The world of science is unscientific

But the man just waved his hand.

After some conversation, everyone learned his identity.

His surname is Hozumi, and he is the assistant director of "Winter Maple Leaves". He was the one who recommended this location to the crew.

After chatting for a while, Hozumi suddenly asked, "Could you please leave a message for me?"

"Today, a fan offered to take me to the winter maple leaf shooting location, which is under the tree with the red handkerchief tied to it."

"I've been searching since early this morning, and I'm exhausted."

He pleaded again, "I forgot that fan's phone number. There's a Red Tree Hotel in front of the station. You just need to write in the notebook in the lobby, 'I've found the tree. Please come to the rock that appeared in the last scene of the play.' That's all."

Isn't that the place?

Ran Mouri and Sonoko Suzuki looked at the large rock in front of them and, thinking it was nothing to do, agreed.

Yusuke Suzuki suddenly said, "Mr. Hozumi, since you're helping out for a fee, you can't keep asking for more money just because this place is remote. As they say, greed knows no bounds."

Chapter 870 Xiao Lan is getting cuter and cuter.

"What...what do you mean?"

Upon hearing this, Brother Suiji's expression changed slightly.

Yusuke Suzuki shrugged slightly. "I just think there's something wrong with what you're saying. If there's anything else, it's best to know when to stop."

After saying that, he took Ai Haibara's small hand and put his arm around his silly little sister's shoulder. "Ran, let's go."

The two women were stunned for a moment before they realized what was happening and started walking away together.

Conan gave his older brother, Hozumi, a meaningful look before following him.

At this moment, Hozumi called out again: "Thanks for reminding me, I will pay attention. You can just write my name in katakana on the message board."

Yusuke Suzuki sighed, "I understand."

It's impossible to reason with a damned ghost...

After walking a distance, a series of problems arose.

Yusuke Suzuki answered each question one by one, "First of all, he said he was very tired. Can you tell from his face? He didn't even seem out of breath when he spoke."

"Secondly, he himself said that this is the only scenic spot on this mountain. The fact that so many handkerchiefs are hanging here shows that the location is not hard to find. So the idea that fans paid him to show them the way is not very reasonable."

"Then, the 'tree' he emphasized in his message was not the one in the filming location he claimed to be."

As he spoke, Suzuki Yusuke grew impatient. "Forget it, there are just too many contradictions. I'm too lazy to count them all. Let's just leave it at that."

The group was listening intently when they saw him slacking off, and they all pouted, clearly unhappy.

Conan was alright, since he was able to spot the flaws in the man's words. He mainly wanted to combine what Suzuki Yusuke said with his own arguments to make a counter-argument.

But it's a bit unbearable if the debate ends halfway through.

After thinking for a moment, Conan raised his hand and asked, "Yusuke-nii, is that uncle in danger? Or is he possibly involved in some illegal transaction?"

"will not."

Yusuke Suzuki continued walking forward, "He didn't even have a recording device on him, or even a weapon. What kind of illegal transaction would be complete without these things?"

"Moreover, the more important and secretive the transaction, the less likely they are to have someone else relay the message. He's the director's assistant, so it's probably some kind of business intelligence-for-money deal."

This is a reasonable speculation from his perspective, and there's absolutely no problem with saying it.

Conan felt a little relieved after hearing this.

However... he still really wanted to get involved.

But it's not realistic to get involved directly; it's not even close to being decided yet, so what would he do there?

Being caught by Xiaolan only caused him more trouble.

...

Two hours later.

Yusuke Suzuki and his group arrived at the Akaba Inn.

They themselves also need to find a place to stay.

This place is quite nice; the scenery is truly beautiful.

Sonoko Suzuki ran to write in the guestbook, while Yusuke Suzuki and the others waited for her in the lobby.

"Yusuke-nii, let's go find something to eat later, I'm starving."

At that moment, Ran Mouri suddenly spoke to Yusuke Suzuki.

Her face flushed slightly, and her tone carried a hint of coquetry.

