Chapter 237 My suggestion is to call the police
The sudden appearance of the man made everyone stunned for a moment.
This is the wilderness, and even camping here is an extremely remote place. Dr. Agasa found out about this by accident.
They had been playing for the whole morning and hadn't seen anyone else, but they didn't expect that a second family would come here to camp, and they asked them to borrow something right away.
The man looked quite kind. He wore a pair of black-framed glasses, looked gentle and polite when he spoke.
Even though he saw that there was only one adult among the group of children, he still smiled and nodded to Ayumi and the others before looking at Professor Agasa to borrow a cup.
This detailed action immediately made the children feel good about it.
But Conan noticed that Bai Zhi had been staring at the man with a calm expression, revealing an imperceptible coldness.
"Did you bring the ice from home?" Dr. Agasa was a little surprised: "The ice didn't melt?"
"Yes, we came here today to preserve some ice cubes with dry ice. We wanted to have cold drinks here, but we forgot to bring cups." The man was a little embarrassed: "By the way, I forgot to introduce myself. My name is Yamamoto Ueki. Thank you for your guidance."
"Ah, please give me some advice." Dr. Agasa was a little embarrassed by Yamamoto Ueki's politeness, so he had to get up and get a cup for Yamamoto Ueki: "Do you think this cup is okay?"
"Sure, sure. If you don't mind, can you lend me both?" Yamamoto Ueki took the cup with surprise. "We plan to divide the ice into several portions. Once we have poured the drinks, we will return the cup."
"Don't worry, we will wash you clean. We brought a lot of purified water." Yamamoto Ueki quickly added, as if afraid that the few people would not agree.
"Oh, that doesn't matter..." Dr. Agasa scratched his head.
"Big brother, are you hurt?" Conan suddenly interrupted. Everyone looked in the direction Conan was looking and saw a bright red mark on the inside of Yamamoto Ueki's left palm.
"Ah? Oh, you mean that?" Yamamoto Ueki subconsciously took his hand back and looked at it, then smiled and said, "Maybe I accidentally rubbed it just now."
"Then I will come back to return the cups later. Thank you." After saying that, Yamamoto Ueki took the several water cups sent by Dr. Agasa and walked towards the jungle.
From this angle, they could vaguely see a car and a few people in the distance. Perhaps because they had pitched their tents deeper in the jungle, Mitsuhiko and his companions could not see any tents or picnic mats around.
"Huh? I didn't expect that someone would come to such a remote place." Ayumi said while eating a sandwich.
"It's not that remote actually. It used to be a place that many people would come to." Dr. Agasa explained, "But later a factory was built here, which caused some pollution to the environment, and gradually no one came here anymore."
After all, picnics and camping are all about fresh air and pure nature. If the environment is polluted, what’s the difference between that and eating on the grass at your doorstep?
"Although the factory closed down due to poor management and the environment here has gradually returned to normal, few people come here." Dr. Agasa said regretfully: "I also heard that this place has been abandoned for a long time before I brought you here."
"Conan, what's wrong with you?" Ayumi blinked. She noticed that Conan seemed to have been distracted just now, so she put her little hand in front of Conan and waved: "Conan?"
"...Ah, oh, nothing..." Conan felt strange as he watched Yamamoto Ueki leave.
"What's wrong? Did you find anything wrong?" Huibara asked.
"Well, that person just now seemed to be lying." Conan looked thoughtfully into the depths of the jungle.
"Eh!? Really?" Mitsuhiko immediately exclaimed in surprise, and Genta and Ayumi also widened their eyes in surprise.
"It rained here the day before yesterday, right?" Conan pondered, "And when Yamamoto Ueki came here just now, there were some mud spots on his pants, but they have dried up. At least he came here yesterday, but Yamamoto Ueki just said, today."
"Could it be because when I came here this morning, I stepped into a puddle or something at home?" Haibara Ai guessed.
"No, the soil in the city is very different from the soil here. Even if he didn't stay here yesterday, he should be nearby." Conan said, "And he just said that the wound on his hand was accidentally scratched... I always feel weird, it shouldn't be a scratch."
"But why did Mr. Yamamoto lie?" Ayumi couldn't understand.
"Yeah, if they were here to do something bad, they should have avoided us, right?" Huihara Ai wondered: "Besides, the probability of them having bad intentions is very small, right? We are here to camp, not to shop."
Most people who come camping don’t bring much money. Basically, they only bring some practical things, such as food, tents, water, etc., which are not worth much money at all.
What's more, in such a remote place, even if you bring a lot of money, you can't use it. Even if you want to rob them, you can't come after them, right?
"Baizhi, what do you think?" Conan looked at Baizhi.
"Hmm?" Bai Zhi, who was silently sipping juice, raised her eyebrows when she was suddenly asked, "Why, did the little apprentice come to the master for help because of difficulties?"
Conan: "Hello..."
He is serious, okay?
"Eh? Wait! Conan, when did you become Sister Baizhi's apprentice?" Ayumi's eyes widened like copper bells. She looked at the white paper and then at Conan: "How could you secretly become Sister Baizhi's apprentice?"
"That's right! Too cunning!" Guangyan also widened his eyes in dissatisfaction: "How could you secretly possess Sister Baizhi!"
"That's right, as a member of the Junior Detective Team, you don't even know how to share!" Yuan Tai also said angrily: "I also want to be Sister Baizhi's apprentice!"
Bai Zhi: "('w')? ...Share?"
Is she some kind of small cake? Do we need to share? One bite each, right?
"-_-|| Hey, you guys..." Conan held his forehead helplessly: "This is not the point now, I am serious."
"Okay, I won't tease you anymore." Bai Zhi giggled and put down the juice: "Indeed, he is lying. My suggestion is to call the police."
Everyone: “Hmm? (Σ°□°)…”
Everyone: "Σ(っ°Д°;)っeheheh!?!?!?"
Is it that serious!?
"Hush." Bai Zhi put a finger to her lips and laughed softly, "Everyone will be safe for a while, so don't alert the enemy."
"Wait, wait..." Conan was confused.
How did it suddenly develop to this point? Why did we suddenly have to call the police?
"Idiot, can't you see that his hand is not injured at all." Bai Zhi raised her left hand, spread out her palm, and pointed to the place where Yamamoto Shigeki had just smeared blood.
"Although I only took a quick glance, I can tell from the blood that it was definitely not the blood that would appear on my own wound. It could only have come from someone else."
"Yamamoto Ueki had no idea about it, which means it was an accident. But if it was an accidental rub, there would be such a large amount of bleeding. That person must have lost a lot of blood."
