Conan strode up to the two young men, and under the questioning gazes of the two young men and a young woman who had just returned from Conan's conversation with the three children, he smiled and said:
"Big brother! You two are basketball players, right?" Bu asked.
621. Seeing white arms makes me think of a naked woman.
Before the three children could react to Conan's question, the two young men being questioned and the woman who had just arrived all looked surprised.
Conan chuckled and explained, "When a basketball referee indicates 'two,' they usually raise their index and middle fingers. But when indicating 'three,' to distinguish it from 'two,' they continue to raise their thumb."
"I've seen many basketball players use this hand gesture to indicate 'two' and 'three'."
"You're amazing, kid! You're absolutely right!" the young woman exclaimed.
"As expected of Conan!"
"I hit it again!"
The three little ones were also amazed.
“Since the children have already guessed it, let me introduce myself!” the young woman said with a smile. “I am the manager of the university basketball club—Mitori Furuoka.”
She then pointed to the fair-skinned young man: "The one in the '50s' who is stirring the curry pot is our basketball club's ace this year—Junto Ashizawa."
Ashizawa Junto gave a slightly shy smile: "Don't say that, I'm not some ace! I was a substitute last year..."
The bronze-skinned youth chuckled and said, "Speaking of which, it seems like scouts have already been contacting you recently, haven't they? Don't forget your good friends when you become famous!"
"Uh, hehe..." Ashizawa Junto seemed unsure how to respond and could only manage an awkward smile.
"As for me!" the bronze-skinned youth chuckled, "I'm the basketball club's defensive captain, Fumiaki Urushihara. I'm very strict about defense, and of course, I'm also very strict about the taste of curry!"
“And me!” Another young man walked over, his face somewhat unfriendly, and said, “I am the former ace who was injured in the eye by this defensive captain, Dan Ye Kunimitsu.”
As soon as he finished speaking, the atmosphere at the scene changed instantly.
"Did he injure...his eyes?" Mitsuhiko murmured.
Fumiaki Urushihara turned and smiled, "Oh! It's just that my arm accidentally brushed against his eye during training..."
"That was a complete collision!" Duan Yebangian's emotions exploded instantly, and he roared, "I almost went blind and had to get a prosthetic eye!"
The three children were startled by Duan Ye's sudden outburst and were speechless for a moment.
In an instant, Shirley's pupils shrank to pinpoints! Her body stiffened, and she slowly turned her head as if a machine were turning itself.
Just a few steps behind, Rumi Wakasa was pursing her lips tightly, staring ahead with an incredibly strange look in her eyes.
Conan quickly noticed Sherry's unusual behavior and followed her gaze.
"Ms. Ruoxia... Sherry is reacting to her?" Conan's mind raced, his gaze suddenly sharpening: "Hmm? This is..."
All that could be seen was Wakasa Rumi's left hand, which was tightly gripping the back left pocket of her pants, and judging from the shape of her hand, there seemed to be something in the pocket.
"It seems to be some kind of angular object..." Conan stared at the pocket, his eyes full of inquiry.
Just then, his view was blocked.
Conan was taken aback, and when he looked up slightly, he saw that Lin Xiaofeng was already standing behind him and Sherry.
He first met Sherry's gaze, smiled slightly, and secretly gave himself a thumbs up. Then he turned his gaze to Conan and raised his eyebrows slightly.
"You two, don't be so suspicious."
Seeing black clothes reminds him of the Black Organization, seeing one eye reminds him of Rum... This reminds Lin Xiaofeng of Lu Xun's famous saying: seeing white arms reminds him of female nudity.
Conan nodded, calming himself down. Sherry also turned her head back, quickly regaining her composure.
The three children were completely oblivious to the changes happening around them, their attention drawn to Urushihara Fumiaki's words.
Urushihara glanced at Duan Ye and chuckled, "No need to be so angry! Didn't you end up with Midori because of this? You should be thanking me!"
"You bastard!?" Duan Ye was even angrier upon hearing this.