Her pure and beautiful face, coupled with her adorable expression, is incredibly captivating.

Even with his extensive experience, Suzuki Yusuke's heart softened at this moment.

Who wouldn't be confused in that situation?

This was the first time Ran Mouri had shown herself like this in front of him.

It's probably because during the last wedding incident, Eri Kisaki confirmed his status as her 'brother,' and he didn't seem to object at all; in fact, he was quite interested.

In addition, after spending so much time together, Ran Mouri already considered him an older brother, so she readily and decisively accepted him as her brother.

Therefore, it's perfectly normal for a younger sister to occasionally act coquettishly towards her older brother.

Especially now that they are still 'applying for food'.

For shy and reserved girls, admitting that they are hungry and need to eat, and to eat a lot, can be a little embarrassing.

Yusuke Suzuki was in a good mood, but he didn't do anything like patting the other person's head.

This behavior is still somewhat excessive at present.

He simply smiled gently and nodded. "Hmm, what would you like to eat?"

"Anything is fine," Ran Mouri replied quickly, then looked at Conan and Ai, "Shall we go together?"

Just then, Sonoko Suzuki arrived. She glanced at Conan and said, "You little brat with glasses, you're going too?"

Conan simply gave a question mark look.

Am I not even worthy of eating?

Why are you always targeting me, you stinky meatball?!

But I've gotten used to it...

From elementary school to junior high, and now back to elementary school.

How did this cycle of reincarnation even begin?

Conan felt increasingly upset and decided to eat a proper meal later.

Before they had gone far, Suzuki Yusuke sensed the long-lost presence of Kuro.

Don't worry about it, he can't do anything about Xiao Hei anyway.

After leaving the hotel, the group went into a nearby restaurant.

Since this place primarily caters to tourists, the food service is extremely fast.

Yusuke Suzuki was eating in less than 20 minutes.

Because they ordered too much, Ai Haibara, like her grandmother, frantically fed them.

This is delicious...that is delicious...I don't want to eat this, I'll just try a little of that.

Suzuki-kun, please eat all of these.

This is what she's thinking; she definitely won't say it aloud.

In addition, her own mature temperament, her status as a younger sister, and her usual control over Professor Agasa's food all help her.

Ran Mouri and Sonoko Suzuki didn't see anything wrong with it.

They actually felt that the relationship between Ai Haibara and Yusuke Suzuki was genuinely good.

Although she was starving, Ran Mouri ate very politely.

She looks absolutely stunning with her cute style now that she's lost her sharp features.

Ke Duoyu kept glancing at the food as he ate, without stopping.

While Suzuki Yusuke was eating voraciously, he also kept an eye on his silly little sister. He clicked his tongue lightly and tapped her head. "Why are you spacing out instead of eating?"

"I think it's better to go there."

Sonoko Suzuki looked worried, but her eyes were determined. "I'm going to tie this handkerchief on!"

She stared at her older brother, adopting a stance of arguing her point, "Brother, I'm just giving an example, you're not allowed to hit me."

"If, for example, the sister-in-law who made an appointment with you to meet you while you were wearing a red... um... black outfit, is instead lured away by another handsome man dressed in black."

"Although you eventually found your sister-in-law, you carelessly forgot to wear black clothes."

"Although it's just an analogy, it's pretty much the same, bro. Can you accept that?"

Then she looked at Ran Mouri and repeated the same words in a different role, "How about it?"

Yusuke Suzuki: "..."

Ai Haibara: "......"

Conan: "..."

But Ran Mouri's reaction was: "!!!"

She pondered for a moment, then slammed her hand on the table and stood up. "Let's go, Sonoko, let's go right now!"

Sonoko Suzuki also slammed her hand on the table and stood up, then looked at Yusuke Suzuki with her best friend.

Yusuke Suzuki put down his knife and fork, sighed, and said, "Alright, alright, let's go now."

The plot is really irrelevant.

He had underestimated the importance of this matter to his silly sister.
