Conan: I've been linked to the tech tree system.

Are all criminal investigators so carefree?

Chapter 110 Why are you chasing me to kill me?

Leaving the white beach and bidding farewell to the Grim Reaper family, Tohru and his two companions continued their journey.

Maya Tachibana had no idea how deep her friendship with Ran Mouri had become over the past few days. She was reluctant to leave and was even thinking about continuing her vacation with the Grim Reaper family.

Unfortunately, Ran and Conan have to go to school and don't have much free time.

Kogoro also needs to go back to work, otherwise he won't be able to earn money from horse racing betting.

In the end, only the three of them, who were freelancers, were carefree.

"Hey, the cherry blossoms here look so pretty! Let's go over here!"

Maya Tachibana was reading her travel magazine in the car again.

"I'm saying, is the tourist destination you chose even normal? I encountered a murder case when I went to the beach before."

Tohno Toru's daily routine dampens her enthusiasm.

Tachibana Maya ignored him and pulled on the arm of Miyano Shiho, who was sitting in the passenger seat. "Shiho! Look at these cherry blossoms!"

"Yes, it really looks great." Shiho Miyano glanced at the promotional pictures in the magazine and nodded very naturally.

"Let's go here then!" Tachibana Maya slapped the magazine down next to the driver's seat without asking Tohru Tono's opinion from beginning to end.

"He really knows how to talk to himself." Tohru Tono picked up the magazine and glanced at it. The cherry blossoms were in full bloom, and they were very beautiful. It really is the best season to see cherry blossoms now.

"Since you're going to see the cherry blossoms, did you bring any kimonos?"

"kimono?"

"Yeah, isn't that what you wear when you go to see cherry blossoms... I remember it's like that in TV dramas and comics."

"I'm telling you, is your head completely filled with weird stuff?" Shiho Miyano mocked mercilessly. "It's not like it's a lantern festival or anything, why are you wearing a kimono?"

"Uh......"

"Wait, Shiho, kimonos sound really nice! We can take lots of pictures!"

"?" Shiho Miyano glanced at Maya Tachibana, whose stance had changed so quickly, and twitched the corner of her mouth. "I don't like taking pictures."

"Take a picture~" Tachibana Maya launched her cute offensive, snuggling up to Miyano Shiho.

Tono glanced at the clustered arcs; they were quite pleasing to the eye.

"What are you looking at?" Shiho Miyano glared at him, then shoved Maya Tachibana away. "Taking photos in disguise is fine, but we didn't bring any kimonos to wear!"

"There must be places to see cherry blossoms, right?"

Tohru Tohru couldn't stand it anymore and interrupted, "This place you're looking at isn't a tourist area, so there's definitely no such thing for rent."

"Ah~" Tachibana Maya sighed in disappointment.

"However, I have a plan."

"I have an invention that can disguise clothes into any shape. You can wear them for photos, and the effect will be exactly the same as a kimono."

Tohno Toru felt he was a genius, and he did it to avoid hurting Tachibana Maya, definitely not to see Miyano Shiho in a kimono.

"No."

"No."

The answer was unanimous.

"Huh? Why?" Tohru Tohno asked, puzzled.

"Please, is a fake kimono still a kimono?" Maya Tachibana said irritably.

"What's the difference between this and the one borrowed from the scenic area?"

"There's a huge difference! You're really boring."

She sat back down, looking rather uninterested.

"?" Tohno Toru couldn't understand her.

......

"Wow! It looks good!"

She was listless for a long time on the bus, but Tachibana Maya finally perked up after arriving at her destination.

He dragged Shiho Miyano around to find the best angles for taking photos.

Tohru Tono is naturally just a tool.

After taking pictures for a long time, the sky gradually darkened.

"Hey, shall I take a few pictures of you two too?"

Maya Tachibana came over and snatched the camera from Toru Tono's hand.

"Wow, I'm so lucky to have the chance to take a picture with you two," Tohru Tono said sarcastically.

"Hmm." Tachibana Maya seemed not to have heard, tilting her head back with an arrogant air.

Tohno sighed and walked over to look at Shiho Miyano.

"What?"

"Do you want to take off your disguise and take a few pictures?"

"You want to hand over my photos to the Black Organization?"

“I said, if I wanted to sell you, I would have given you to Gin long ago.”

"It's hard to say, maybe you'll change your mind?"

"..." Tohru Tohru said irritably, "Take a few photos and send them to your sister! So she won't think I'm exploiting you here and then complain to her ex-boyfriend in the FBI."

"......oh."

Shiho Miyano, unusually, didn't continue her mockery. She dropped her pretense, turned her face towards Maya Tachibana, and showed Toru Tono a side profile.

The crimson light of the setting sun shone on her face, making her fair skin blush. A cherry blossom fell on her head with the swirling west wind, like an exquisite decoration.

Tohru Tono watched her, gradually becoming engrossed.

"Click"

Maya Tachibana used her digital camera to capture the clouds in the sky, the swaying flowers, and the people on the roadside.

......

As dusk fell, the silver-white Continental GT sped down the mountain.

Unfortunately, things didn't go as planned. Sports cars are not off-road vehicles after all. Not only was the chassis too low, making the ride too bumpy on the mountain roads, but a tire also blew out halfway through.

Tohno Toru got out of the car to check the tires, and Tachibana Maya, who was so shaken that she almost threw up her lunch, also quickly got out to get some fresh air.

"I have to say, your driving skills are terrible." Her smiling face from when she was taking pictures was gone.

"You try driving it yourself." Toru Tono was changing the spare tire when he was still being mocked.

He is so difficult.

"How about we go tomorrow? The road conditions are terrible today." Tachibana Maya didn't want to throw up in the car.

"I'm telling you, you're going to sleep in the car in this desolate wilderness?"

Tono remained silent.

"Isn't there a temple over there?" Tachibana Maya pointed to a cliff.

Tohno looked over and discovered that next to the waterfall on the cliff, there really was a group of buildings that looked like a temple.

Is it really possible to find a place to stay in this desolate wilderness?

Wait a minute, doesn't this temple look familiar?

Could it be that case...?

Tohru Tono recalled a childhood trauma.

If so, it would be worthwhile to go and take a look.

Isn't the probability of them encountering cases along the way a bit too high?

He's hardly ever encountered this when he goes out on his own.

Tohno glanced at Tachibana Maya, who was in charge of travel guides.

Could this person also be a plague god? The indigenous people are terrifying.

"Let's go take a look and ask the abbot if we can stay here."

"Great! Staying at a temple!" Tachibana Maya was inexplicably happy, like a child.

The two got into the car and told Shiho Miyano about their plans.

Shiho Miyano had no objections, or rather, she never had any. While Toru Tono and Maya Tachibana were discussing where to go, she just sat there and didn't say much.

She's the legendary "Suibian" (meaning "whatever").

Tohru Tohru started the car and continued driving towards the temple in the mountains. As they got closer, he unexpectedly saw a very familiar car.

It wasn't a Porsche 356A; otherwise, Shiho Miyano would have called the police long ago.

But it was pretty much the same – it was a white Mazda RX7.

The car itself is not rare, but in the world of Detective Conan, the car's purpose is very obvious.

It is the car of Tooru Amuro, a mysterious member of the Black Organization and a member of the Japanese Public Security Bureau.

"Why is he here?"

Tohru Tono was puzzled.

"Who?" Shiho Miyano looked at him strangely.
