Chapter 157 156· Draw inferences from one instance
"Ms. Takahashi is not the real Miss Takahashi, but Miss Yuxiang is pretending to be her because she wants to find her own treasure."

Qianxue Meiyi said with bright eyes.

Bai Chuan touched his chin and nodded slightly.

A smile appeared on Qianxue Meiyi's lips after receiving the affirmation.

"Mei-san is already able to draw inferences from one case to another, which is really good."

Shirakawa praised, but the identification technique showed that this is the real Miss Takahashi. What a pity, Mei-san guessed wrong this time.

Qianxue Meiyi's cheeks were slightly red and she said shyly,

"It's all because I have been staying with Kuraki-kun recently and came into contact with many cases of identity exchange and identity replacement, so I thought of it. However, this is not in line with the situation of solving the mystery of Takahashi Shuntai's death."

"Yes, Mei-san is really smart."

"Kuragi-kun has already said this once."

While the two were chatting and laughing, they suddenly heard the sound of high heels approaching.

They turned around and saw the female anchor Kojima Aiko in cool clothes.

"Detective boy, I always think your voice sounds familiar. Have we met somewhere?"

Kojima Zizi leaned against the door and yawned lazily.

"No, Miss Kojima must have misunderstood. My voice is very ordinary. Maybe many people have this voice."

Bai Chuan didn't want to bring back the memories of Kojima Zizi. It was just a trivial thing and it couldn't bring the two people closer.

"Okay, let's go. Before it's dinner time, let's go out and hunt for treasures together."

Kojima Zizi took the initiative to extend the invitation. Shirakawa looked at Chiyuki Mei and saw that she had no intention of refusing, so he nodded.

When the three of them walked downstairs, they found that almost everyone was gathered in the living room.

"Because there are only three walkie-talkies, I suggest everyone go out in groups to explore. This way you can contact us in time if you encounter any problems. After all, this is a virgin forest."

The proposal of the old gentleman Shuichi Oba was approved by most people.

"In this case, we will be divided into three groups. Me, Kuraki-kun and Miss Kojima must be separated and serve as temporary group leaders. Everyone can freely choose which group leader to follow."

Oba Shuichi said.

Kojima Zizi showed a regretful expression. She still wanted to be paired with Kuraki-kun, but if they were assigned like this, her wish would be in vain.

After that, everyone started to select teams.

Reporter Keisuke Koyama and lawyer Hiromi Ichimura, who have been familiar with each other for a long time, both stood behind Shuichi Oba. The timid and inferior engineer Tokuji Furuta also chose Shuichi Oba.

"Haha, aren't there any ladies willing to come to my place? If not, then we will form a group of old bachelors."

Oba Shuichi said with a smile.

Haha, you are really good at making fun of yourself. What qualifications does an old man with a gentle wife and lovely lover have to call himself an old bachelor?
Bai Chuan cursed.

Those who chose to stand behind Kojima were the modern poet Keiji Yajima, the two blond siblings John Sally, and the makeup artist Asuka Kuramoto.

The remaining five people, including the doctor and his wife, the lovers in love, and the former mercenaries, were all people who did not choose a team, and were automatically assigned to Baichuan's group.

This resulted in Baichuan's group having two more people than the old gentleman's group.

Former mercenary Tanita Fu thought about it, and finally joined the old men's bachelor group formed by the old gentleman.

Shirakawa was a little surprised. Nishi Shunji, Tashiro Yoriko, John and Sally, after some in-depth exchanges, these four people were not divided into a group. It was simply surprising.

Is this the legendary distinction between public and private?

"Hey, Mr. Da Ting is an old bachelor group, what about us? Let's also think of a loud name."

Nishi Shunji suggested.

"Why don't we call it the Treasure Hunting Youth Group? Thanks to the influence of Kuraki-kun and Mei-san, our group has the youngest average age."

said the lively Yoriko Tashiro.

Seo Masao shook his head, "I have no objection."

"I do not have either."

His wife Shizuru Hanada said.

Bai Chuan shook his head,

"It's better not to call us such exaggerated names, and it's just a temporary team. Maybe everyone will separate tomorrow."

Hearing what Shirakawa said, Tashiro Yiko glanced and said, "Well, it seems that the great detective doesn't plan to take us with him."

"Is everyone ready? We are about to set off."

