Rebirth of Conan as a Detective

Chapter 384: Journey of Sentences in Songjiang

"I'm so sorry, are you Detective Kido?"

At Shin-Osaka Station, when Gao Chengcai stepped out of the station, he met an intellectually dressed woman in her thirties or forties who came to greet her with a girl.

"I called you just now. Because I heard about you from my friends, I thought I hope you will come anyway. Didn't it cause you any trouble?"

"No, no," Gao Cheng laughed, "Actually, I'm also very interested in poetry, but is it okay to find me a layman?"

"No," the intellectual woman chuckled, "It's an honor for us at the Osaka Lianjuhui to invite Detective Kido as the guest of honor. To be honest, we've been talking about the Taiko Treasure case before... oh, almost I forgot to introduce, my name is Reiko Ando, ​​and I am currently working as an assistant professor in the Department of Chinese Humanities at Osaka Junior College..."

"Are you a teacher?"

"Yes, this is my student, Mizushiro Kawaguchi, who works in the library."

"You, hello." The shy girl next to her wore a pair of thick glasses and her hair was tied back. It was probably because of work, she still looked like a high school girl.

"Detective Kido, let me take you to the hotel first. We will gather for Shimane Prefecture tomorrow morning."

"Trouble."

Gao Cheng smiled wryly.

Why did you agree before?

It was originally for free travel, but Xiao Ai didn't follow.

And after reading haiku books for a few days, I don’t even know what this sentence is about...

"Detective Kido doesn't need to worry," Kawaguchi Mizushiro said carefully with his head lowered. "Actually, a kanku is similar to a haiku, but there are many people answering the sentences..."

"I don't know if there is any information related to consecutive sentences..."

"If Detective Kido is interested," Reiko Ando said with a smile, "I can give you the book I wrote later, which is about getting started with connecting sentences."

"It couldn't be better."

...

next morning,

Gao Cheng met other people from the Lianju Club on the train.

Two young people, one named Yagi Sawa, with a mustache, looks like an artist with long hair, 32 years old, runs a pastry shop in Osaka, and the other is Shiina Ryosuke, gentle, wearing glasses, 38 years old, is a dentist.

There is also a middle-aged uncle who talks about investing all the time, called Niu Chuan Gangsan.

"Teacher Lizi, I didn't expect you to be able to invite a famous detective here," the middle-aged uncle Niu Xi sat alone in the window seat, with raised eyebrows and hooked nose, he looked like a difficult man The big boss who was close to him looked at Gao Chengdao curiously, "You are detectives, you can earn a lot of money, right?"

"Where..." Gao Cheng laughed dryly, "Actually, you can't make any money in many cases."

"Don't lie to me," Niu Yu said in disbelief, "We paid a lot of money to invite you here this time, and the usual appearance fee should not be low."

"fine……"

Gao Cheng has black lines all over his head.

What is a lot of money, he will come here because of the strong request of old customers...

"Detective Kido," Yagi Zeqiao took the initiative to help change the subject, "Actually, we even made a couple of sentences about your Taiko Treasure case before. I didn't expect to meet you, a great detective, and to know more about Japan. What a great opportunity for a first detective!"

"Japan, the number one detective in Japan?" Gao Cheng was taken aback.

He doesn't have the qualifications yet, does he?

"Yes," the dentist Ryosuke Shiina laughed, "To be honest, a friend told me a lot about you before, saying that you are the rarest detective he has ever seen!"

"Haha, is there?" Gao Cheng asked curiously, "That friend of yours is..."

"Kido Kido?" Uncle Maori poked his head out from the next carriage suddenly, and his eyebrows sank when he saw Gao Cheng, "I'm still wondering who is brazenly claiming to be the number one detective in Japan, and it really is you! Hmph, what a ghost How come I run into you every time I go out?"

"Uncle?"

Gao Cheng tilted his body and looked towards the next carriage with a wry face.

Since the uncle is here, that means...

"Brother Kido," Conan climbed up the back of the seat in surprise, "Why are you here? Are you going to Songjiang too?"

"really……"

Gao Cheng rubbed his brows.

"Detective Kido," Lianju will make everyone look at Uncle Maoli in doubt, "this is..."

Uncle Mao Li coughed, straightened his collar and said, "Actually, my name is Kogoro Mao Li, and I'm a private detective..."

"Maori Kogoro?"

"Could it be that big detective from Tokyo?"

After a few sentences, everyone looked at each other in blank dismay.

A famous detective who is rarely seen by chance unexpectedly ran into him on the way...

"Speaking of which," Gao Cheng got up and walked to the aisle of the carriage, looking at Uncle, Conan and Xiaolan with half-closed eyes, "Why are you in this car?"

Xiaolan glanced at the uncle who was still drinking beer: "Because Dad happened to draw a travel ticket in the shopping street, so he took us out to play...he emphasized it several times along the way, right, Conan?"

"That's right," Conan nodded, "Uncle only has a lottery, and no one has ever compared it!"

"What are you talking about?" Uncle Mao Li snorted, "Why is there only a lottery draw? The same goes for other things. I won't lose to anyone when it comes to solving crimes..."

"hehe."

Gao Cheng rolled his eyes and turned his head away.

Speaking of the lottery, he has never won, and he can't beat this family in mahjong...

"What about you brother Kido?" Conan asked curiously.

"We are going on a trip of connecting sentences," Gao Cheng pointed to Shiina Ryosuke and his group, "After arriving in Songjiang, there will be a connecting sentence meeting tomorrow..."

"Sentence? What is a sequence?"

"Hey, there's something you don't understand too."

Gao Cheng regained a little confidence.

"To put it simply, connecting sentences is a sentence-connecting game played by multiple people, that is, connecting songs..."

"I don't think you are very clear, are you?" Conan asked suspiciously.

"Humph."

...

It was already afternoon when we arrived in Matsue, Shimane Prefecture, because they all lived in the same hotel, Gao Cheng and the members of the Lianju Club got off the bus and visited Matsue Castle with Uncle Mori.

The uncle immediately got along with the people from Lianjuhui: "When it comes to Songjiang, the first thing that comes to mind is Songjiang Castle. You can see the panoramic view of Shidao Lake from the city. The most popular thing about Shidao Lake is the Shidao here. Seven treasures..."

"Dad," Xiaolan walked up to the Shiroyama Inari Shrine with her bag on her shoulders, "what are the seven treasures?"

"It's the perch, white fish, weak fish, clams, prawns, carp, and eels that are produced here..."

"Mr. Mori knows it really well. Have you ever been to Matsue before?" Reiko Ando walked behind Uncle Mori leisurely.

"I used to fish in Lake Shido, haha," Uncle Mori proudly led the crowd past an old Japanese mansion, "This is the former residence of Yakumo Koizumi, his earless Hoichi and Yukino The most famous…”

Gao Cheng walked beside Conan with his hands intertwined, his brows twitching.

The uncle is probably blowing again. I must have read a book like a travel guide when I came here...
