Conan: Live in the Maori Detective Agency at the beginning

"Yeah, yeah. This fried pork with peppers is also very delicious with rice." Dr. Agasa praised, even though he had eaten meals cooked by Haibara Ai several times at home.

It was the first time he saw Huiyuan Ai cook Chinese food.

"It's good, but so spicy~!" Ayumi was eating so much that she almost stuck out her tongue and fanned her little mouth with her hand.

"Yoshida-san, here's some water." Mitsuhiko handed a glass of water to Ayumi.

"Thank you." Ayumi took the water with both hands and said.

Tons tons~!

"Ha~" Ayumi took a big sip of water and instantly felt resurrected.

But he looked at the fried pork with peppers on the table and was a little hesitant, afraid of the spiciness but also wanting to eat it.

"I didn't expect that Yoshida-san couldn't handle spicy food."

"I'll bring another dish." Haibara Ai said, looking at Ayumi's hesitant expression.

"This is not a good idea." Ayumi said embarrassedly, feeling that she was bothering others.

"It's okay, just two dishes are not enough for everyone. I'll make some more." Huibara Ai waved her hand and said.

"Well, thank you." Ayumi nodded and smiled.

Soon two new dishes were served.

They are the brightly colored scrambled eggs with tomatoes and the glossy meat slices with sauce.

Everyone looked quite appetizing.

After a while, Yuantai finished a bowl of rice.

He served another bowl of rice.

Mitsuhiko next to him finished eating, put down his chopsticks and said, "I'm full."

Yuan Tai looked at the rice grains still in Mitsuhiko's bowl and said, "Hey, you didn't finish your meal."

"Oh." Mitsuhiko looked at Yuanta in a daze.

Yuanta pointed to the sky and began to educate Mitsuhiko, saying: "My mother said that if you leave any grain of rice, you will be punished by God."

"That's right!" Dr. Agasa was very satisfied with Genta's awareness.

After all, wasting food is shameful.

Their words made Xingchen, who had just wasted a lot of food, feel guilty. Was he guilty of a heinous crime?

Dr. Agasa continued, "Rice is produced by farmers who painstakingly go through eighty-eight procedures to grind it."

"Eighty-eight procedures?" Ayumi asked curiously.

"Well, if you split the rice character in the middle, it becomes eighty-eight," said Dr. Agasa.

Yuan Tai, who was not very good at learning Chinese characters, touched his head and said, "Really?"

The other two kids understood and said, "It's true."

"So the eighty-eighth birthday is also called the rice birthday. By the way, the seventy-seventh birthday is also called the happy birthday."

"And ninety-nine years old is called white longevity." Dr. Agasa explained.

Why does Xingchen feel that Dr. Agasa is holding back a big move, even though this is indeed little-known knowledge?

"Do you know why seventy-seven is also called a happy birthday?" Dr. Agasa asked.

"That's because of the cursive style of the word '囍' and the fact that it looks like seventy-seven, right?" Conan still didn't realize the seriousness of the matter.

I thought Dr. Agasa just wanted to do some popular science.

"And Bai Shou means taking one out of a hundred." Huibara Ai said after taking a sip of water.

"Of course, I'll tell you one thing the doctor didn't mention. There is another thing called tea longevity on white longevity."

"That's a polite name for a 108th birthday."

"The word 'tea' has twenty characters that add up to exactly twenty."

"Add the following characters, and you get exactly eighty-eight when you break them down. The total is one hundred and eight." Xingchen explained.

"Xiaochen is right." Dr. Agasa nodded.

"Hey, I've always felt that you three know a lot." Mitsuhiko said with a look of sudden enlightenment.

"Could it be that you three lied about your ages?" Yuan Tai teased.

"Haha." Conan thought to himself, he guessed it right.

Top-notch reasoning, it seems that Yuantai still has the potential to become a famous detective, Xingchen thought to himself.

"Okay, let you guess." Dr. Agasa said suddenly.

"That's exactly what I knew." Xingchen said in a low voice.

Haibara Ai next to her took a sip of water and glanced at Xingchen with her ice-blue pupils.

"What should you call someone on his forty-fourth birthday?" Dr. Agasa said loudly, raising his hands.

The six people looked at Dr. Agasa.

"Huh?" Xingchen thought to himself, is there such a term for forty-four years old? He has no impression of it.

"You said, forty-four years old." Mitsuhiko said.

"The hint is that this is composed of a Chinese character and three Katakana. The character for longevity can be ignored," Dr. Agasa suggested.

The three little ones began to ponder.

"Forty-four, eighty-eight, no way." Conan guessed it in a moment.

Then he squinted at Dr. Agasa and said, "Doctor, I guessed it, but it's not very nutritious."

It is even less nutritious than the previous snail.

"Really? Then Ai and Xiaochen, have you guessed it?" Dr. Agasa looked at Xingchen and Haibara Ai and said.

"..." The two of them spread their hands and shook their heads in sync.

"I can't guess either." Ayumi said with a frown.

"Me too." Yuan Tai and Guan Yan said one after another.

Dr. Agasa looked at everyone with great satisfaction, and the three looked at Dr. Agasa curiously.

He nodded and began to explain: "Okay, the answer is revealed."

"Forty-four is exactly half of eighty-eight, right? Eighty-eight is meters."

"And the English word for rice is RICE, because half is HAN RICE, half a bowl of rice!"

o_o ....x6

In an instant, the entire scene was frozen three feet thick.

Xingchen wondered who turned on the air conditioner.

So cold~!

"Hey, what's the matter? If you lick half a bowl of rice three times, it will turn into sunshine."

Dr. Agasa looked at everyone with their heads lowered, confused.

Then he sang the last part while serving his meal, and added, "I'm just kidding."

Night falls.

The moonlight made the ripples on the stream sparkle.

Xingchen stood beside the stream, the breeze slowly blowing his hair.

Watching the bright moon shining over the stream.

I just stood there in a daze, not knowing why Xingchen always felt quite comfortable.

"io, are you enjoying the scenery here?" Conan came behind Xingchen without knowing when.

"....You walk silently?" Xingchen was startled and turned to look at Conan and said.

"I'm not a ghost. You're just too obsessed with thinking about things." Conan said while looking at Xingchen with his half-moon eyes.

"I'm not thinking about anything, I just want to daydream. After all, if you think too much, you may not be able to remember anything." Xingchen shook his head helplessly and turned his gaze back to the stream.

"You're right. There's no need to think too much about it. After all, there's no rush to track them down." Conan nodded and looked towards the stream.

This stream is so beautiful, like a silver ribbon, mysterious and deep.

"It seems that someone is the most anxious one." Xingchen looked at Conan with a smile on his face.

"...No!" Conan's expression changed slightly and he retorted loudly.

"How long are you two going to talk? It's time to go to bed." Haibara Ai stood at the top of the slope with her hands on her hips, followed by a yawning Ayumi.

"Okay!" The two heard the voice, turned around to look at Haibara Ai and Ayumi, and said, and walked towards the tent.
