The world of science is unscientific

Since Kogoro Mouri had already opened the tennis court door, Sonoko Suzuki simply went up and greeted Ran Mouri.

He's a handsome guy, but he's already married.

Sonoko Suzuki immediately lost interest in it.

After a brief chat, seeing that the other party still intended to strike up a conversation, Kogoro Mouri suddenly fell ill and began coughing violently, urging Ran and the other woman to leave quickly.

An hour later, the master and apprentice sat by the river and began fishing.

"Come a little over here."

Yusuke Suzuki gestured to Conan, who was holding an umbrella for him, to be more careful. Didn't he see that Conan's shoulders were getting wet?

"Yes......"

"I think I'll do it," Ran Mouri took the umbrella from Conan and squatted down beside him. "Conan, be careful not to get wet in the rain."

Seeing this, Suzuki Yusuke stopped teasing Conan and began to focus on fishing.

Since we're already here, we should at least take a couple of fish back with us.

After a while, Conan suddenly looked down and said, "I feel like the water level in the river has suddenly risen sharply."

“Hmm,” Yusuke Suzuki nodded in agreement, “The current is too strong, teacher. Let’s go, or we might get stuck.”

Kogoro Mori thought it made sense and was about to reel in his line when the fishing rod suddenly started shaking violently.

"Wait a minute! A big shipment is coming!"

He excitedly got up and began to fight the big fish.

However, everyone was stunned the next moment.

What was hanging on the fishing hook was actually a car.

"This...is this the car I rented!?"

Kogoro Mori held on tightly to the fishing rod, trying to fish the car up.

This is absolutely outrageous!

Yusuke Suzuki never expected the car to malfunction in this way; he had thought he had finally escaped the law's punishment this time.

Still careless.

He rushed forward to help grab the fishing rod, shouting, "Teacher, pull hard, teacher!"

Concerned for their safety, Ran Mouri and Sonoko Suzuki quickly stepped forward to stop them.

With a 'snap' sound.

The fishing line broke.

The car sank completely and was swept away by the current.

The two people holding the fishing rods didn't have time to pull back and fell backward together. Ran Mouri, who was behind them, was knocked into the river by Conan's buttocks.

Fortunately, Yusuke Suzuki reacted quickly and reached out to pull Xiao Ke back.

The whole process was too fast; Conan only went into the river to wash his face, and his clothes didn't even get wet.

His glasses seemed to be permanently attached to his face and never fell off.

Ran Mouri quickly used her clothes to wipe Conan's face, asking worriedly, "Are you alright, Conan?"

"Well, thankfully Yusuke-nii stopped me."

Thinking about this, Ran Mouri got angry and turned around to yell, "Dad! Why are you holding onto the fishing rod so tightly?! It's dangerous!"

The clueless detective, however, looked dazed and dejected, muttering words like "car," "finally," and "where to rent next time."

Now Suzuki Yusuke was relieved. He had been thinking how strong the bumbling detective was, able to fish a car with his bare hands, but it turned out he had unleashed some hidden potential...

Just like life, no matter how disappointed you are, you have to keep going.

Kogoro Mouri wasn't one to give up easily, and he recovered quickly.

At Yusuke Suzuki's strong suggestion, the bumbling detective didn't bring those troublesome fishing gear.

After walking along the path through the woods for a while, the rain gradually subsided, and with the canopy providing shade, they no longer needed umbrellas.

"What should we do next?" Sonoko Suzuki hadn't expected things to turn out this way, and her face was full of worry. "Our luggage was washed away along with the car."

More importantly.

Wasn't the main purpose of this trip to help Yu-suke relieve his stress and ease his mood?

Now that things are like this, you're probably feeling even worse!

"My phone has no signal, teacher. Which way should we go next?"

Yusuke Suzuki himself didn't think too much about it. He wouldn't be surprised if he encountered any strange things while following Kogoro Mouri and his group.

Upon hearing this, Kogoro Mouri's expression turned ugly. "This... I don't know either."

"What!?"