"Hey! Urushihara, that's going too far!" Ashizawa seemed to have had enough and spoke up.
Urushihara turned to look at Ashizawa, grinned, and said with an ambiguous smile, "I advise you to watch your words, Ashizawa..."
His tone gradually lowered, and his voice became increasingly sinister: "Perhaps one day you will also be ruined by my hands... just like Duan Ye!"
His voice suddenly rose, and he turned his head, looking at Duan Ye with a defiant gaze.
"You bastard!" Duan Ye clenched his fists tightly, his eyes glaring at Qi Yuan with bloodshot eyes.
Urushihara also met his gaze without backing down.
After a long while, Qi Yuan finally stood up, looking disappointed, and said, "Alright, alright, I knew I shouldn't have come! I'm going back to have some wine and snacks, then I'll go to sleep. Remember to wake me up when you leave tomorrow!"
With that, he turned and walked towards the tent without looking back.
"Wait a minute! Urushihara!" Midori seemed to want to stop him, but Urushihara didn't respond at all and went straight into the tent.
Midori covered her face in annoyance: "Honestly! It's precisely because everyone's relationship hasn't been good lately that I wanted to organize this camping trip to ease the tension!"
"It's my fault, I couldn't help myself..." Duan Ye said apologetically.
"It's alright!" Lu Ze smiled. "Just give him curry, right? He's never been able to resist curry, has he?"
"I hope so..." Midori sighed.
……
As the sun set and only a sliver of light remained, lights gradually illuminated the area around the campsite.
"Mmm! The curry is so delicious!" Genta swallowed a mouthful of curry with satisfaction.
"Yes! And it goes really well with other ingredients!" Mitsuhiko also praised it highly.
“Thank you so much for sharing your curry with us!” Rumi Wakasa said with a smile.
Midori waved her hands repeatedly: "No, that's not true! We already bought a lot, and you also contributed a lot of ingredients! You even let us taste your cuisine!"
She looked at Shirley with admiration: "This young lady's seafood chowder is truly wonderful!"
"You flatter me." Shirley smiled slightly and glanced at Lin Xiaofeng: "Who can blame us when we have such a picky eater in the family?"
Lin Xiaofeng shrugged and laughed, "Likewise!"
"Huh? Are you two a couple?" Midori asked in surprise.
“That’s right!” the three little ones immediately answered.
"Sigh! Another couple, how enviable!" Lu Ze couldn't help but laugh.
"Lu Ze, don't be envious!" Duan Ye laughed. "You're the ace of our basketball club now, and I've noticed quite a few junior girls are quite fond of you!"
Lu Ze scratched his head awkwardly: "Duan Ye, please stop making fun of me."
Seemingly wanting to avoid the topic, he stood up and said with a smile, "I'll go see Urushihara too!"
He then strode quickly toward the tent.
Duan Ye laughed heartily: "Lu Ze is still so shy!"
622. The Terrifying One-Eyed Dragon, Kuroda Heibei
After a moment of hesitation, Qi O returned (with a helpless expression): "Lian Qi has been staying in the tent the whole time, and Gen Meng hasn't said a word!"
"Could he already be asleep?" Midori guessed. "He even complained a bit when I went there before!"
As she spoke, she handed the bowl of curry to Lu Ze.
"Thank you!" Lu Ze took the curry and sat down.
"Huh? But the lights are still on in the tent!" Duan Ye exclaimed.
As everyone looked, they saw the light shining from inside Qiyuan's tent, and in the light, they could vaguely see Qiyuan's shadow rising and falling.
"He looks like he's doing squats?" Midori said.
“I remember Urushihara telling me that he does squats every night before bed,” Ashizawa said with a smile.
Duan Ye hesitated for a moment, then seemed to have made up his mind and said to Ashizawa, "Ashizawa, give me this curry, I'll take it to Urushihara."
"Oh! I know!" Midori's eyes lit up: "You want to lure him out with scent, right?"
“Yes!” Duan Ye nodded.
"Good luck!" Lu Ze encouraged.
