Keep busy in the world of Detective Conan

"Ahaha~ Are we finally here?" Hua Lantian looked at the hotel in front of him and yawned sleepily. He had just woken up.

"Of course, Lantian. With the superb skills of my great detective, Maori Kogoro, a trip to Saitama Prefecture is a piece of cake. You can sleep soundly...!"

Kogoro Mouri, who was sitting in the driver's seat, said this in a very arrogant manner.

To be honest, Uncle Maori's driving skills are still pretty good, otherwise he wouldn't have dared to compete in racing with others in the subsequent episode with the Silver Witch.

"Then please, Uncle Maori, turn around and drive too. Ahahaha~, I'll just be lazy... Ahahaha!"

Hua Lantian said shamelessly.

"That's absolutely fine. Just leave it to me, Lantian! Okay, Lantian, Xiaolan, and the brat, get out of the car. We'll put the luggage in the hotel first. The festival will start soon!"

Maori Kogoro checked his watch and urged. Then he got out of the car first and handed the keys to a doorman who already had a keen eye.

The doorman carefully took the key, then asked others to help with the luggage, and got in the car. After the three of them got off the car and took the luggage, he nodded to Kogoro Mouri and drove the car to park.

Kogoro Mouri smacked his lips and sighed, "Damn rich people! I've never seen such cautious and hospitable people treat me so well when I rented a car before."

They quickly packed their luggage and walked out of the room. Since they had booked a high-end hotel and Hua Lantian was paying for it, the Maori family felt a little embarrassed. In the end, after repeated arrangements, Maori Kogoro and Conan stayed in one room, and Ran had a room to herself.

"Alright, let's hurry over to the temple fair being held for the festival. We can see all the activities there!"

Xiaolan urged the three people who were still hesitating and didn't want to move. She didn't know why these three people were too lazy to come out after entering the room.

(The author is like this. When I go on a trip, I don’t want to move once I get into my hotel room. Then I basically order takeout for the rest of the trip╮(─▽─)╭)

Everyone soon arrived at the street. The street, which was originally only illuminated by dim lights from each house, was exceptionally bright today. The streets were crowded with people, demonstrating the popularity of this event.

In a dimly lit hotel room, a TV was on and a live broadcast had begun. A female host with a slightly chubby face began her broadcast:

This is the live broadcast of the Tenkaichi Night Festival in Saitama Prefecture. This event, burning on Mt. Mitake, has made the words "Tenkaichi" famous throughout the country. The Tenkaichi Night Festival, the words "Tenkaichi" are about to appear before everyone's eyes...!

At the same time as this broadcast, there was a person who was covered tightly and rummaging through the drawers in the room. At this moment, sounds other than those of the TV appeared.

"Can you be quiet while you're looking for something? Seriously, I thought you had gone out to watch the fun, but you suddenly came back to get your wallet, and I couldn't take a proper shower..."

(Not only can you not take a good shower, you can’t even get on the road properly…)

The voice was a little vague but still quite clear. Its owner was a middle-aged man who looked a little haggard and was brushing his teeth while looking in the mirror.

(It seems writing is really hard. ＼（０_o）／ Look at what he looks like now.)

"You haven't forgotten our appointment tonight, have you?!"

After brushing his teeth, he turned around and looked at the tightly covered man who was rummaging through something, and said.

(Any normal person would suspect that this person is dressed strangely, right? Even if you know him, you don't even suspect that he's acting strangely today. ヽ（′ー｀）┌ Your eyesight is really bad.)

"Promise?!"

The man finally showed his face, but he was wearing a pair of sunglasses, a scarf covering his mouth, and a hat on his head. He asked back in confusion.

For him, it doesn’t matter whether there is an agreement or not. No matter what the agreement is, you must die today.

"I came here specifically because you said you wanted to celebrate for me."

At this time, our toothbrush man finally realized that something was wrong. He looked around the room and then said:

"What are you doing? Why are you dressed like this? What are you looking for in this room?"

(Of course it’s your life, brother~)

"Sorry, tonight's appointment has been cancelled...!"

As he said this, the "fully armed" man pulled out a revolver and put it to his head.

"Do you know why? Because I have to be the protagonist of the celebration...

"Saitama Prefecture's greatest night festival is about to begin! Everyone, please pay attention! The word '天' (sky) on Mt. Mitake is already igniting!"

Bang! I’m going to die soon…!”

For a moment, the sound of low yet excited voices, the enthusiastic electronic voice of the broadcast host, and the loud and clear sound of gunfire were mixed together.

The man who was brushing his teeth fell to the ground with his eyes open and tooth powder still spitting out of his mouth.

The "fully armed" man took out his wallet, took out all the cash, and then politely squatted down and put it on the ground.

At the same time, he stood up and said apologetically, "I'm so sorry, Jinzhu...!"

(Really, hypocritical! If the dead can hear you, then what's the point of those detective eggs? Want to eat them?)

He silently opened the door and then closed it. A group of middle-aged and elderly men had gathered outside. They looked at the strangely dressed man who had come out. One of them raised a question:

"Excuse me, was that a gunshot? Hey, wait a minute...!"

Before he could finish his words the "heavily armed" man ran away.

