Ke Xue: Xiaolan delivers goods to your door at the beginning

The middle row was occupied by Rumi Wakasa and Conan, while the last and most spacious row was taken up by the three little ones and Sherry.

In the back row, the three little ones chattered excitedly about Kamen Rider, while Sherry leaned back slightly, tilting her head to look at the scenery rushing past outside the window.

Sherry turned her head and looked at Wakasa Rumi with some curiosity: "I didn't expect that the elementary school teacher who bravely subdued the professional golfer murderer in the news was such a quiet-looking woman."

Upon hearing this, Wakasa Rumi waved her hand somewhat embarrassedly: "No, it's all just a coincidence! The prisoner was probably running too fast and tripped, and it was just an accident that I hit him with 543..."

"That just shows that Ms. Wakasa was very lucky!" Sherry chuckled. "And in that situation, Ms. Wakasa was very brave to stand in front of the children!"

“Yeah!” Ayumi’s voice came at this moment, and the three little ones seemed to be attracted by this topic as well.

Ayumi said excitedly, "We were all terrified when the culprit charged at Conan, but Wakasa-sensei immediately stood in front of us!"

“Yes! At that time, I felt that Wakasa-sensei’s figure was so tall! Like Superman on the feet!” Mitsuhiko also said.

“That’s right, that’s right!” Genta chimed in, “Although she usually seems a bit absent-minded, she’s actually quite reliable when it really matters!”

"Genta! How could you say that to the teacher?" Ayumi glared at Genta with some dissatisfaction. How could he say such a thing directly?

"That's right! Apologize to the teacher right now!" Mitsuhiko immediately followed Sumi's lead.

"Uh... this..." Genta, seeing that his two good friends had spoken up, realized he had indeed made a mistake. He scratched his head sheepishly and whispered to Wakasa Rumi in the front row, "I'm sorry, Wakasa-sensei~"

Ruo Ling, with a gentle smile, quickly turned around and said, "It's nothing, it's nothing! I am indeed a bit absent-minded and have caused a lot of trouble for my classmates and teachers. I should be thanking you for always being so tolerant of me!"

Looking at Wakasa's gentle smile, Ayumi nodded repeatedly, "Yes, yes! Wakasa-sensei is truly a wonderful teacher!"

"Haha! It's alright!" Rumi Wakasa's expression became increasingly embarrassed.

"Does Ms. Wakasa also enjoy camping?" Sherry asked.

Rumi Wakasa smiled and said, "I do enjoy going out for a walk occasionally. I happened to overhear Yoshida and the others discussing camping, so I couldn't resist joining in."

At this point, she hesitated and looked at Shirley, "Um...won't this cause you trouble?"

Sherry waved her hand and laughed, "How could that be? We were just asked by the professor to come and take care of these children. With Professor Wakasa's help, we'll definitely have an easier time. How could it be troublesome?"

Upon hearing this, Wakasa Rumi looked relieved and smiled, saying, "It's good that I didn't cause any trouble~"

"Hey! Why do you make us sound like a burden?" Mitsuhiko muttered, a little annoyed. "We're the Junior Detective Club, who's solved countless cases! We don't need any help at all!"

“Yeah, yeah!” Ayumi and Genta chimed in.

"How about I let the three of you off the bus now and you can go to the campsite yourselves?" Lin Xiaofeng said with a smile.

The three boys, who had been so confident, suddenly froze.

"How about you guys take care of setting up the tents later?"

"?" Conan couldn't resist taking the opportunity to kick someone when they were down.

"This..." The three little ones couldn't help but lower their heads.

Although they had gone camping with Dr. Agasa many times, Dr. Agasa and Conan always pitched the tents together, while the others were only responsible for tasks that didn't require much skill, such as clearing weeds and gathering firewood.

They also tried to set up a tent, but after fiddling around for a long time, they almost tied themselves inside.

Therefore, they really lacked confidence when it came to setting up tents.

"Hmm!" Shirley chuckled softly, adding a final, teasing comment: "In that case, I won't have to help with lunch, dinner, or breakfast tomorrow, right?"

"No way!" Genta was the first to object: "Without Sherry's cooking, camping loses its soul!"

