The Advent of the Infinite King

Xie Chen smiled helplessly, pointed at the alley and said, "Uncle Mao Li, don't you need to take back the gun that the robber who robbed the convenience store took?"

"By the way, please follow me." Only then did Kogoro Moori remember the gun.

But when they came to the alley, the pistol that the robber had dropped on the ground was gone.

"That's weird."

Mori Kogoro squatted on the ground and said, "I remember that the robber dropped his pistol here."

The policeman was surprised: "You mean it's gone?"

"Could it be that..." Maoli Kogoro frowned, and said in a deep voice, "Could it be that the pedestrians on this road took advantage of the chaos just now?"

"That's bad! I have to notify the bureau as soon as possible!"

Afterwards, the police dismissed the onlookers, and Xie Chen and the others returned to the Maori Detective Agency.

The school is on holiday today, so there is no need to go to class, and the three children didn't come to see him, so Xie Chen was so happy and relaxed.

On the other hand, Kogoro Mori has been pestered by his daughter about the trip to the hot springs. In the afternoon, he really couldn't stand Mao Lilan's stalking, so he reluctantly agreed.

In the early morning of the next day, they got on the first train bound for Hot Spring Township.

Xie Chen looked from the window of the express train, except for the grassland, it was a grassland, and there was no cloud in this day.

Because he didn't eat breakfast, after the train departed, Mao Lilan called the train bento.

"It's still delicious to eat train bento when traveling."

Xie Chen smiled and nodded, picked up a piece of fish sushi and put it in his mouth.

Mori Kogoro leaned his arm on the window sill, and sighed, "Why does my classmate have to bring the kid here, really..."

"What does it matter?" Mao Lilan said, "Didn't you take me to participate five years ago?"

"At that time, because you were still young, I couldn't leave you to participate."

"If Xie Chen hadn't saved Dad's life this time, Dad, you wouldn't be able to attend your class reunion."

Mori Kogoro twitched his lips and said, "Even without the help of this brat, I could have easily caught that guy."

Xie Chen shrugged, and suddenly asked: "By the way, have you found that missing pistol?"

"That's right." Mao Lilan also said, "The police haven't released any news either. What's going on?"

"This is..."

Mori Kogoro thought for a while, and then said: "Although the police have conducted a rigorous search, they have not found any cases of it being used for crimes, so there are no clues at all."

"Everyone calls that pistol a Smith & Wesson M439. In fact, the bank robber didn't know much about guns. Although he paid a high price for a gun, he didn't know whether it was a real gun or a toy gun. "

Mao Lilan said: "If you have a toy gun, you will be fine."

Xie Chen frowned slightly. Yesterday he noticed that the muzzle of the gun was not stuffed, and it was not damaged when it was dropped on the ground, so he thought it must be a real gun.

Sighing softly, since the police have already conducted a rigorous search, they don't need to worry about this kind of thing. After eating the bento, they picked up the secretary who left behind on the table, which is the biography of Jack London.

Xie Chen suddenly felt that compared with Jack London's magnificent life, his current life was as peaceful and ordinary as a squirrel resting its head on a walnut in a cave in a tree hole at the top, drowsily waiting for the spring to come.

At least this is the case for now, and we can talk about things in the future.

At about eight o'clock, they arrived at the Hakone Onsen Hotel in Kanagawa Prefecture. Mori Kogoro was the last of their classmates to arrive, and the others were already waiting for him in the lounge.

Mao Lilan did not follow his father to the rest room, but pulled Xie Chen to the open-air bath.

"Speaking of which, I haven't seen you for several years." Mori Kogoro changed into the dark blue loose bathrobes that the hotel prepared for guests like everyone else.

"That's right." Horikoshi Yumi said, "I haven't seen each other since the class reunion was held here five years ago."

Sitting next to Mori Kogoro, the burly man said, "That's right, it's really hard to meet graduates from the same class of Mihua University's Judo Club."

Mori Kogoro leaned on the sofa and said, "The days of hard practice are really nostalgic."

"You have the nerve to say it." The thin man sitting opposite Mori Kogoro said with a smile, "You don't have much time to practice yourself."

Sitting next to the thin man, the woman with eyes echoed him and said, "That is to say, you used to say that geniuses don't need to practice, so it's good to practice all day long, Maori."

The chubby man with wide-rimmed glasses sitting on the far left continued, "So in the end, when you fight against your friend school, you are the only one who doesn't win."

Mori Kogoro waved his hand, "My competition was because of..."

"I knew it!"

Just halfway through the conversation, Mao Lilan's voice suddenly came from behind.

"Xiao Lan..."

"It turns out that you are lying when you said that you played all the invincible players in the school in college, Dad."

"Yo." The burly man said, "It's Xiaolan, long time no see."

Horikoshi Yumi said: "Although we met yesterday, you have really grown up."

"It's okay." Mao Lilan scratched her head in embarrassment.

"Xiaolan." Mori Kogoro asked, "Where did you go just now?"

"The open-air bath."
