A Detective: I Believe in Science

Chapter 223
Under the constant chitchat, everyone gradually approached the Aoi House Hotel unknowingly, and Noah, who had excellent eyesight, could even see the signboard of the hotel.

Unexpectedly, although this hotel is located deep in the forest, it is not small in scale, and many hotel employees can be seen coming and going busy.

"It's finally here. I feel like throwing up because of the ups and downs along the way."

Picking up Huiyuan and getting out of the car, Noah couldn't help complaining that Shancuncao looked nervous along the way, and couldn't help but tap the brakes when there was a slight disturbance, which made Noah, who was not motion sick, a little sick.

"Next time, don't say anything about riding in this policeman's car."

In contrast, Conan, who was even more miserable, stopped and stopped along the way. Although Xiaolan had tried his best to protect him, he still inevitably bumped into the seat occasionally and stared at his eyes.

After seeing a group of people getting out of the car, the hotel attendant came to the crowd with a smile on his face and said that he could help them park the car.

The mountain village police officer seemed to be very familiar with this place, took out the key and handed it to the waiter skillfully, and greeted the uncle and others to enter the hotel.

"Yo, Police Officer of the Mountain Village, long time no see."

As soon as he walked into the hotel, a short, middle-aged man walked towards him and greeted Shancun Cao warmly. It seemed that the two had known each other for a long time.

"Boss Toda, I'm here to disturb you again, this time I want to consult you about something."

While greeting the short and strong man, Yamamura Cao explained the purpose of his visit, and at the same time introduced the identity of the man to the uncle. The other party was the owner of the hotel, Toda Yoshiro, who was the owner of the uncle's entrustment letter.

"Boss Toda, this is the well-known Mori Kogoro who came all the way from Tokyo after accepting your commission..."

As the client, Yoshiro Toda naturally knew the appearance of Kogoro Mori.

However, on the way here just now, the uncle's face was hit, and something happened, and now he is wearing sunglasses, so Toda Yoshiro didn't recognize him for a while.

The uncle pretended to be dignified and straightened his tie, trimmed his suit, and waited for the other party to worship him when he knew his name.

"I know, I know, you must be the assistant of the famous detective Mori Kogoro... right?"

Before Yamamura could finish talking, Toda Yoshiro spoke up first, but the other party's understanding seemed a bit crooked, and he regarded the uncle as an assistant.

"Boss Yuanshan, he..."

"You're here to find Detective Maori, he's already here."

Without giving Yamamura Cao a chance to explain, what Yoshiro Toda said next surprised everyone, and turned their eyes to the uncle.

"How is it possible, didn't the Maori detective just arrive?"

Uncle's face was uncertain, someone pretended to come here and deceived the client, so...

"May I ask if that box was taken by that Maori detective?"

"Of course, Mr. Maori came here this time without hesitation, just to crack the box. He took it to the room for research as soon as he came. He is really a trustworthy person."

Toda Yoshiro has no doubts about him, he has already regarded Noah and his party as the assistants of the famous detective Mori Kogoro, and he is not surprised that they know about the box.

And the uncle couldn't help showing a trace of anger, but it was fleeting, and then he seemed to think of something interesting, and a weird smile appeared on his face.

"Boss Toda, you made a mistake, this is the real Mori...uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu..."

The mountain village police officer tried his best to prove his identity for the uncle, but before he finished speaking, the uncle covered his mouth.

"That's right, I am Mr. Mori's helper, and my name is Echigo Koemon."

……

Everyone looked at the uncle full of doubts in their eyes, what does this mean, and why are they still playing to hide their identities.

"Haha, I guessed right, this is your room, and Mr. Maori's room is next door to yours."

A smug look appeared on Toda Yoshiro's face, excited for his correct reasoning, then he handed the key he had prepared in his hand to the uncle, and turned to do other things.

"Mr. Maori, why don't you reveal your identity and expose the true face of the person who pretended to be you."

Shancuncao, who broke free from the uncle's arms, was full of question marks, not knowing the real intention of the uncle.

"Of course it's to expose him better. Don't you think this is particularly like the plot of a TV series? When the villain plays the protagonist, the protagonist will appear at the last moment and defeat him in one fell swoop."

"And I'm the protagonist, and I'll pop in when the guy pretending to be me is reasoning, overturn his conclusions, and say the right answer."

"Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha……"

Looking at the uncle who was completely immersed in his imagination, Noah wanted to stop talking. He didn't want to interrupt the uncle's fantasy, but wanted to ask for the key. He wanted to take a rest.

……

"Officer Mountain Village, while there is still some time, would you like to go to my room for a drink?"

The uncle, who thought he had a sense of proportion, didn't keep laughing wildly, otherwise it would be boring to attract fakes.

"Is it okay, I'm still working now."

"It's okay, just drink a little. Besides, you are doing this to better integrate with the people, so it's not a violation."

Looking at the figures of the two walking away with their shoulders crossed, Noah couldn't help but lament that what the uncle said was true, and this mountain village police officer also looked a bit...

Well, it's all good.

"Miss, is this your phone?"

Just as Noah and the others were about to return to the room, the waiter came to Xiaolan with a mobile phone and asked.

"Ah, it's mine, thank you so much, I didn't even realize when it was dropped."

Faced with Xiaolan's bow and thank you, the waiter hurriedly waved his hand, saying that he should, and turned around to do his own work.

……

When Noah woke up again, the sky had already darkened, and he reached out to fumble for his mobile phone in a daze.

In the end, not only did he find the phone, but he also found a person. With the faint light of the phone, he saw Hui Yuan lying beside him sleeping with his eyes closed.

Only then did he realize that the two of them lived in the same house, not because they had no money, but because there were no vacancies.

Regardless of the remoteness of the hotel, there are quite a few tourists who come to visit the Toushen Forest, and because there are many foreign tourists, they will basically stay here for one night.

Noah didn't get up in a hurry, and lay on his side, his eyes staring at Hui Yuan's exquisite face.

I don't know when they have gotten used to being by each other's side, but they used to treat Hui Yuan more as a younger sister and had no other thoughts.

It wasn't until, as the relationship between the two heated up, that he suddenly realized that Huiyuan was not a child, but a person of the same age as him, a person who could even be said to have far more experience than him.
