Shizuka Hiratsuka doesn't understand love!

Not to mention Xiaolan, even Yukino, who has always been very cold, was staring at the cherry blossoms around her, her eyes full of appreciation and happiness.

"Sure enough, little girls all like flowers." He nodded with a smile, and seeing that Xiaolan and Yukino were immersed in the flower scenery, Shizuka Hiratsuka slowly took two steps forward, leaned against the wooden fence, and casually looked at the cherry blossoms in front of him.

"But it's really beautiful. Even I'm a little intoxicated." Shizuka Hiratsuka put out the cigarette butt on the lid of the trash can next to the observation deck and twisted her neck.

"Where did you find this great place? Brother Kogoro?" Shizuka Hiratsuka looked at Kogoro Mouri with some curiosity. Based on her understanding of him, he didn't seem like the kind of person who would know where was suitable for flower viewing.

"I've been here once before, so I remember it. It's nice, right? Although the cherry blossoms on the streets and in the parks in the city are also beautiful, these wild cherry blossoms all over the mountains are more shocking." Nodding with a smile, Kogoro Mouri looked at the scenery in front of him, a trace of reminiscence on his face.

"Oh, this is not the place you and Sister Eri have been to before, so remember it." Looking at Kogoro Mouri's somewhat strange expression, Shizuka Hiratsuka's eyes moved, and she said as if she had guessed something.

"What? Xiaojing, don't talk nonsense. Why can't I come to appreciate the flowers with others!" His old face turned red, and looking at Hiratsuka Shizuka's teasing eyes, Maori Kogoro snorted unhappily.

"It seems that you really came here with Sister Eri. Not bad, Brother Kogoro, I didn't expect you to be quite romantic in the past."

"Long-winded!"

Chapter 226: Do all people with the surname Maori like to get lost?

"Speaking of which, Kogoro-ni, I've always felt that the reason you and Eri-ni were separated was too casual."

After glancing at the three little ones gathered behind her discussing cherry blossoms, Shizuka Hiratsuka turned her head lazily.

"Hmph, that's..." With a cold snort, Kogoro Mouri, who never wanted to lose face, was just about to make a few sarcastic remarks.

"Okay, okay, save those tough words for others. Don't I know you two well enough?" Shizuka Hiratsuka scratched her hair, looking at Kogoro Mouri with disdain.

Although Kogoro Mori and Eri Kisaki first met through Yukiko, they have become very close after so many years of friendship.

"I'm too lazy to ask what exactly happened. Anyway, you and Sister Eri won't tell the truth." Shizuka Hiratsuka took out a cigarette from her arms, lit one for herself, and threw it to Kogoro Mouri beside her.

"What I'm concerned about is when you two are going to reconcile. You're both obviously concerned about each other, but you're both forcing yourself to do it. Aren't you tired? It makes me sad to see you like that."

"Also, Xiaolan is not young anymore. Once she goes to college, she might spend even less time at home. If you don't cherish the little time you have left as a family of three, you'll regret it later."

"I don't need a lesson from you, an unmarried girl." After glaring at Shizuka Hiratsuka unhappily, Kogoro Mouri also lit a cigarette.

"Do you think I want to control you? I just feel sorry for Xiaolan. She's tired enough going to school every day, and now she has to take care of such an annoying father like you." Without giving any face to Mouri Kogoro, Shizuka Hiratsuka complained bluntly.

"Tsk, I get it. Talk less, look at the flowers, look at the flowers, cultivate yourself, maybe you can get married in the future." Waving his hand impatiently, Kogoro Mouri changed the subject as usual.

"Hehe, you just keep talking tough." Looking at Kogoro Mouri who turned his head away, Shizuka Hiratsuka shook her head with amusement.

He had been trying every possible way to ask me about Hime Eri's news and life, but now he felt embarrassed to bring the matter to light.

Oh man.

However, when she thought of her other sister Eri, Shizuka Hiratsuka couldn't help but twitch the corners of her mouth.

It seems that the other barrister is not much better than Kogoro Mouri.

Are you embarrassed to talk too much with your daughter, and end up both of them pushing everything onto you?

Hey, woman.

"Brother Kogoro, you and Sister Eri are worthy of being husband and wife." With an inexplicably emotional tone, Shizuka Hiratsuka spoke slowly in the face of Kogoro Mouri's strange expression.

"Aunt Jing, Dad, come over and take pictures! The scenery here is so beautiful."

"Sister Jing, come here." Maybe because the surrounding scenery was too beautiful, Yukino was a little excited at the moment, and her tone when calling Hiratsuka Jing was unusually excited.

"Okay, let's take a picture." Shizuka Hiratsuka smiled, put out the cigarette and threw it into the trash can, then walked to the three little ones.

"I didn't expect that a little boy like you, Conan, would be so interested in flowers." Shizuka Hiratsuka rubbed Conan's head and spoke teasingly.

"Well, very beautiful!" Conan muttered to himself, forcing a smile on his face.

