The world of science is unscientific

The plot is about to begin.

Yusuke Suzuki got up and led the team to set off.

With permission, the three little ones carried the net for catching insects and walked ahead.

Unsurprisingly, nothing was gained.

Why was it not unexpected?

Because Suzuki Yusuke still hasn't heard Conan explain anything.

Without prior knowledge, the three little ones are unable to find any target items; this is the "Science Law".

Along the way, Yusuke Suzuki and Professor Agasa also picked up a lot of leftover trash.

This indicates that the area is not sparsely populated, and a lot of the garbage is still 'fresh'.

Soon, Suzuki Yusuke and the others began to walk in circles, led by the three little ones.

Only the three little ones got lost, so it wasn't an emergency, but the fact that they hadn't found anything for a long time naturally made them start to complain.

Naturally, it's time for Conan's science lesson, explaining why we can't find insects and where we should look for them.

Yusuke Suzuki didn't have time to listen to this stuff. Any normal person would have been given a science lesson long ago.

He lowered his pace and moved closer to Ai Haibara.

The description is sleazy, but the behavior is very generous.

Yusuke Suzuki walked straight to his wife, then squatted down. "Did you and the Doctor prepare a surprise here?"

"So easy to find?"

Ai Haibara responded instinctively upon hearing this, but she wasn't really surprised.

"How many times have you and the Doctor exchanged glances along the way?" Suzuki Yusuke gave Haibara Ai a playful flick on the forehead. "Why didn't you tell me beforehand?"

"Because I want you to participate a little bit too."

Ai Haibara brushed her hair aside, turned her head, and smiled. "The Doctor and I prepared a puzzle. Solving the puzzle will lead us to the treasure we placed beforehand."

As she spoke, she said with a smug look on her face, "How about that? Don't the kids love treasure hunting? This time, we'll just do it for you. It'll save you a lot of trouble, and it's absolutely safe."

Has my wife been this considerate?

Yusuke Suzuki was genuinely shocked.

Ai, you know how to be considerate.

So this storyline isn't dangerous?

Yusuke Suzuki relaxed considerably and helped Ai Haibara tidy her hair. "Thank you."

"Don't come here."

Upon hearing the thanks, Ai Haibara rolled her eyes. "If you want to express your gratitude, come back and help me clean the house properly."

“No problem,” Yusuke Suzuki said without hesitation, then asked, “Which house?”

“All homes”.

After speaking, Ai Haibara put her hands behind her back and looked at the three little ones.

Right now, Professor Agasa is being besieged by the three little ones because he let slip that he had already come here yesterday.

Professor Agasa came alone to see the sky lantern festival, which also featured beautiful fireworks and floats.

The three children naturally felt dissatisfied with this situation, as if Professor Agasa had eaten alone.

Seeing this, Ai Haibara went over to help out and reminded Professor Agasa to bring out the puzzle he had prepared.

Professor Agasa gets really excited when this is mentioned.

He is the real master of rice flower riddles!

He took out a piece of paper and unfolded it, revealing a column of text written vertically on it.

【Marumishintento (Marumishintento)】

Whether or not it's explicitly stated, it's highly relevant to the plot so far.

Yusuke Suzuki, who followed closely behind, also took a look.

Was katakana used intentionally?

Moreover, the puzzle points to a specific location.

In such a place, the answer cannot be a simple word or two, otherwise it would be impossible to pinpoint the exact location.

Recombining the words?

Yusuke Suzuki thought for a moment, then suddenly remembered what Professor Agasa had mentioned earlier about festivals and torii gates.

Unsurprisingly, this is all key information.

Sigh, since my wife was involved in designing this puzzle, I'll just have to put all my effort into figuring it out.

Yusuke Suzuki silently closed his eyes, directly copying the puzzle into his mind and starting to transform it, but he did not get a combination related to the key information.

Then...flip it?

Or not.

Wait a minute, generally speaking, puzzles are given in normal written form, but why is it written vertically this time?

Turn it sideways and take a look.

Thus, in Yusuke Suzuki's mind, 【マルムシニテント】became 【ムラマツワリノトリイ】.

It means the torii gate in village festivals.