"That's right!" Ayumi said eagerly, "We bought a lot of ingredients, just waiting for Sherry-neechan to show off her cooking skills!"

"Sister Sherry, please pretend you didn't hear what we just said. We still really need your care!" Mitsuhiko admitted defeat.

Everything else is negotiable, but since the cook has abandoned his duties, given Mitsuhiko's understanding of Ayumi and Genta's culinary skills, they will most likely go hungry.

This is absolutely unacceptable!

The others couldn't help but smile when they saw the three little ones looking so aggrieved.

"Huh? Sherry's cooking skills are amazing?" Wakasa Rumi asked in surprise.

"Mmm! It's amazing! It's even better than what my mom makes!" Ayumi replied.

“Yes! Sherry’s eel rice is the best I’ve ever eaten!” Genta also chimed in.

“Wakasa-sensei, you’ll know once you try it!” Mitsuhiko added.

Upon hearing this, Rumi Wakasa couldn't help but show a look of anticipation: "Then I'll be looking forward to it!"

Afterwards, the group chatted idly along the way, and time flew by. Before they knew it, they had arrived at their destination.

The campsite we chose was established by a well-known travel agency. A large area of ​​weeds had been cleared, the trees had been trimmed, and there were rental and sales services for camping equipment such as tents available nearby.

At least Lin Xiaofeng's first impression of this place was not bad.

Guided by the staff, they parked their car and selected an empty camping area.

The first thing to do, naturally, was to set up the tent.

Lin Xiaofeng laughed and said, "Leave the tent-setting up to me, Shirley, and Teacher Ruoxia. You guys go and help find some firewood so we can prepare lunch!"

"Okay!" The three little ones had no objection to this arrangement and couldn't wait for lunch to start.

"Let's hurry up! I just saw a place with a lot of firewood!" Conan called out, glancing at Sherry.

Sherry's gaze flickered slightly, but she maintained a calm expression and silently followed Conan and the three little ones.

620. The beautiful Ms. Wakasa Rumi

In the blink of an eye, only Lin Xiaofeng and his two companions remained.

Rumi Wakasa laughed and said, "Now that the children have started working, we can't fall behind!"

Lin Xiaofeng nodded with a smile: "Yes! Then let's hurry up! After we set up the tent, we'll also need to move over the cooking ingredients, utensils, and other essentials!"

"Then hurry up, Ms. Wakasa, you should know how to set up a tent, right?" Sherry asked.

Rumi Wakasa laughed and said, "Ah! I have some experience with this, after all, I've been camping quite a bit before."

"Okay! Then I'll divide the work up..." Lin Xiaofeng began to assign tasks.

Before long, the three of them began setting up the tent according to their assigned tasks.

Rumi Wakasa wasn't lying; she did have considerable experience in setting up tents and could adjust the position of the tent corner she was responsible for based on the changes in Lin Xiaofeng and Rumi's positions.

The tent was set up very quickly, and it didn't even need any adjustments to achieve its proper shape.

Lin Xiaofeng secured the last peg and clapped his hands lightly: "Done!"

The three of them came forward and looked each other up and down for a while.

"Hmm! Very good! No need for adjustments!" Shirley said with a smile.

"Wakasa-sensei is indeed very experienced!" Lin Xiaofeng praised.

Rumi Wakasa chuckled, "It's nothing! I'm just glad I didn't cause you any trouble!"

“Let’s move the rest of the things over now!” Shirley said with a smile.

Lin Xiaofeng nodded slightly and looked at Ruo (Xia Liu Jiu Mei): "Then, Teacher Ruo, you stay here and help with the chess game while we go and come right back."

“Okay! Leave it to me!” Rumi Wakasa nodded.

Afterwards, Lin Xiaofeng and Shirley left the camp and returned to the SUV to move other things over.

Once out of Wakasa Rumi's sight, Sherry whispered, "This guy's acting isn't bad!"

Lin Xiaofeng shrugged: "If your acting is bad, you won't even be one of the candidates for Rum."

Upon hearing this, Shirley moved slightly closer to him and lowered her voice even further: "Shall we test the waters?"

