Conan, My Neighbor Kurosawa Jin

The scenery on the mountain is very good, with various trees growing on both sides of the road. From time to time, you can hear birds chirping and see little squirrels running past.

Imaguchi followed Takagihara Jiro and Dr. Agasa and listened to their chat, while Ayumi and the others were walking up the mountain talking and laughing, playing around and looking very lively.

"I didn't expect the road here to be so wide and flat! I thought it was going to be a mountain climb!" Mitsuhiko looked at the smooth stone cement road in front of him with some joy.

"Yes! And the scenery here looks great! I just saw a little squirrel running over!" Ayumi was also very excited. As she spoke, she kept looking around, looking for what she had just seen. The squirrel that ran past.

"Me too, I just saw a rabbit." Hui Yuan Ai nodded.

"Where is it? Why didn't I see it?" Yuantai looked around in confusion. They all saw it, but he was the only one who didn't.

"It was just now, but now it has run past. Keep your voice down, there might be others ahead." Conan said, it was so noisy now that even if there were real squirrels, they would scare them away.

"Okay!" Ayumi and the others became a little quieter after hearing this, but they still looked very happy.

"These children are quite lively. It seems that you are quite happy." Jiro Takagihara looked at the noisy children. Not only was he not bored, but there was also a hint of happiness in his eyes, and he turned his head Said Dr. A Li beside him.

People in this group get married and have children. For example, he not only has children, but also a bunch of grandchildren. But A Li has always been alone. Although A Li usually seems pretty good, old friends like them sometimes can't worry about him.

Now seeing such a group of children around him, Takagihara Jiro felt relieved.

"Hahahaha, yes! It's really fun to have them around." Dr. Ali nodded. Although he said that he didn't feel lonely before, he did seem to have a better life since having these children. A little happier.

"Is the child you mentioned before living in your house the girl who looks smart?" Takagihara Jiro looked at Haihara Ai. Haihara Ai did not notice the eyes behind him, but continued to talk to Ayumi. They talked and laughed.

"Yes." Dr. A Li looked at Haihara Ai and nodded.

"Looks pretty good. If you like it, why don't he stay with you! Anyway, his parents are usually busy, right? If he stays with you, he can be your companion. It seems that the child is also I quite like you." Takagihara Jiro suggested.

"Well, we have to see what she means." Dr. Ali looked at Haihara Ai with some hesitation. He naturally liked Xiao Ai. If Xiao Ai is willing to stay at his home, of course he will be very happy and treat Xiao Ai as his own child.

But Xiao Ai has her own things to do, and Dr. Ali doesn't know how long she will stay. Maybe next week, maybe next month, Xiao Ai may be able to develop an antidote to APTX4869.

At that time, whether she goes or stays depends on her own intention. Of course, she may also be forcefully taken back by the organization. After all, her identity has been exposed now.

"Maybe you can talk to the child and her parents, maybe she is willing." Takagihara Jiro patted Dr. Agasa on the shoulder.

"Ah."

After hearing their conversation, Imaguchi thought as he walked up the mountain.

Now it seems that Dr. A Li and Xiao Ai like each other quite a lot. If the antidote is really developed, will Xiao Ai be willing to be Miyano Shiho? Or do you want to be Haiyuan Ai?

Looking at the figure walking in front of him, I kept this question in my mind silently and planned to find an opportunity to ask Xiao Ai.

But he had already guessed the answer to the question.

If she was willing to go back, she would have gone back after Azhen discovered her true identity at first, instead of continuing to be a primary school student.

Ayumi and the others had a lot of fun jumping around on the road at first, but after they walked for a long time and still didn't see the end point, they finally stopped laughing and lost the energy to make noises.

He looked at Dr. Agasa and Takagihara Jiro dejectedly, but with a hint of expectation.

"Grandpa Hara Erlang, how long do we have until we get to the guild hall?"

"Our feet are weak from walking and we have no strength at all."

"Well, I want to drink water now." Genta swallowed, feeling that his mouth was a little dry.

"Doctor, is the guild hall far away?" Conan couldn't help but ask, and wiped the sweat from his forehead after asking.

Facing the expectant looks of several people, Takagihara Jiro looked at his current location and then looked at the time on his watch, only to realize that they had been walking for nearly an hour without realizing it.

"This should be faster. In fact, this mountain is not high, only 500m. However, the mountain road is quite winding, so when the road was built, a ring road was built. We have almost walked now, and we will walk for another ten minutes. It’ll be there in 20 minutes.”

"500m!"

"Why did it take us so long to walk 500m!"

"Yes, at this time and this length, I feel like we have walked almost ten 500m!"

Several children in the Junior Detective Team couldn't believe it. This mountain was actually only 500m high. So what happened that they had just walked so far and hadn't arrived yet?

"500m should be the distance straight up and down the mountain. If we want to climb the mountain, the distance we have to walk must be more than 500m. Even if we go up a road, it will be more than 500m." Mitsuhiko quickly reacted and explained. What's more, the road they are taking now is not a straight up and down road, but rather gentle, so they naturally have more distance to cover.

Ayumi and the others reacted quickly after finishing speaking, and now nodded after hearing Mitsuhiko's explanation.

"So that's it. Sorry, we misunderstood!" Ayumi and Genta apologized embarrassedly.

"It's okay. Originally, this road was quite long. I was supposed to drive you up. Unfortunately, there was something wrong with the car. Now I can only let you walk up." Takagihara Jiro was not angry with them, but patiently explained to them.

"That's it. No wonder this road is so smooth!"

"Yes, this road was previously accessible by car. It would be a bit difficult for me to climb up." Jiro Takagihara smiled and joked with them.

In fact, there is a shortcut on this mountain, but that shortcut is too steep and is really not suitable for old people like him to go rock climbing, so there is no choice but to take them on this long way.

"Grandpa Hara Erlang, you don't look old, you look very energetic!" Ayumi and the others said with a smile.

"Oh, then look at A Li and I, how old do you think we are?" Takagihara Jiro suddenly asked with a smile, and glanced at Dr. A Li to tell him not to remind them.

Dr. A Li only looked happy when he saw this scene and ignored their pleas for help.