That makes sense.

As for the torii gate, Suzuki Yusuke can see it just by looking up; it's not far away, and it's probably only a ten-minute walk away.

This puzzle wasn't too difficult; maybe I should participate in creating the puzzle myself next time.

At this moment, the three little ones who tried to ask Conan for help were scolded by Ai Haibara, making the atmosphere quite tense.

Professor Agasa then walked over and whispered, "Yusuke, could you please go check out the place indicated by the code later?"

"If either Ai or I go, I'm afraid the children will find out. I was thinking of asking Shinichi for help, but..."

At this point, Professor Agasa beamed with delight, "Shinichi can't decipher the code I gave him either!"

"Okay, I'll go take a look later."

Yusuke Suzuki glanced at Ai Haibara, who was still arguing with the three little ones, and nodded in agreement.

Chapter 681 The pressure is completely eliminated

Upon hearing Suzuki Yusuke's firm and unwavering answer, Dr. Agasa visibly showed a hint of disappointment.

Unfortunately, Conan's failure to solve his puzzle immediately gave him some extra hope, but now that hope has clearly been dashed.

Sigh... Shinichi is still not as good as Yusuke, probably not much better than Yusaku.

Dr. Agasa sighed inwardly for a moment, then turned to look at Ai Haibara, "I really have to thank Ai for helping me come up with this mystery."

Hearing the sound, Ai Haibara and the three little ones also looked over at the same time.

Genta might not be the sharpest brain, but he instantly realized that Yusuke must have already solved the mystery!

He immediately ran over to ask for help.

Haibara just said that we shouldn't ask Conan for help.

But before he could even take a step, Suzuki Yusuke received a warning look from his wife.

Anyway, Suzuki Yusuke knew what Haibara Ai meant and hadn't planned to help in the first place, so he said directly, "You guys do your best, I'm going to take a walk around the neighborhood."

After saying that, he left without giving the three little ones any chance.

He's going to check if there's anything wrong with the 'treasure' that Professor Agasa prepared, such as if someone accidentally discovered it and took it away.

After walking a few steps, Suzuki Yusuke suddenly realized that the so-called 'treasure' might be tree sap, something that attracts insects. Moreover, there were lanterns hanging at the torii gate, and the light from them could also attract insects.

It's difficult to find insects like rhinoceros beetles at this time of year, a fact that Professor Agasa and Ai Haibara couldn't possibly be unaware of.

But they still brought the three little ones here, and Ai Haibara's attitude towards the three little ones today is mainly to educate them.

"Let children obtain what was already difficult to achieve through their own intelligence and hard work."

This is probably the topic of my wife's education this time.

If Ai Haibara gets bored at home in the future, let her become a teacher at Teitan Elementary School.

Yusuke Suzuki suddenly thought that he could find an opportunity to talk to Ai Haibara about this.

This heartbreaking girl had no childhood, and her pursuit of scientific research was not of her own volition; moreover, she genuinely loves children.

As he walked, thinking, Yusuke Suzuki soon arrived at the torii gate of the shrine.

The traces of the festival were still very obvious, and the ground was not cleaned up very well.

He circled the torii gate and found the tree sap that Professor Agasa had applied, just as he had predicted.

no problem.

Yusuke Suzuki sat down on the spot, took out a cigarette and lit it, and sent an email to Kiichiro Numabuchi to ask about the situation.

The reply came very quickly.

The training camp was very successful. Among those who passed the test, 13 were willing to join Sheep Village, which is almost half of them.

Those who are unwilling, even if they have signed a confidentiality agreement, will still be secretly dealt with later, with the processing time expected to be 1-3 years.

During this period, Sheep Village itself was not well-known, so even if its existence was leaked, it wouldn't be a big deal.

These tasks to be completed can also serve as practical training projects for the members of the Sheep Village.

Of course, when it comes to implementation, it is basically done in the same way as the second session, and when the time span is long enough, there will be more intervals in between.

Suzuki Yusuke himself didn't feel any guilt about dealing with these people; they were only after money, and he had always been very generous with his money.

After finishing up the matter in Sheep Village, he contacted Miki Masami again after a long time.