He really wasn't interested in flowers, but how could he dare say it out loud? Didn't he see that Xiaolan beside him was smiling so hard that her mouth couldn't close? Even the always cold Yukino looked very happy.

He is a famous detective with high emotional intelligence, and he would never say such disgusting words.

"Dad, you are here too. Let's set a time for taking pictures in the car." Xiaolan, who was obviously happy, called Maori Kogoro to come over. It was better to take the first photo of everyone together when they went out to play.

Afterwards, I'll take separate photos with Aunt Shizuka, Yukino, and Conan. Just thinking about it makes me happy! ~

. . .

"So, I shouldn't have believed you before!" Shizuka Hiratsuka scratched her head with a headache. Because the environment in the car was too small, she barely resisted the urge to light a cigarette to calm down.

"Why don't you just drive along the same route you came? Why do you want to take a shortcut? Now you know what's going on." After getting out of the car, Shizuka Hiratsuka looked at Kogoro Mouri who was squatting down to check the car.

"I didn't expect to get lost." Scratching his hair in embarrassment, Kogoro Mouri's eyes flickered and he didn't dare to look at Shizuka Hiratsuka.

"How's the car?"

"It's okay. The off-road vehicle has a high chassis. There was no problem on the previous mountain road. It was dark and I couldn't see clearly, so I hit a tree trunk and made such a noise." Maori Kogoro, who had already checked it once, said with certainty while secretly sobering up in his heart. Fortunately, it was Shizuka Hiratsuka who drove here today, otherwise, according to the car he originally planned to rent, it would have suffered a heavy loss on this mountain road.

"But where are we going if we drive further up this mountain road?" Standing at the front of the car with her hands on her hips, Shizuka Hiratsuka looked at the mountain road ahead with some confusion.

"Sister Jing, your cell phone should have a signal. Turn on the location and take a look." After getting out of the car together, Yukino stood beside Shizuka Hiratsuka and said softly.

"It's already dark. I checked the weather forecast during the day and it looks like it's going to rain in this area tonight. If that's the case, driving on the mountain road at night is really too dangerous."

"That's true." Nodding in agreement, Shizuka Hiratsuka decisively took out her mobile phone, wanting to see where the road ahead was going.

"Uh, this road looks so far away." He blinked with a headache. The mountain road he was on was not shown on the map at all. Just looking at the terrain, he was still quite a distance away from the main road ahead.

"Ah, has it started raining?" Xiaolan, who had also gotten off the car, felt something hit her head. She raised her head in surprise and found that drops of rain were falling on her face.

"This is really difficult." Mountain roads are difficult to drive on, and it's raining now. Even though Shizuka Hiratsuka is confident in her driving skills, she doesn't want to take the risk with so many people.

"Aunt Jing, Uncle, it looks like there are people living over there. Otherwise, why don't we go there and stay there for one night?" Just as everyone was struggling, Conan came out from the bushes nearby and pointed in the direction of the woods.

"Is there a house?" Attracted by Conan's words, everyone walked towards the place Conan said curiously.

"It looks like a temple. It looks quite big." After walking a few steps, everyone saw the temple built on the mountain, which was hidden by the woods.

"Let's go and take a look. It's such a big temple, it would be very convenient for a group of us to stay there."

"Ah."

Chapter 227 I will definitely be scared!

"Shan Ni Temple, it's really strange. Why would a temple be built in such a remote place?"

In the not-too-heavy rain, Shizuka Hiratsuka and the others quickly reached the main gate of the temple along the mountain road.

Looking at the old plaque above her head, Shizuka Hiratsuka felt a little curious.

"Who knows, maybe it's the host's hobby." Maori Kogoro shrugged indifferently. He was not interested in the temple itself. He was just glad that he had a place to rest well tonight.

Of course, it would be even better if we could have a hot meal.

"That's right, let's go in and have a look."

Shizuka Hiratsuka easily opened the wooden door and led everyone into the hallway.

"Is anyone there?" Looking at the quiet corridor, Shizuka Hiratsuka raised her voice slightly.

"Who are you?" Just as Shizuka Hiratsuka was about to shout again, an old voice sounded from behind them.

"Oh, are you the monk here?" Turning around and looking at the old man wearing a straw raincoat, Shizuka Hiratsuka waved her hand.

"I'm asking, what are you doing here?" The old man didn't answer Hiratsuka Shizuka's words, and his expression was very bad.

"I think you must be from the newspaper and TV station, right? Get out of here! This isn't a place for you worldly people!"

"Ah, we are not." Stunned by the old man's sudden retort, Kogoro Mouri, who was standing next to the old man, waved his hand awkwardly.

"We are tourists here. It's raining in the mountains and it's inconvenient to drive, so we want to stay here for one night."

"What? So you're here to stay overnight." After hearing what Kogoro Mouri said, the old man's expression instantly became enthusiastic, and he rubbed his hands gently in front of him.

"If you want to stay overnight, just tell me earlier."

