Conan: I'm Not a Model Worker in the Winery

Chapter 543: Mushroom Picking Friends

"silly."

The hoarse voice seemed to awaken the memories dormant in the blood of several children in the Young Detective Team. They all shivered and turned their heads tremblingly to look at the person who got out of the left driver's seat.

Black hair, black clothes, a cold expression, a voice as rough as sandpaper, and several scars on his face - it was undoubtedly Jing himself.

"Yes, it's that fierce uncle!" Yuantai screamed.

Ayumi and Mitsuhiko also took a step back and huddled together in fear.

Not to mention the other party's cold attitude, the voice alone is scary enough...

Conan couldn't help but shudder.

Although he had expected it...but this voice was indeed creepy if he didn't hear it a few times.

After listening to it a few times, I got used to it.

Among all the people, only Dr. Agasa has never seen Kagami himself, but he has heard Conan mention his characteristics. However, hearing is worse than hearing in person...

"Genta! You can't talk to other people like that!" Dr. Agasa quickly covered Genta's mouth.

She glanced at him expressionlessly in the mirror, then picked up Hiroki, Haibara Ai, Conan, Ayumi and Mitsuhiko in order and put them in the last row, then swallowed her saliva - none of those who were picked up dared to move, and were thrown to the back row like rag dolls.

Dr. Agasa felt that according to normal etiquette, he should say something now.

So, Dr. Agasa spoke, but his voice was inexplicably unstable: "Um, you, you are Mr. Lin's friend, right? Thank you so much this time, I wonder what your name is--"

"In front of Cang Feng."

Jing replied in a hoarse and indifferent voice, put the middle seat in place, picked up Yuanta and threw him in, then looked at Dr. Agasa and said, "You two big ones sit in the middle."

Dr. A Li: "..."

Two, two big ones?

Dr. Agasa turned his head cautiously to look at Genta, who was sitting in his seat as quiet as a chicken, and then walked in quietly and sat next to him.

Well, in terms of physique, Yuantai is indeed quite big.

However, as soon as Dr. Agasa entered the carriage, he felt a little annoyed - he didn't seem to have introduced himself yet? Wasn't that a bit impolite?
"One, two, three... seven! Looks like they've all arrived~"

Lie happily stood outside the car and counted several times before finally following behind the mirror and sitting in the passenger seat.

Except for the three sentences just now, Jing didn't say a word during the whole process...

Because of his presence, the kids of the Junior Detective Team, who were originally traveling happily, felt uneasy. They were always chattering, but today they kept silent for once. Only their little eyes kept moving back and forth, trying to communicate with their friends through eye contact.

Even Conan was infected by the inexplicable atmosphere. He even forgot his original intention to sneakily ask Lie a few questions and sat upright in the back seat.

Hiroki and Huihara Ai, on the other hand, took out their computers and their homework books respectively...

Along the way, the entire carriage was very quiet - if Rei hadn't turned around from time to time to say a few words to Dr. Agasa.

"Doctor~ The destination is the Mushi Forest in Nagano, right?"

"...Oh, that's right. If we go there to pick matsutake mushrooms, they can cook them for us for free."

"Oh~ Matsutake mushrooms, this season is really suitable~ So should we go to the hotel where we are staying first?"

"At this time... I guess we can go have a meal first, or we can go to the hotel first." Dr. Agasa took out a business card from his travel bag, "The hotel is in the scenic area outside the Wood and Stone Forest, we can just go there directly... Ah, this time, I really have to trouble Mr. Lin and, and... uh, Mr. Cang Feng."

"Ah~ No trouble, no trouble~" Lie took the postcard with a smile and glanced at the address on it, "Anyway, my brother Qian and I are free anyway... Oh, by the way, I haven't introduced you yet, my brother Qian is my brother since I was a child~ I heard from my brother Qian that you have also seen Conan, right?"

There were a few "hmmmm" sounds coming from the back seat. The original members of the Junior Detective Team still looked a little reserved.

But then, their reserve gradually disappeared amidst Lie's various displays of courtesy.

"Brother Qian, do you want to drink some wine to quench your thirst?" Lie took out a can of beer.

"...Do you want to die?" Jing looked straight ahead.

Lie took out another can of Coke: "Where's the soda?"

"No."

"Coffee? Brother Qian~Would you like some coffee?"

"You keep it for yourself."

"So~suck it up?"

“…Take it.”

"How about jelly? I brought a lot of jelly~"

"You should ask the back row."

……

Nagano, a forest of wood and stone.

Because Jing was driving too fast, they arrived at the hotel before noon.

After leaving unnecessary things at the hotel, Professor Agasa took the children of the detective team to buy some dry goods and strong snacks, which were enough to meet the lunch needs of the nine of them. Then the group set off - to pick mushrooms.

The purpose of bringing dry food is to maximize profits, and we will never come out until we have collected enough Matsutake mushrooms.

Dr. Agasa also spent a lot of money on this mushroom picking trip.

After the staff in the picking area explained to them the picking rules here and the possible dangers deep in the forest, they officially embarked on their journey of picking Matsutake mushrooms.

However, since the main purpose of the outing was to take the children out, the main force of the picking was naturally the Junior Detective Team. Rei, Jing and Professor Agasa basically followed behind the group of children and chatted with them.

——Of course, mainly Rei and Dr. Agasa.

This time, Hiroki and Huiyuan Ai also actively participated in the mushroom picking session:

"Habara, I have one here."

"There are some here too...Okay, this isn't a matsutake mushroom, it's a tengu mushroom...Let me record it."

"Okay... there seem to be other types of mushrooms over there. Do you want me to pick some and take a look?"

"No, I'll go and take a look myself. I also need to record their growth environment."

Conan stood aside, watching Haibara Ai squatting on the ground with a homework book, drawing poisonous mushrooms and recording the places where they were found. He suddenly felt something was wrong - why did he feel that Haibara was out here to do practical training homework the more he looked at her?
And it seems like Hiroki is helping her with her homework...

He wanted to ask, but when Conan glanced at the mirror not far away that was staring at him, he gave up the idea for the time being and decided to ask when the other person was not around.

Haibara Ai and Hiroki are looking for various species of fungi together, Conan pretends to be doing nothing but is actually paying attention to the mirror quietly, only the Teitan Sanbao are seriously looking for the traces of Matsutake mushrooms.

However, after searching for nearly half an hour, they didn't find a single Matsutake mushroom.

Yuan Tai simply gave up and sat down on the ground to dig the soil: "What! There is no such thing as Matsutake mushrooms..."