Sonoko Suzuki's eyes widened as she questioned the bumbling detective, "You're the one who brought us here! Don't you even know where we're going?"

"Well... um... anyway, it's just... going with the flow..."

"Seriously, what do we do now?!"

Upon hearing this, Yusuke Suzuki simply lay down, having forgotten the way when he arrived.

After a short rest, he suggested that Kogoro Mouri choose to continue following his instincts.

After all, this way there's a high probability of finding a household to start the case.

He was starving.

He didn't bring any clothes with him this time; he only bought some food after leaving the apartment, and now he's eloped with it all in the car.

After walking for a while, Kogoro Mouri became a little unsure of himself. "Yusuke, do you really think we'll find our way out if we keep going like this?"

"It's okay, teacher, I believe in you!"

The next moment, Suzuki Yusuke noticed a faint light out of the corner of his eye.

"Teacher, wait a minute, there's light over there."

Everyone stopped and turned their heads, then spoke in unison.

"Where is the light? Yusuke-nii (Yusuke), are you hallucinating?"

"Just come with me."

Yusuke Suzuki, too lazy to explain, stepped forward and led the way.

A few minutes later, a brightly lit house appeared in front of everyone, nestled deep in the mountains.

The two girls couldn't help but hug each other.

"How could anyone live so deep in the mountains...?"

"It's...it's a mountain demoness! It must be a mountain demoness!"

Yusuke Suzuki glanced back, somewhat speechless. "Can't people even live in seclusion?"

The bumbling detective ignored the two women and called out, "Yusuke, let's go take a look. For now, we can only go and bother that family."

As expected, the person living in this house was indeed the one they had met at the tennis court before, named Hiroo Akashi.

The house also contained his elderly father, whose hunched back and age spots made the old man's face appear somewhat frightening.

Upon entering the house and learning of their bizarre encounter, Hiroo Akashi couldn't help but laugh out loud. He looked at Conan and said, "This kid is really lucky not to have fallen into the river."

Ran Mouri sighed, "This is no joke."

"Sorry, sorry," Hiroo Akashi turned Conan's head, "Open your mouth so I can see. You were coughing just now, weren't you?"

"Um, cough cough... Ah~~~" Conan's mouth dropped open.

“Your throat is red and swollen, and your voice is starting to get hoarse,” Hiroo Akashi said as he looked at the screen. “I advise you not to speak, or it could easily turn into acute pharyngitis.”

Yusuke Suzuki couldn't help but shake his head.

Do you want Conan to shut up?

That's simply impossible.

Chapter 340: Mountain Village Exercise, Part 1

Seeing that everyone was dragging their feet and not getting to the point, Yusuke Suzuki had no choice but to speak up himself.

He twitched his nose dramatically. "This smells like curry, doesn't it?"

Hiroo Akashi nodded. "Yes, it's leftovers from last night. If you don't mind, would you like to have some with us?"

"Then it's better to be respectful than to obey."

Soon, a plate of curry rice was placed in front of Yusuke Suzuki.

He picked up a spoon and took a bite. It tasted great; it was the spicy flavor he liked.

Sitting across from him, Kogoro Mouri exclaimed, "This is delicious! It's restaurant quality!"

Everyone was busy cooking, except for Conan who just watched from the sidelines.

This kid can't eat spicy food now.

Ran Mouri then borrowed the kitchen to make Conan a bowl of fried rice with eggs.

After tasting the curry rice, she couldn't help but exclaim, "Your wife is a great cook!"

“I was the one who cooked this curry,” Hiroo Akashi said with a hint of melancholy in his eyes. “My wife passed away from illness three years ago today.”

Yes, we have a motivation.

After finishing a plate of rice, Yusuke Suzuki got up to get more, while continuing to listen to the conversation between Hiroo Akashi and Ran Mouri.

The other person's words were filled with longing for his deceased wife.

After saying that, he picked up the tray and left. "Alright, I'm taking this plate of curry rice upstairs to my dad. You can help yourselves."

This trip took forty minutes.
