Conan: Live in the Maori Detective Agency at the beginning

On the way back to the hotel.

Conan thought for a long time and said calmly: "I feel this matter is very strange. As the leader of the nearby hunters, the murderer should not be unable to recognize whether it is an animal or a human."

"Indeed, I hid in the bushes and made some noise, but he waited until I heard someone coming out before shooting." Xingchen murmured, stroking his chin, "I also saw the look of astonishment on his face."

"Ai, do you remember the little bear we met at the beginning?" Xingchen turned and looked at Haibara Ai and said.

"Hmm." Huiyuan Ai thought of a possibility and guessed with a serious look: "You mean."

"I suspect that the hunter who killed someone did it to stop the victim from doing something, such as hunting bear cubs." Xingchen guessed. It could only be said to be a guess, because the place where the victim died did not look like a very secret place.

They can also be easily mistaken for prey.

"What?" the three little ones asked in surprise.

"Well, let's look around now, maybe we can find the body of another little bear." Xingchen looked around and guessed. After all, one of the principles of the hunting area is that hunters are not allowed to kill young or pregnant animals.

"Why do you think the one you encountered was not the one the victim was going to hunt?" Mitsuhiko asked curiously.

"Yes." Yuan Tai was also very curious about how Xingchen and the others made their judgment.

"Because of the terrain, there is a slope going down. From below, the little bear cannot be seen in the grass." Conan pointed to the place here and said, "Then the hunter may think it is an animal like a rabbit."

"If it is true as Xingchen guessed, that he wanted to stop the victim, then there is only one possibility, that is, this person has already hunted the little bear and used the little bear's body as bait to attract the big bear."

"Thus hunting down the great bear."

"That's too much." Ayumi felt that this approach was wrong.

"What a pity. It's also wrong for the hunter to stop people. He shouldn't stop everything by depriving others of their lives." Xingchen said with a sigh.

Conan deduced from Xingchen's words: "Then there should be two little bears. The one you encountered should have been brought here by the big bear. It was because the little bear's body attracted the big bear."

"Everything you said is very likely." Dr. Agasa agreed.

Huiyuan Ai also guessed the whole story and said: "Then the body of the other little bear should be nearby."

"Why don't we look for it?" Mitsuhiko suggested.

"Yeah." Everyone responded.

They searched around and were not far from the murdered hunter.

Xingchen found the body of a little bear hanging on a tree.

"Found it, it's here." Xingchen shouted repeatedly.

Dr. Agasa untied the rope and put it on the ground.

"What a poor little bear." Ayumi said sadly while squatting on the ground.

"Bears usually only give birth to two cubs at a time, and then the big bear and the cub are left to depend on each other," said Conan.

"It seems that when we came here, Big Bear was confronting the hunter." Xingchen felt a little guilty and sad and said lightly: "That shot was just to make us leave."

Let him do it again and he would still capture the hunter.

Because even if it is for the purpose of protecting animals, it is not a reason to kill people.

"Let's bury it here." Xingchen found a Feng Shui treasure land and said to everyone.

"Yeah." Huibara Ai responded silently.

Then they built a small stone tomb for the little bear and prepared to leave.

Haibara Ai looked back at the stone tomb, a hint of sadness in her eyes.

"I don't know if the little bear has returned to her mother."

"It's definitely possible to get back. Bears have a very keen sense of smell."

"By the way, does the big bear have a name? Generally speaking, hunters here should give bears a name or something like that." Mitsuhiko reminded.

Ayumi recalled and said, "I heard the green hunter say that his name seemed to be Jubei."

The group talked as they walked, all the way back to the other side of the barbed wire fence.

A few meters behind them, a big bear with its cub watched them leave. It licked its calf, then came to the stone tomb, remained silent for a while, and then left.

in the hotel.

Xingchen and his friends gave the harvested mushrooms to the staff.

They then enjoyed a delicious mushroom meal.

After all, just Matsutake is quite monotonous, so they added many different edible mushrooms to the dish.

There was a small oven in front of each person on the table, and on it were slices of mushrooms with black edges, which were the matsutake mushrooms they had picked.

Xingchen picked up the bowl with great anticipation, and gently picked up a piece of carefully roasted, golden and attractive matsutake slices. He first gently shook it at the tip of his nose, and a fresh and elegant pine aroma instantly filled his nose.

The moment he put it in his mouth, he seemed to feel an unprecedented wonderful taste: the meat of the matsutake mushroom was smooth but not greasy, tender and crispy, springy and chewy, and had a similar taste to abalone, but with a bit more natural purity and the unique delicious juice of mushrooms.

With each chew, the sweetness and aftertaste become more intense, interweaving with the milky aroma of butter to form an indescribable wonderful flavor.

The taste is so deep and lingering that one cannot help but take one mouthful after another, indulging in it and unable to extricate oneself.

Xingchen's eyes lit up and he secretly admired in his heart that such delicious food was truly unforgettable and he couldn't stop eating it.

It’s worthy of being called Matsutake.

The others were dazzled by the food and couldn't help but exclaim how delicious it was.

Xingchen put the fried matsutake mushrooms on the rice and made a matsutake rice bowl. Yuantai even ate several bowls of rice with these seven or eight pieces of matsutake mushrooms.

At this time, a pot of steaming matsutake chicken soup was served next to it. A few slices of matsutake were floating in the golden chicken soup, exuding an attractive luster.

The soup is fragrant, with the freshness of Matsutake and the mellowness of chicken. The perfect blend of the two adds a touch of warmth and nourishment to the meal.

Enjoying this rare Matsutake feast, the atmosphere became more harmonious with laughter and joy.

After a while.

Xingchen touched his stomach and murmured, "I'm full."

"This is the first time I've eaten so many matsutake mushrooms." Yuan Tai sighed, "It would be great if every meal had eel rice with matsutake soup."

"It's all Genta's fault. He secretly picked a bunch of matsutake mushrooms. I'm glad he didn't get scolded. Fortunately, the hotel was kind enough to forgive him this time." Mitsuhiko glanced at Genta and complained.

"It's all thanks to me that you can eat so much."

Xingchen Banyue looked at them and thought, haha, this is probably the hush money they were paid for this incident.

"It's almost time. We have to go and record our statements." Haibara Ai said as she wiped her mouth gracefully. From her expression, it seemed that she was very satisfied with the meal.
