Conan's Almighty Extraction

Facing the stranger with a sharp weapon, Bai Yanzhenyu moved and stood in front of others, guarding against this explanation: "Old man, we are just tourists, and we heard that this is the habitat of red-crowned cranes, so we came here to enjoy the red-crowned cranes. "

"Oh, that's it. I thought you were here to steal the cranes. I'm so sorry. By the way, I'm Machida, who is in charge of taking care of the red-crowned cranes."

Seeing that there were young girls like Xiaolan and children like Conan among the crowd, the old man named Machida felt relieved, put away the crossbow in his hand, and welcomed everyone.

After resolving the misunderstanding, Xiaolan continued to watch the red-crowned cranes here, and asked old man Machida a lot about the red-crowned cranes.

Uncle Machida saw that Xiaolan really liked the red-crowned crane, so he naturally answered Xiaolan's questions without reservation, and told her some interesting stories about the red-crowned cranes.

At noon, Shiraiwa Maha took out the ingredients prepared in advance and a barbecue grill, and made an outdoor barbecue feast. Everyone ate deliciously, especially the old man Machida who ate Shiraiwa Maha's cuisine for the first time. Shiraiwa Maha's cooking skills are full of praise.

After lunch, Mr. Machida took Ran and Conan to feed the red-crowned cranes, while Shiraiwa Maha and Mori Kogoro sat in front of the wooden house, drinking tea and chatting leisurely.

In the evening, when Shiraiwa Maha and others were about to leave here, the old man Machida warmly invited: "Xiaolan and Conan helped me a lot today, and the red-crowned cranes are also very happy. If you don't mind, everyone Just stay at my house, it can be regarded as a little return gift from me."

"If you return the gift, it will be free. Hehe, then I will bother you."

In order to save one night's accommodation expenses, Mori Kogoro, who was bored at first, never mentioned the matter of leaving again, and readily accepted the invitation of old man Machida.

Under the leadership of old man Machida, the people went to build a house not too far from the red-crowned crane habitat.

Uncle Machida’s house is quite simple, except for ordinary furniture, there are only some decorations related to red-crowned cranes, the most striking of which is a vivid specimen of red-crowned cranes.

"Wow, what a beautiful red-crowned crane specimen."

Xiaolan exclaimed, and went up to watch it with Conan, admiring: "This specimen looks like it's alive."

"Haha, thanks for the compliment."

After hearing Xiaolan's praise, old man Machida laughed and explained: "There are a lot of red-crowned cranes living here, and some of them will die due to injury or illness. When I pick up dead red-crowned cranes, I will make them into specimens. Donate to schools or museums, so that more people can appreciate red-crowned cranes."

"Hehe, all guests, welcome!"

As soon as the voice fell, a tall and thin man dressed artistically pushed the door in with a tea tray.

After the old man Machida glanced at the tall and thin man, he introduced to everyone: "This is my younger brother, Machida Yasushi, an unknown painter."

Machida Yasu put the tea in his hand on the table, and said awkwardly: "Brother, you don't have to hurt me like this. You don't have to bring up things like not being famous."

"I'm telling the truth. I obviously lack the observation ability to be a painter, but I still have to choose this industry." Machida reprimanded his younger brother in dissatisfaction, and then introduced the identity of Shiraiwa Maha and others.

"Maori Kogoro?"

After Machida Yasumo said the name of Mori Kogoro, he said in surprise: "Are you the famous detective?"

"Ahahaha, that's right, I'm Detective Mori Kogoro, I didn't expect my name to have spread here in Hokkaido."

Mori Kogoro laughed habitually, his face was full of complacency, obviously quite satisfied with his current fame.

"By the way," Machida Yasushi patted his head, as if remembering something, pointed to a piece of glass leaning against the corner of the wall and said, "Brother, I bought the tempered glass you asked me to buy."

"Well, I see," old man Machida nodded, and said with satisfaction: "After replacing the broken glass later, you can directly enjoy the red-crowned crane from the window."

At this moment, there was the sound of a car braking outside, followed by the sound of footsteps, and two young men and women ran in from outside.

"Father, I heard that you are going to donate all your property to the village. Is this true?"

"That's right, Dad, it's not true."

This young couple, Machida Hiroshi, son of Uncle Machida, and Noriko Machida, daughter, were waiting nervously for Uncle Machida's answer.

Uncle Machida didn't give them a good look, and said seriously: "It's true, I will use this money to take care of the red-crowned cranes and all the other migratory birds that come here forever."

"what?!"

Machida Hiroshi's face turned red in an instant, and he said angrily: "Instead of taking care of those irrelevant birds, it's better to take care of your son. Could it be that in your heart, I can't even compare to birds?"

Machida Noriko was also very dissatisfied with Machida's decision, but she was not as direct as Machida Hiroshi, and begged bitterly: "Dad, my clothing store is going to close down soon, please help me."

Uncle Machida glared at the two of them angrily, and scolded very angrily: "In front of the guests, are you all finished? It's all about money."

Seeing that old man Machida was angry, Hiroshi Machida and Noriko Machida restrained themselves and stopped talking about donations for the time being.

"Ah Hao, stop!"

Machida Hiroshi felt a little cold, so he took out his lighter and prepared to light the stove for warmth. Machida Yasuo opened his mouth to stop him, but the old man Machida slapped the lighter out one step ahead of him.

Hiroshi Machida rubbed the back of his hand that was hurt, and complained slightly angrily: "Hey, Dad, why are you beating me?"

Seeing this, Machida Bao hurriedly explained: "Ah Hao, the reason why the big brother didn't let you light the fire is because some birds built their nests on the chimney last spring. Although there are no birds on it now, they should come back this year. .”

Uncle Machida's face softened a little, and he told his family: "Listen well, you are not allowed to touch the stove or anything in this house."

"Hmph, you only know about birds all day long, you'd rather take care of those birds than your children, right?"

After learning the reason why old man Machida knocked down his lighter, Machida Hao suddenly became furious, kicked the lighter that fell on the ground, and returned to his room angrily.

After Machida Hiroshi left, Machida Noriko didn't want to stay here, and found an excuse to leave the living room.

It was inconvenient for Shiraiwa Maha and the others to meddle in each other's housework, so they could only sit silently drinking tea and wait for Machida to calm down before continuing to chat about some light topics.