"Sister Jing, I feel that this old man is more like a businessman than a monk." After seeing the old man enthusiastically telling Kogoro Mouri about the cost of his family's accommodation, Yukino said to Shizuka Hiratsuka beside her with a somewhat subtle expression.

"Ah, I also have the feeling of being treated in a hotel, but don't most monks in Japan treat this as a job? It's almost the same." Shizuka Hiratsuka shrugged indifferently. As long as she could avoid walking on the mountain road on a rainy night, she didn't care much about the price.

"I'm not trying to scare you. You'd better stay here." It seemed that the old man didn't want to bargain with Kogoro Mouri. He stood on the floor, walked past the crowd, turned his head slightly, and spoke slowly with a strange smile on his face.

"On a rainy night like this, that guy might be secretly watching you somewhere."

"Eh? Are there bears here?" Xiaolan looked a little nervous. She couldn't stand hearing weird talk like that.

"Bear? It's not such a cute creature." The old man turned his body completely, and his smile became even weirder, as if he was very satisfied with the expressions of Xiaolan and Maori Kogoro.

"An ancient monster that loves rain and darkness and specializes in eating human souls."

"It's Mist Tengu!"

"Mist Tengu?!" He looked a little nervous. Meeting an old man who looked scary and told you the ghost legend of Japan in such a deep forest didn't feel so good for Xiaolan and Maori Kogoro.

"Ah, this is not something you should say here. You'd better forget it." As if he had completed a proud performance, the old man covered his mouth and said with a smile.

"Pfft~"

"Huh?" The sudden laughter caught everyone's attention.

Looking at everyone's gazes, Shizuka Hiratsuka smiled and waved her hand.

"It's okay, I just couldn't help laughing."

"Oh, it seems that this lady doesn't believe what I said." With his eyes slightly narrowed, the old man looked at Shizuka Hiratsuka with a smile.

"Oh, it's okay. I just think that you, old lady, have a talent for storytelling." Shizuka Hiratsuka said in a relaxed tone, smiling and shaking her head.

"Just treat Mist Tengu and the like as a story. If he really existed, I'd be curious about how he'd feel in combat."

After hearing what Shizuka Hiratsuka said, Conan couldn't help but turn his head and smile.

"As expected of Aunt Jing, she always tries things first to see how they're done. The old man couldn't hold back his laughter."

Fortunately, the sound of running footsteps eased the old monk's embarrassment.

After a brief introduction, the old monk named Tenyong arranged for people to prepare meals, and then asked the other two monks to take Kogoro Mori, Shizuka Hiratsuka and others on a casual tour.

. . .

"Huh~ It's been a tiring day, even though the cherry blossoms are pretty." After making the bed on the tatami, Shizuka Hiratsuka lay on her side, fiddling with her cell phone.

"Yeah." She responded softly, but Yukino was standing by the window of the room, as if looking at something outside.

"What's wrong, Yukino?" Seeing Yukino, Shizuka Hiratsuka also came over.

"It's nothing, Sister Jing, I'm just a little uneasy." Shaking her head slightly, Yukino hesitated for a moment but still did not tell Hiratsuka Shizuka what she was looking for.

"Oh, I see." Looking at Yukino strangely, Shizuka Hiratsuka seemed to have thought of something and shook her head with a smile.

"Yukino, you're not like Xiaolan, are you scared because of what the host said?"

"Ah, I didn't, Sister Jing." Yukino didn't expect that her actions would be misunderstood by Hiratsuka Shizuka. She quickly explained, but she felt that she was right and Hiratsuka Shizuka no longer believed her.

"Okay." Shizuka Hiratsuka bent down with a smile and pulled Yukino's bed together with hers.

"Let's stay closer at night, so you won't be scared, right, Yukino? Otherwise, just go share a room with Xiaolan and the others. It'll be safer with more people."

"No, no need, this is fine." She shook her head quickly. If she had the intention to defend herself at the beginning, after seeing Shizuka Hiratsuka put the beds together, Yukino had given up the idea.

It's just that Shizuka Hiratsuka misunderstood that I was afraid of monsters or something. Compared to being able to sleep with Shizuka Hiratsuka, this is nothing!

"Well, let's go to bed early so we can go back tomorrow."

"Yeah." She nodded obediently, and Yukino got into the quilt very quickly.

"I need to calm down. This isn't the first time I'm sleeping with Sister Jing, so I shouldn't do anything weird." Seeing Shizuka Hiratsuka slowly lying down beside her, Yukino, who could already smell her scent, blushed a little and couldn't help but cover her nose with the cup.

Looking at Yukino's performance, Hiratsuka Shizuka smiled and nodded.

Sure enough, my judgment was correct. Yukino was just afraid, but she was too embarrassed to say it out loud.

"I need to be calm, just like usual, and stay cool..."

"Yukino, if you're scared at night, you can come and hold me while you sleep~"

"Yes! I would be scared!"

"Ok?"
