled and clapped his hands to show his approval of Conan, then he walked around to a tree some distance behind him, picked up a matsutake mushroom, and stuffed it into Conan's arms, "Hey! This is a reward for Conan~"

Conan: "..."

This is not necessary.

With a long sigh, seeing that the three friends' eyes were all focused on him, with a little admiration, Conan continued helplessly: "Besides, Matsutake mushrooms generally grow in places with plenty of sunlight, good drainage and ventilation conditions."

As he was talking, Conan also got into the mood a little bit, and according to his own reasoning, he took Sanbao to find an area where Matsutake mushrooms grew.

After learning about the growth habits of Matsutake mushrooms, the Teidan Sanbao became very smart and immediately scattered in search of Matsutake mushrooms.

Conan originally wanted to stay where he was and find an opportunity to ask Rei what he was trying to do this time, but he was pulled away by Ayumi to pick mushrooms.

Hiroki and Haibara Ai were always looking for various kinds of mushrooms and didn't take picking Matsutake mushrooms seriously at all...but they were still trying very hard to find mushrooms.

"Brother Jing~Should we go pick some too?"

After Dr. Agasa also went to look for mushrooms, Liecai said to the camera with an eager look on his face.

He has never picked mushrooms since he was a child!

Jing glanced at him and said in a hoarse voice, "Go if you want to. Don't drag me along."

We can’t take them home to cook, we can only eat them now. What’s the point of picking them?

Although Lie was a little disappointed that he couldn't pick mushrooms with Jing, he was still eager to try: "Then~ Brother Jing, I'll go pick some! When can you come over?"

Jing's eyes flickered as he looked towards the other side of the wire fence. "There are too many people around... let's go at night."

After passing through two barbed wire fences, they reached the hunting area. Even though they were several kilometers away, they could feel the blood and yin energy there.

And beyond the hunting area... Jing's mouth twitched, and then he followed Lie and watched him pick mushrooms.

However, just as he watched Lie pick two Matsutake mushrooms, Jing's ears suddenly moved and his gaze turned to the middle area separated by wire mesh.

……

"Eh?! Mr. Cang Feng, you said Yuan Tai is on the other side of the barbed wire?"

Dr. Agasa and others, who had already collected a lot of Matsutake mushrooms, found that Genta was missing, so they came to the place where they had dispersed before and waited for a long time but no one showed up.

"I heard the sound of the barbed wire being moved." Jing's face was cold, "If it wasn't anyone else, it must have been that child."

After having contact with the members of the Junior Detective League twice, Jing still had no intention of getting close to them.

Conan frowned, his hands stuck on the wire mesh, confirming Jing's statement: "What Uncle Cangfeng said should be true... There is mud on the wire mesh, and the grid here is small, which means a child just climbed over it... And there are a lot of red pine trees with yellow branches and leaves that I just mentioned on the opposite side, so it is very likely that Yuantai went to the other side."

Dr. Agasa scratched his head in distress: "This is really difficult... Genta's detective armband was just brought to me for repair due to poor communication."

Ayumi and Mitsuhiko suddenly became anxious: "What should we do? What if Genta gets lost..."

The other side is the hunting area!

"Then there's nothing we can do."

Lie's eyes suddenly lit up, "How about, Brother Qian, let's go find someone?"

Mirror nodded expressionlessly: "Okay."

This disappearance is a good move, which gives him a good opportunity.

"I, I want to go too!" At this time, Ayumi and Mitsuhiko suddenly raised their hands, "Yuta is a member of the Junior Detective Team, we can't just leave him alone!"

mirror:-_-…

Tsk, looks like we have to wait until night.

Finally, the few of them discussed it together, and Conan helped to arrange the action - Professor Agasa and Rei waited on the spot to prevent Genta from running back by himself;
Ayumi, Mitsuhiko and Conan act as a team, Haibara Ai and Hiroki are together, and Kagami is alone.

No one had any objection to this distribution.

However, before crossing the barbed wire and moving separately, Retsu winked at Hiroki.

With the members missing, Conan temporarily had no energy to explore Rei's purpose in bringing Jing to contact them this time, and he began to concentrate on looking for his friends.

Rei stood on the other side of the barbed wire, waving his hands, and shouting with Dr. Agasa for the children to be careful.

……

"Hey! Yuanta--Yuanta! Can you hear me?"

"Yuanta, if you can hear me, please respond!"

……

Getting lost in the forest is no small matter.

The fragrant smell of earth and the tranquility of the forest often hide unknown dangers.

——But the mirror doesn’t matter at all.

After crossing the barbed wire, he reached the second line of defense near the hunting area at the fastest speed and easily entered the hunting area.

After making sure there was no human activity nearby, Jing took out a pair of glasses and hung them on his ear, saying in a hoarse voice, "Noah, give me the location of the target location."