Duan Ye carried the curry toward Urushihara's tent.
Lin Xiaofeng couldn't help but turn his gaze over there.
In his experience, guys like this, who not only have conflicts with other characters but also have foul mouths, usually end up being the victims.
Coupled with the current situation where they only see a shadow but not the person in question, Lin Xiaofeng couldn't help but feel a sense of foreboding.
"Although the reflection of the light suggests that the other party is still alive, it's not uncommon for such techniques to create the illusion of being alive using light and shadow..."
His gaze subtly drifted towards the tent, watching as Duan Ye approached it. He then called out to Qi Yuan, "Qi Yuan! What happened just now was my fault. I know you didn't mean to hurt me... Qi Yuan! Qi Yuan?"
Lin Xiaofeng stared at the figure reflected in the lamplight, his brows furrowing sharply. He couldn't help but exclaim, "Something's not right!"
"Huh? What's wrong?" Everyone looked at him with a puzzled expression.
"Urushihara's squatting rhythm seems to be getting faster and faster, and he doesn't even pause at the slightest when Duan Ye calls out to him."
"Could it be that he was wearing headphones and didn't notice Duan Ye passing by?" Lu Ze suggested.
Lin Xiaofeng didn't reply to him, but looked at Conan: "Conan, go and take a look over at the tent."
"Okay!" Conan nodded, immediately stood up and ran towards the tent.
He also sensed something was amiss from Lin Xiaofeng's words, so he didn't mind going to take a look.
Even if it's just a misunderstanding, it's not too rude of him, a little kid, to bother them. He can easily get away with it by being cute.
At this moment, Duan Ye came back: "He's still ignoring me, but why did that child go over there too?"
Lu Ze laughed and said, "It was this young man who felt something was wrong, so he sent the child to take a look. But I think you're being a bit too sensitive, young man?"
Lin Xiaofeng glanced at him and said indifferently, "Just consider it an occupational hazard of mine."
"Occupational...condition?" The three members of the basketball club were all taken aback when they heard this.
“Yes!” Lin Xiaofeng nodded: “It’s an occupational hazard of a detective who frequently encounters murder cases.”
"Murder case... detective?" The expressions of the three members of the basketball club all changed!
"That's right!" Genta said proudly, "Brother Xiaofeng is a famous detective in Tokyo! He's the one who trained our Junior Detective Club!"
Lin Xiaofeng's lips twitched upon hearing this. Although he had indeed guided these kids to prevent them from causing trouble, to say that he had "personally" trained them...
Lin Xiaofeng said that this honor should be awarded to Conan.
Just as he thought of Conan, Conan's voice entered his ears.
"Oh no! The tent is on fire!"
Everyone's expression changed again! They all looked towards the tent.
At this moment, everything seemed normal on the front of the tent, but upon closer inspection, black smoke could be seen rising gradually.
"It's definitely on fire! Everyone, hurry and get water!" Lin Xiaofeng immediately shouted to the others.
Everyone was stunned for a moment, and then they all started to act.
Lin Xiaofeng stopped Shirley, who also wanted to fetch water, and said, "Let's go get the knives for processing food and see if we can cut open the tent and rescue the people!"
Upon hearing this, Shirley realized what was happening and immediately nodded, "I'll go get the knife!"
As the person in charge of cooking, no one knew the location of the knives better than her.
Lin Xiaofeng stood up and quickly ran towards the tent.
At this moment, Conan also emerged from behind the tent, followed closely by increasingly thick black smoke and flames.
"Put out the fire!" Conan shouted.
"I've already gone to fetch water!" Lin Xiaofeng replied succinctly.
"Knife!" Amidst hurried footsteps, Shirley ran over and handed the kitchen knife to Lin Xiaofeng.
Lin Xiaofeng took the knife and said, "We must cut out an entrance that one person can pass through!"
“Cut a fan shape along the zipper and the ground!” Shirley suggested.
"Okay!" Lin Xiaofeng glanced at the tent and immediately understood what to do.