(I can only say that this is worthy of the Conan world. It was so easy to hear the sound of gunfire, and he even dared to ask someone who was likely the criminal what the criminal had done...)

The "fully armed" man rushed and bumped all the way, ran out of the hotel, came to a river, and abandoned his camouflage clothes and tools.

Then he took out a disposable camera, a smile appeared on his face, and he took off his sunglasses and threw them into the river.

(Isn’t Xiao Ri the biggest fan of environmental protection? This is not environmentally friendly at all... What a double standard.)

The scene turns back to the first night of the temple fair. On the brightly lit road, except for three people, everyone else is excited and very excited.

The three of them looked at Xiaolan who was talking excitedly in front of them, "It's lit, it's lit! It's the last word 'one'!"

Xiaolan then lowered her head again, looking at Conan, who was "bullied" by her and Hua Lantian and had no choice but to buy a rabbit-shaped balloon. At this time, Conan was holding Xiaolan's hand with the balloon in one hand and Xiaolan's hand in the other, and asked as he walked:

"Conan, do you know? This festival involves lighting the three characters '天下' (World) in that order on three mountains, in order to pray for a bountiful harvest this year."

Conan sighed in surprise at first, then turned his head away and complained in his heart:

"This is similar to the burning characters in Kyoto's Daimonji...!"

"Conan, what's wrong with you? You seem to be in a bad mood...? Is it because the rabbit balloon doesn't suit you and you want the turtle balloon? Awu, wu..."

Hua Lantian, who was walking behind Conan and side by side with Maori Kogoro, was busy eating a large pile of food in his hands, and leaned over to Conan's ear and asked.

Conan got angry when he heard about the balloon. He pushed Hua Lantian away with disdain, as the sauce was about to drip onto him. Then he glared at him and said in a nonchalant manner:

"No, I like rabbits the most. Rabbit balloons are awesome, hahahaha...!"

"Oh, that's good. By the way, do you want to eat something? You're welcome to eat whatever you want. Brother will treat you..."

Hua Lantian shook the food in his hand and asked. Although he didn't show it at the moment and still had a calm smile on his face, he was laughing wildly in his heart.

"Ah, it's nice to do this sometimes, Gulududu, yes, little brat, you don't have to be polite, ahahahaha...!"

Kogoro Mouri took a sip of the craft beer that Hua Lantian bought for him on the road, and then said casually.

Conan rolled his dead eyes and was too tired to complain. He felt that Uncle Maori was sometimes really shameless.

At this time, a panting, sweaty man ran over and stopped not far from them. He slowed down, then looked at Xiaolan and said:

"Excuse me, could you please take a picture of me?"

"Okay, of course!" The enthusiastic Xiaolan would certainly not refuse such a simple and harmless request, so she agreed directly.

"Please use this camera!" the man said, handing her the camera.

Then he pointed into the distance and continued, "Please use that word 一 as the background!" He walked to a suitable place and stood there.

"Is it okay? I want to take a picture!" Xiaolan also straightened her posture and said.

"I'm fine!" Just as he finished saying this and Xiaolan pressed the shutter, the rabbit balloon ears floated into the picture.

"A balloon just ran in..." Xiaolan said helplessly.

Who knew he didn't care, walked up to take the camera, and said, "It's okay, thank you!"

As soon as his hand touched the camera, it was covered by another strong hand. Looking along the hand to its owner, I found that this handsome young man was with this girl.

"Excuse me, sir, what can I do for you?"

Feeling the vague hostility coming from the owner of the hand, he suppressed his anxiety and asked.

"Of course, sir, I'd like to ask why you have a faint smell that only comes from firing a gun...?!"

The owner of the hand was naturally Hua Lantian. He had wondered before why no one was monitoring the reaction to the gunpowder. Now he could smell the faint smell of gunpowder directly with his "dog" nose. There was no way to escape now. Maybe he could directly capture his little brother, Officer Yokogawa.

"What?!" Kogoro Mouri, Conan and Ran were all shocked and said in unison.

The man was a little panicked now. He quickly calmed down and started to talk:

"Well, I was playing with fireworks over there just now, so I got the smell of gunpowder. Sir, please don't talk nonsense. Hahaha, how could it be the smell of gunpowder after firing a gun?

To be honest, I'm a writer. I took these photos while collecting records of various local festivals and customs... Oh, and you can read this book!"

He used his remaining hand to pull out a book with "Shinichi Sai" printed on it.

"Oh, I see..."

Now, in addition to Conan, Hua Lantian, Xiaolan and Maori Kogoro were all fooled by him.

Conan originally thought that this person was weird, and now with Hua Lantian's enlightenment, he has started to keep an eye on him. As for Uncle Maori and Xiaolan being fooled, he said that this was a routine operation.

Seeing that there was no way to catch him directly, Hua Lantian was not in a hurry. He let go of his hand and camera, shrugged his shoulders, and then silently retreated to the back. He planned to wait for Officer Yokogawa to come and bring people, and then go up. If nothing unexpected happened, Officer Yokogawa would be here soon.

Sure enough, Nobuichi Sai continued to talk about his glorious history with Xiaolan and Kogoro Mouri, and then asked Xiaolan to take a few more photos of her. While taking the photos, a person suddenly appeared behind him.