Lin Xiaofeng didn't reply, only shook his head. Wakasa Rumi had nothing to do with Rum; it was just Conan's paranoia. Besides, how could someone as beautiful as Wakasa Rumi be a villain?

Seeing Lin Xiaofeng's reaction, Shirley nodded knowingly and then said nothing more.

The two then returned to the SUV, opened the trunk, and began unloading the remaining items.

During this process, a silver-gray Mazda stopped nearby.

Lin Xiaofeng glanced at it instinctively.

The driver's side door of the Mazda opened, and a man climbed out of the car.

"Hmm?" Lin Xiaofeng's gaze suddenly sharpened.

The man who got off the bus was burly and had a dignified face; at first glance, he even looked somewhat fierce.

His willow-like hair and beard revealed obvious signs of death and graying, indicating that he was already quite old. However, what attracted the most attention was undoubtedly the black eye patch covering his right eye.

This made his already fierce appearance even more intimidating.

"This face and appearance, could it be..." Lin Xiaofeng was pondering when he saw the man suddenly turn his head and look in their direction.

Their eyes met instantly.

"Very keen perception!" A hint of surprise flashed across Lin Xiaofeng's eyes, then he gave the other person an apologetic smile, politely looked away, and continued moving things with Shirley.

The man stared at Lin Xiaofeng for several seconds before turning his head away.

Afterwards, Lin Xiaofeng acted as if nothing had happened, and he and Shirley quickly cleared out the belongings and carried them all back to the campsite in one go.

Just then, the Junior Detective League returned carrying a large pile of firewood.

"Wow! You've collected so much firewood, that's great!" Rumi Wakasa bent down and praised with a smile.

"Of course!"

"We're the Junior Detective Club!"

The three boys responded proudly.

“Now that everything is ready, it’s time for me to show off my skills!” Shirley said with a smile.

"Great!" The three little ones cheered excitedly.

……

evening.

Lin Xiaofeng, Shirley, and Rumi Wakasa prepared dinner together.

Meanwhile, the three little ones wandered around the neighborhood, looking rather bored.

After lunch, they took Ke Bananwu and Xue Lingli to explore the surrounding area until about an hour later when they returned to the camp.

Fortunately, they did not encounter any accidents during their previous camping trips and returned to the camp safely, which relieved Lin Xiaofeng and Shirley, who had been keeping a close eye on them.

"Hey? Conan, look! There's someone over there who looks just like you!" Ayumi suddenly exclaimed excitedly, attracting everyone's attention.

"Someone who looks a lot like me?" Conan looked over in confusion.

“That’s the older brother!” Ayumi pointed in a direction.

Over there, two young men in their early twenties were sitting around a small pot of cooking food, seemingly talking about something.

One of the young men had bronze skin, a burly build, and a buzz cut, and looked quite intimidating. The other young man was slightly thinner and had fairer skin.

Lin Xiaofeng listened intently.

"I said! You need to add three curry cubes! That'll make the soup thicker! Or at least two! That's the bare minimum!" the bronze-skinned youth emphasized, gesturing with his hands.

..... ... 0

"Got it! Didn't Midori go and buy it?" the skinny young man said with a smile.

"Oh, I see! It's that gesture!" Shirley exclaimed in realization.

“That’s right!” Ayumi nodded repeatedly, then raised her thumb, index finger, and middle finger, and then spread them out: “Conan often makes this gesture too!”

"Oh! That's what I usually use to mean 'three'!" Conan laughed.

Sherry glanced at Conan and smiled knowingly: "I remember someone's mother liked to make this gesture because she was obsessed with French style."

“That’s right, the third is like this, the second is like this…” Conan bent his middle finger, leaving only his index finger and thumb upright.

"But! That older brother didn't make a V-sign like this!" Mitsuhiko raised his middle and index fingers, making a V-sign.

“Yeah! It’s the same as how we usually set it up!” Genta said, puzzled.

Conan glanced at the bronze-skinned youth again and smiled slightly: "The difference between the 'three' and 'two' he's making, plus the duct tape wrapped around his hands, means..."

With that, Conan strode toward the two young men.

The three children looked at each other in bewilderment for a moment, then followed after them out of curiosity.
