Chapter 1023 Rainy Night (Please Vote and Subscribe!!!)
"gather!!!"
At 7 o'clock in the evening, a row of figures wrapped in thick raincoats stood in the rain curtain. Thick water droplets kept slapping their faces, and the ground was filled with water vapor.
The three Hirai brothers were like leaders, speaking loudly in front of the team, with sonorous and powerful tones and passionate speeches.
Carrying a waterproof bag containing a shotgun on their shoulders, this mountain patrol team had a firm belief and did not take the black bear seriously at all.
In the room, Sakaki saw this scene, put out his cigarette butt, and said to Conan and others:
"I want to go into the mountains."
"Now?"
Conan turned to look at the extremely bad weather outside, thought for a moment, nodded and said:
"Okay, I'll go with you!"
"."
Sakaki was originally going to refuse, but then he thought, if he kept Conan, wouldn't his boss be in danger? !
No, no, absolutely not!
It's more reliable to keep the Death God student around.
After finalizing the plan, Conan jumped up, put on raincoats and ran out of the house with Osaka Black Chicken. They took turns knocking on the doors of other villagers and borrowed some raincoats from them.
When Conan was borrowing a raincoat, Sakaki and Makoto took out the bedding from the cupboard, spread it on the tatami, stuffed clothes into it, and turned off the lights. It looked like they were asleep. In order to make it look real, Sakaki also specially I recorded a snoring sound and played it on a loop.
After all this, Conan and Osaka Black Chicken are back.
“They don’t even have primary school style raincoats!”
Waving his fist, Conan said angrily:
"This is discrimination! Don't children deserve to wear raincoats?!"
"You can't see a single child in the village. It's normal if you don't have one. Just make do with it."
Sakaki threw his raincoat to Conan, turned around and walked out of the room, finding Aunt Hirai:
"Auntie, it's getting late, let's rest first."
"It's late?"
Aunt Hirai glanced at the clock on the wall that had just read 7:10, with a look of astonishment on her face:
"Do people in the city go to bed so early?"
"I'm used to it. The commute to Tokyo is long, and I usually have to get up at 4 or 5 o'clock in the morning, so I feel sleepy as soon as I get there."
Sakaki covered his mouth and yawned, saying:
"Auntie, you should go to bed quickly. I don't know when the rain will stop. We have to rush back to Tokyo tomorrow."
"well."
Aunt Hirai agreed wholeheartedly. She had heard from Riho next door about the long commute in Tokyo. She sighed and mopped the floor while thinking about how tiring life was for people in the city.
Boom!
Sakaki turned to Domon Yasuki's room and told him the plan.
"You all want to go into the mountains?"
Domon Yasuki heard that Sakaki had to bring even children with him, and he immediately frowned:
"Even if it doesn't rain, it's still very dangerous in the mountains. The weather is so bad now. Why do you still want to take a child with you?"
This is all for the sake of your life safety.
If you leave Conan at home, you will be killed by him.
Only a tough person can control Conan.
Unfortunately, Sakaki considers himself to have a tough life, the kind who would have to lose two of his teeth even if death comes.
"Don't worry, that boy Conan is very naughty. As long as I keep an eye on him, there won't be any big problems."
"You are not familiar with the routes in the mountains. It is too dangerous to go in."
Tumen Yasuhui glanced out the window and saw that the mountaineering team had not set off yet. He pondered for a while and said:
"Follow me."
Confused, Sakaki followed him to a dusty room at the end of the second floor.
Tumen Yasuhui stood in front of the door for a few seconds, with his head lowered, as if in silence, then turned the handle and pushed open the door.
The room was extremely messy, the floor and mattress were covered with dust, there were several posters of celebrities from the last century on the walls, and the cabinets were filled with strange bottles and cans.
"This is Ah Qing's room. Although he moved out after he came of age and got married, this room has never been touched."
Tumen Yasuhui walked to the cabinet, pointed to a wooden box above and said:
"Help get it."
Sakaki stood on tiptoe and took out the wooden box. The dust on the surface of the box was half a centimeter thick. It was so dirty that the original appearance could not be seen at all. It was also locked with a mechanical combination lock.
This kind of lock is often seen. It is the same as the one on the checked luggage at the airport. You only need to roll the pulley and enter the correct three-digit password to open it.
"Aqing never lets anyone touch this box. No one knows the password except me."
Tumen Yasuhui gently brushed off the dust on it and grabbed the combination lock:
"The password is 327, his birthday."
Click!
If the password is entered correctly and the lock pops open, it can still be used even if it is rusty. The durability of old objects is shockingly high.
The wooden box slowly opened and was filled with sundries, including a worn-out kendama (a Japanese folk toy), colorful glass marbles, a few black-and-white photos, a thick stack of envelopes, dirty sandbags, and a fallen A wooden painted doll with a missing head.
Domon Yasuhui picked up the photo and found one that was slightly faded, but he could still identify the person on it. He took a few glances and showed a knowing smile.
There are two people in the photo. The man on the left is slightly older and looks very similar to Yasuki Domon. He is also using a cane. At first glance, he looks like a younger version.
The other boy was 12 or 3 years old, wearing a linen sweatshirt, dark skin, a straw hat, and bright eyes.
Tumen Yasuhui and the boy were arm in arm with bright smiles.
"Is he Ah Qing?"
Sakaki asked.
"Well, this was taken the day before I left."
"Where are these letters?"
"Some of them I wrote to him, and the rest I don't know."
Putting away the photos, Yasuhiro Domon rummaged through the box and found a piece of yellowed paper from the bottom. When he unfolded it, he saw that it was a hand-drawn map.
The map is drawn in great detail, from Pingjing Village to the mountains, and then to several routes into the mountains, including the terrain and locations where bears often hang out. They are all marked, but the drawing is rough and looks like a child's graffiti. It needs to be Identify carefully.
"Here you go, this is the route map into the mountain that Ah Qing drew himself."
Yasuki Domon solemnly handed the map to Sakaki Makoto with a solemn expression and a serious expression:
"An excellent hunter must know the terrain well, from mountains and rivers to flowers and trees. He knows everything. Ah Qing can do it, and you can do it too with this map."
There was a sudden pause in the voice, and Tumon Yasuhui sighed:
"This map is Ah Qing's treasure. It is his hard work. I didn't want to take it out originally, but now I can't care so much. Please find out the truth, please!"
Domon Yasuki took two steps back and bowed deeply to Sakaki Makoto.
"Please raise your head."
Sakaki stretched out his hand to help Domon Yasuki, with an unparalleled serious expression:
"Now that I have accepted the commission, I will definitely do my best."
