"If that's the case." Okiya Subaru thought, "Could the note be stuck in a book that you normally don't read, ma'am?"

"It's very likely." She put her hand on her chin. "If there's one book I won't read, it's a mystery novel where someone dies."

"There are also horror novels."

Baijiu quickly discovered that type of books and raised his hand high: "The books that Madam mentioned should all be sorted on that side of the bookcase."

"Okay!" Mao Li rolled up his sleeves: "Then let's start reading these books!!"

“Cough cough cough cough!!!” Maori coughed violently, as if he was about to die: “Uh… cough cough cough!”

Xiaolan looked at Maori with a worried look on her face: "Before looking for a book, shouldn't you go to the bathroom and take the cough medicine prescribed by the hospital?"

"Got it!" Maori waved his hands proudly, put his hands in his pockets and walked forward, saying stubbornly: "Actually, I'm not that serious..."

Huiyuan said coldly: "If you want to take medicine, the beverage vending machine in this place is in the lobby."

"Okay, okay, little one." Maori glanced at Haibara with disdain.

"Wait a minute! I want to go to the bathroom too." Dr. Agasa staggered forward.

"I'm going too!!" Like a Russian doll, Conan followed.

After a while.

Jirokichi followed Baijiu's advice and put up a sign.

"Challenge the Trap Box!!"

"This is Mimizu Kichiemon, a master engineer from the late shogunate period."

"Whoever can open the box within five minutes will receive a prize of 100 million yen."

"Be careful, the mechanism inside the box may hurt you. Do not take the mechanism box away."

"————Suzuki Jirokichi."

“Ahhh!! It hurts so much!!”

“It hurts so much!!!”

"It stabbed me to death!!!"

Those who came to try it covered their wounds and fled. Despite this, there was still a steady stream of people coming to try the waters.

"Conan! So you are here." Dr. Agasa greeted him.

Conan complained helplessly: "Why did you take so long to go to the toilet......"

Dr. Agasa covered his stomach with a worried look on his face: "My stomach has been feeling uncomfortable since a while ago."

He looked down at his round belly: "Maybe I got infected with Maori's cold." Agasa changed the subject: "By the way, where is Maori?"

"I remember he came out of the toilet earlier than me..."

Conan sighed and pointed in the direction of the trap box: "Doctor, look, he's going to challenge the trap box again."

Baijiu complained: "You are so persistent..."

Maori first drank the mineral water in the bottle in big gulps, held it in his mouth, held the box in both hands, and stared at it carefully.

Suddenly, he jumped backwards quickly with great agility.

With the speed of lightning and thunder.

With a sound of “Bang!!!”

After a series of seemingly smooth and fluent movements, Maori was still trapped in the cage.

"Puff!!!" The saliva in his mouth spurted out, and Maori took a deep breath: "I didn't expect this iron cage to move!!"

Baijiu held the remote for Jirokichi and raised the cage, "Of course, Master."

"The sensor can accurately capture moving objects that might otherwise hit and injure people."

The old woman heard the loud noise and ran over here in a hurry: "What happened? Why is it so noisy?"

Baijiu's high EQ solution: "The master is playing a prank."

"No! No!" Mao Li hurriedly defended himself with a better excuse: "I just wanted to confirm whether the anti-theft device is working properly."

"Oh my!!" The old woman was horrified: "Why is the mechanism box wet?"

She hurriedly took it to her bosom, pulled out her handkerchief, and carefully wiped the mechanism box, fearing that there would be a slight omission: "What if water gets in there?"

"That's not good. After all, the mechanism box is made of wood. We can't get it wet."

Baijiu looked at the old woman thoughtfully, as if he had guessed what was installed inside.

He murmured to himself, "What a pair of shy people they are."

Baijiu led everyone back to the house and asked Okiya Subaru, who was sitting on the table reading a book, "Where are Lu Xin and the others?"

"Oh, you mean the three of them." Okiya Subaru raised his glasses slightly, "Not long after you left, the three of them also went to the bathroom."

"That's too long..."

Okiya Subaru offered his opinion: "Maybe it's because there are too many people in the women's restroom?"

Baijiu asked, "So, did you find the note?"

"We haven't found it yet." Okiya Subaru and Haibara said in unison without any emotion.

"But." Okiya Subaru smiled and showed the title and cover of the book to everyone: "There are many mystery novels here that I haven't read."

“Before I knew it, I was fascinated.”

The old woman came close to Okiya Subaru and sniffed his breath: "It smells like sweet sake and soy sauce."

"Is it goulash?"

"Yes." Okiya Subaru closed the book.

Huiyuan closed his eyes and narrated coldly: "Before he came here today, he had just made a very difficult...very difficult potato stew."

"I think the soy sauce must have gotten on my cuffs."

"Can you cook?" The old woman's eyes suddenly changed.

"Well, I do know a little bit, but not as good as that handsome guy." Okiya Subaru humbly praised Baijiu.

"You two are tall, handsome and can cook. I'm sure there is no shortage of women who like you."

"But." The old woman blushed and changed the subject: "Beef stew with potatoes is my specialty."

As she spoke, she couldn't help but smile, her face full of happiness: "Because that is my husband's favorite dish."

"I asked my mother-in-law how to make this dish."

"Huh? It turns out that Mr. Subaru can cook too." Sonoko said excitedly.

"It's really a bit unexpected." Lu Xin said with a faint smile.

"Speaking of this." The old woman clasped her hands together, "My husband saw that I loved cooking, so he bought me a lot of cookbooks."

"I have read all the books about cooking carefully."

"It seems that there is no need to look up books on cooking anymore."

Lu Xin noticed something unusual: "Yuanzi, are you wearing makeup?"

Sonoko put her hands on her hips with joy: "I just put on makeup secretly in the bathroom. After all, Mr. Kidd will be here."

"I have to dress up anyway." She took out a mirror and admired her makeup beautifully.

Huiyuan was indifferent: "Even if that pretentious thief you mentioned really came here."

"It will also be impossible to steal the moonstone inside because of the anti-theft device and the trap box."

Suddenly, Baijiu and Conan felt a breath behind them at the same time.

In a trance, they seemed to hear Kidd's whisper.

It flooded their minds and they looked around.

Can’t be wrong!

He is right here!!
