Conan's other me

Chapter 99 School Festival ([-])
The cave was deeper than expected, but when they called for the second time, Conan and the others were almost at the exit there, so Fengyuan and Huiyuan Ai also had expectations about the distance.

Walking all the way, turning a few turns, the two noticed a not-deep current, and they could see fish swimming in it.

"These fish have eyes," Huiyuan Ai said to Fengyuan who was standing beside him after glancing at them with the light of the flashlight, "it might have swum in from a certain river outside the cave."

"So just walk along the river?"

"Mr. Detective really knows how to ask questions," Hui Yuanai said, "Let's go, I don't have time to continue playing such boring games."

The idea of ​​this "competition" was obviously thought up by the elementary school students after they learned that Fengbara and Haibara Ai were coming. Conan didn't even turn off the signal of his tracking glasses.

Walking along the water flow, the two of them soon saw that the water flow came from a slit above, and on the other side of the water flow, there was another hole.

There are a large number of bats hanging upside down above the cave.

The bats in the cave generally inhabit within 300 meters of the entrance, which also means that the two are close to the exit.

From the entrance of the cave, it is a relatively open area.What caught the eyes of the two were five dark holes and an egg-shaped stone placed on a rock directly in front of them.

On the side facing away from them, the inscriptions on the rock were almost the same as those on the outside, but clearer and unworn.

"Those who are lost in the darkness, please step towards the path of the dragon, the light of bliss will shine on you..."

Hui Yuanai looked at the stele and read it in his heart, but he didn't read it out.

Although cave bats don't respond visibly to the sound of normal speaking, she doesn't even want to try.

After reading it, she cast a urging look at Fengyuan.

This is obviously a puzzle that Fengyuan is not interested in solving.

Fengyuan thought for a while, found a few stones and placed an arrow pointing the direction on the side of the stele, then walked towards the left.

There is only one opening on the left and four on the right.

And the tracking glasses show that Conan and the others are on the left.

After walking in, Hui Yuanai spoke again.

"So there is no treasure here, and those two steles are only used to guide the way."

"Yes." Fengyuan replied, "an annoying riddler."

It took so much effort to get two steles to guide the lost, but it was so obscure.

Hui Yuanai didn't bother to think, and cast a curious look directly.

"It's Japanese shogi," Kaedehara explained, "The hiragana [と] on the outside is the character engraved on the back of the [Infantry] piece, and the back of the [Speed ​​Chariot] piece is engraved with [Dragon King], which is the so-called path of the dragon."

"And if the egg is pronounced as [Yuzi], then the front entrance is [Wang Jiang]," Hui Yuanai continued, "This guy is really boring."

Feng Yuan deeply agrees.

With his original thinking mode, he couldn't think of Japanese shogi, something he had never been exposed to before, so he didn't think of it at first. It wasn't until he tried to figure out the thinking of Kudo Yusaku and Kudo Shinichi in his memory that he thought of Japanese shogi.

However, he did not find his way by solving puzzles.

After walking another hundred meters, and meeting the elementary school students who were waiting for them near the exit, the Boy Detective Team set off back to the campsite and started their business today.

……

Time continues to flow.

In the next few days, Conan had a very boring life.

I don't know why, but he didn't encounter a single case.There was no commission from Uncle Mao Li, not even a commission from the detective team to find a cat.

In such a peaceful day, time seems to pass quickly, and soon it will be the day of the Teidan High School School Festival.

"Where's Huiyuan?"

At the performance venue of the school festival, Conan followed Uncle Mori to find Xiaolan who was preparing for the performance, and asked Fengyuan in a low voice.

Because it is an important performance every year, although it is a pity that Shinichi was busy with the case and could not come back, Xiaolan still invited many people.

She invited all her former friends and neighbors, including Conan, Fengyuan, Haiyuan and Dr. Ali.Among them, Dr. A Li couldn't come to terms because he was going to promote his invention these days.

"She has been very busy these days and has things to do." Fengyuan replied in a low voice.In fact, she doesn't like too many people like this, and there may be occasions where the camera shoots.

"An antidote?"

Conan's eyes lit up.

These days, he asked Hui Yuan Ai about the antidote several times, but Hui Yuan Ai evaded them all by saying "you two are in a special situation".

The problem was, he couldn't argue with that.

So even though he wanted to recover his body as soon as possible, Conan still accepted the reality.

"Maybe." Feng Yuan replied ambiguously.

"What is possibility?" Conan complained, "You two will be together tomorrow and tomorrow, but you don't even know this."

"I don't think about changing back every day, so why ask this."

Fengbara is not interested in temporarily turning back to Kudo Shinichi - after all, he doesn't have a "Xiaolan" who needs to grow up to meet, so he basically doesn't ask about the antidote to Haibara Ai.

Hui Yuanai also rarely raised it.

So what Fengbara knows is actually similar to what Conan knows.

"Forget it," Conan replied, "It's too late anyway."

Thinking about taking a bath with Xiaolan two weeks ago, Conan felt that it would be nice to be a child for a while.And if Xiaolan finds out that he is Shinichi at this time, then he will be finished.

So Conan thinks it is better to be honest for a while.

"Hey! You two follow closely!" Uncle Mao Li shouted back, "There are so many people, be careful not to get lost!"

"Know it!"

Fengyuan and Conan finished their conversation and hurriedly followed.

Xiaolan hasn't changed her clothes yet, she is still wearing casual clothes, hiding behind the scenes to watch the crowds of spectators outside.

"Why are there so many people?" Xiaolan asked nervously, "It's our turn to play next..."

"Because this drama was highly rated before, and it is said to be more beautiful than 'Romeo and Juliet'!" Sonoko leaned beside Xiaolan and looked at the auditorium excitedly.

"Sister Xiaolan!" Conan shouted.

"Ah," Xiaolan turned around, "You guys are here!"

"Sister Xiaolan, sister Yuanzi." Fengyuan also greeted.

"Hello Xiaoxinyi!" Sonoko responded to Fengyuan with a smile, while Conan's face was black.

"Xiaolan, since your husband has something to do and can't come, why don't you let this child act," Yuanzi hugged Xiaolan affectionately, but his wrist looked unnatural, "It looks like your husband no matter what!"

"Ahem!" Uncle Mao Li quickly coughed to strengthen his sense of existence.

"What are you talking about, Sonoko!" Xiaolan said, "And when Conan took off his glasses, it's exactly the same as when he was a child, right, Conan?"

"Um…"

"Sonoko, can you come here?" A man wearing glasses and looking very quiet came over, "I have a question about a line..."

"Xiaokong, you haven't seen the new doctor, have you?" Seeing Yuanzi walk by, Xiaolan introduced, "He is the school doctor of our school."

"He played the leading role several times when he was a student, and his acting skills are great. We asked him to pass on his experience in Yuanzi." Xiaolan then said to everyone.

"But, Sister Sonoko's hand seems to be injured, can she still act?" Conan looked worried, he had now accepted the reality that Sonoko was going to perform a "kissing scene" with Xiaolan, and he didn't want any other accidents to happen.

After all, it is better for Sonoko to act than other boys.

"Oh... Yuanzi accidentally sprained her hand during the rehearsal," Xiaolan replied, "But we adjusted the script, so it doesn't matter if we continue acting. You will be surprised!"

"Okay, it's almost time, let's go to the auditorium first." Uncle Mao Li glanced at his watch, "Xiao Lan, don't be too nervous!"
