Conan reborn as a detective

Chapter 675
"Cuckoo!"

Strange bird calls sounded from time to time in the dark forest, and the timid Mitsuhiko tightened his backpack, swallowed his saliva, and followed Gao Cheng into the house.

The old man's name is Tanaka Ihejiang, and he is over 70 years old. At first glance, he looks scary, but after entering the house, he looks ordinary.

"Does the old lady live alone?" Gao Cheng noticed a pair of slippers placed alone in the entrance, which seemed to be unused, and he didn't know why they put them there.

"Yeah, I'm the only one in the family, and everyone nearby has moved to the town." The old man turned his head and glanced at the slippers, "This is the one who left this family 10 years ago after blankly saying that he wanted to be a chef... ...My grandson Shota's slippers, he just took them off here at that time, and has not moved...there are still slippers in the shoe cabinet, you can wear the inside."

"Your grandson..."

The wooden floor of the living room looks quite old, there is a charcoal pit in the middle, and there is a goldfish tank in it.

Gao Cheng put down his luggage, put on slippers from the shoe cabinet next to him, and followed the old man, just in time to see the photo frame on the table, in which was a group photo of a young man and the old man, it seemed to be very early, and the old man was still quite kind.

"He seems to be doing well now, sending a lot of money every month," the old man snorted when he saw the photo frame, "But I haven't moved a single cent of this kind of unreliable lover's money..."

"Yes, is it..."

Gao Cheng secretly wiped his sweat.

Since you hate your grandson, will you still keep taking photos?And the slippers in the entrance have been kept all the time, I must miss my grandson very much...

That's fine, as long as the old man is alone at home, you don't have to worry about what happened. Get a good night's sleep and find a way to leave tomorrow...

"Okay," the old man interrupted his thoughts, "put your luggage on the side and sit for a while, I'll go and prepare a room for you... Maybe there are not enough quilts..."

"It's okay, we brought our own quilts for camping." Gao Cheng looked away from the photo frame, "Grandma, can I borrow the phone?"

"Use it if you want." The old man kept a straight face, but he was very nice. "But then again, why do you guys go camping in the mountains with your kids? What about the adults?"

"Ah?" Gao Cheng said awkwardly, "I am an adult..."

"Brother Chenghu," Yuantai rubbed his stomach bitterly, "I'm so hungry now..."

"Got it," Gao Cheng said helplessly, "I'll bring the ingredients later, this time I brought a lot of ingredients for cooking curry."

The old man glanced at Gao Cheng unexpectedly: "It's really incredible. My grandson is about the same age as 10 years ago, but he is much more sensible than him before. It's hard to take care of so many children, right?"

"Uh, it's okay..."

The corner of Gao Cheng's mouth twitched. The old man lived alone in this kind of place, so it was impossible for him to know him.

"There are goldfish here!" Ayumi and the others jumped in front of the goldfish bowl, curiously watching the goldfish swimming around.

"These goldfish are so big..."

Yuan Tai drooled: "Isn't it delicious after being fattened?"

"Why do you eat and drink all day long, Yuantai, this is for watching!"

"This is also my grandson's, who has lived for 10 years," the old man said, "I leave such troublesome things to me..."

Gao Cheng had no interest in goldfish. After calling the car company, he went back to the entrance to change his shoes. There were tools in the bag, but all the ingredients were in the car.

Speaking of which, there is always nothing good about renting a car every time you go out.

Fortunately, it was just a flat tire this time, just change the tire, the loss is not big, unlike the unlucky uncle, who exploded and was washed away by the flood.

"Sorry," the two men and a woman outside the porch were stunned when Gao Cheng opened the door. The young man wearing a knitted hat first reacted and looked into the house and asked, "Is anyone here? We want to stay overnight ..."

"Who are you?" Gao Cheng looked at several people in doubt.

"What can you do with me?" The old man came out, "I haven't seen you..."

"We originally went to this mountain for forest bathing, but not only got lost, but also the car ran out of gas..."

The young man in the knitted hat asked: "Can you let us bother you for one night, we are definitely not suspicious people..."

"Hmph!" The old man returned to the house and said, "I will let you stay here tonight, but only this time!"

"What?" the young woman said unhappily, "even if I begged to live in this kind of place, I wouldn't live in it!"

"Forget it, it's bad for the old lady to be angry..."

"Really, it's not all because of Feng Ya who lost his way!"

"I'm sorry, miss..."

Gao Cheng didn't stop at the door, but just looked at the few young people who came suddenly, and went back to the car silently to get the ingredients.

There are dark clouds floating in the sky, I don't know what the weather will be like tomorrow, if it keeps raining, the camping plan will probably be ruined...

"Are you worried?" Xiao Ai came from behind.

"Huh? Kind of..."

Gao Cheng was stunned when he saw Xiao Ai, then continued to open the trunk and took out the handbag containing the ingredients.

Conan's world can encounter cases wherever he goes, he is used to it, but as long as he is a normal person, he doesn't like this kind of life.

"Every time I take them out, there is nothing good." Gao Chengyuan returned.

Xiao Ai followed Gao Cheng: "Those people are just staying overnight, they lost their way just like us..."

"At least the young man in the hat should know the old lady, it doesn't seem like he came here by chance..."

Gao Cheng touched his chin.

"The grandson hasn't come home for 10 years, but he keeps sending money... Could it be related to this?"

"It's possible." Xiao Ai raised her eyebrows slightly, "It seems that there is a young lady and two cowherds. It's normal to be embarrassed to go home because of being a cowherd... Maybe that's the way men are?"

"Please, how do you know that others are cowherds?"

In the lobby of the wooden house, two youths were already sitting around the dining table with Conan and several children, enjoying snacks and tea.

"Cowherd? You two are cowherds?!" Gao Cheng looked at the two youths in surprise when he heard the conversation of several people.

Speaking of which, these two people are indeed very handsome, one is a handsome man with long hair, and the other is a yuppie man with a beard...

Xiao Ai really guessed right.

"That's right," the young man in the knitted hat said with a wry smile, "I'm the No. [-] sign in the shop, Kahara Fuga, and this one is the number one Andalai."

The temperamental man drank a cup of tea: "Our patron is Miss..."

"The two of them should thank me well, little handsome guy," the eldest lady's temperamental woman said happily, "How is it? Are you interested?"

"I'll forget it..." Gao Cheng Na Na smiled.

What a joke, he would be dead laughing if he became a detective as a cowherd.

"It's such a pity," the woman felt rather sorry, and turned to look at the goldfish bowl next to her. "Come and see, the goldfish here are super cute!"

"That one is jade mackerel," Huameinan explained, "that is, the body is like a gold mackerel, and the tail fin is like a mackerel. Among the 12, only this one is a very rare species."

"That's amazing, Fengya, you know a lot!"

"Because I have raised goldfish before..."

"Really?" The temperamental man looked at the fish tank and smiled, "I don't know goldfish well, but I know more about stones. The transparent one on the right is quartz, the one with spots in the middle is mica, and the one with black luster in front of the left is Obsidian was often used in the Jomon period, right?"

The old woman walked out from the room with her hands behind her back, looked at the young people silently, and turned to Gao Cheng who was carrying the package.

"Have the materials been brought?"

"Ah," Gao Cheng recovered, "Old lady, where is the kitchen?"

"There's no need for you, a child, to do it. If it's just curry, I can cook it. I used to cook it for my grandson..."