Da Ting Xiuyi waved his cane and led a group of middle-aged men out of the manor.

At the gate of the manor, when the three teams were about to separate, Shuichi Oba seemed to remember something and took out a hand-drawn map.
"This is the map I just asked the steward to draw for us. Please take a photo with your mobile phone to avoid getting lost."

"As expected of Mr. Da Ting, he is very considerate in his work."

Kojima Zizi praised it and took a photo with her mobile phone.

Others also took photos one after another, and then left the manor with the team.

Baichuan took Qianyuki Mei's hand and said, "Let's go, we're leaving too."

Qianxue Meiyi nodded slightly.

Outside the manor was a dense original forest. Baichuan took out a compass and said, "Let's go find the natural hot spring."

And judging from the content of the love letter, Shirakawa feels that natural hot springs are a key point.

Of course, he also wanted to visit the spot in advance. If the hot spring area was safe enough, he could take Qianyuki Mei to the hot spring.

Nishi Shunji, Seo Masao and others had no objections.

Hanada Shizuru rarely traveled with her husband, so she was full of curiosity about everything.

Her husband Seo Masao seemed to want to use this time to change his unchanging life of making noise, so he took his wife with him and took a long vacation to hunt for treasures.

Unfortunately, when he saw his wife now, his eyes were still full of disgust.

In contrast, the girl Qianyuki Mei with stunning appearance and peaceful temperament became a ray of white moonlight in his eyes, reminding him of his first love.

"I wonder how Yuka is doing now."

Seo Masao sighed in a low voice, but his wife Shizuru Hanada, who was the closest, heard him, and the light in her eyes suddenly dimmed a bit.Qianyuki Mei didn't like the way the doctor looked at her, so she held her hand tighter. Bai Chuan looked down at her, her cheeks were slightly red,
"Kuragi-kun, I'm sorry."

"It's okay, it's rare for Mei-kun to be so proactive."

Qianxue Meiyi's face turned redder.

The few people continued to move deeper into the forest, and saw some animal traps on the way. They guessed that they were placed by the housekeeper or the staff of the former manor. These traps were already rusty.

“The scenery here is really nice.”

Nishi Shunji sighed.

"Yes, this is my first time in the original forest."

Tashiro Yiko said.

"Would you like to share any clues and information?"

The doctor suddenly suggested, probably because he wanted to make his presence felt in front of the beautiful girl.

Bai Chuan glanced at him, said nothing, and continued to move forward.

Tashiro Yiko and Nishi Shunji began to discuss quietly whether they should venture to the attic at night.

"It's better not to do it. Mr. Butler said you can't go to the attic."

Hanada Shizuru reminded the two young people.

But they met with a blank stare.

"Madam, it's because you are too boring that you can't keep your husband's heart. Dr. Seo has never looked at you."

Tashiro Yiko covered her mouth and chuckled.

Nishi Shunji lowered his head and kissed Tashiro Yiko.
"Yes, if you really like someone, your eyes will never leave her."

The cheeks of the full-time housewife Shizuru Hanada turned red instantly, feeling that she had been humiliated.

The doctor was sulking because his suggestion had not been taken seriously. He didn't care about his wife's mood at all.

Qianxue Meiyi frowned and pinched Shirakawa again.

Baichuan realized the displeasure of his female companion. He turned back to look at the young couple and said,

"People who are passionately in love are not qualified to judge couples who have been married for many years. Even the most loving couple will have hundreds of thoughts of divorce in their lives. Dr. Seo and Mrs. Hanada just sublimated their love into family ties. They are a pair A normal couple."

Hearing Shirakawa's description, Hanada Shizuru was slightly startled, feeling that he was comforted by the young man.

Dr. Seo also seems to have found a soulmate, focusing on the phrase "I want to get divorced countless times."

He looked at Bai Chuan with a little more affection.

Tashiro Yiko opened her mouth, as if she wanted to defend something, but in the end she didn't say anything.

It feels like arguing with a detective and whatever you say will be dismissed.

Shunji Nishi hugged his girlfriend's waist and said with a smile, "We will definitely still be as loving as each other after we get married."

"No, marriage is the grave of love. Who wants to marry you?"

"If you don't want to marry me, then who do you want to marry? It can't be John, right?"

Nishi Junji suddenly asked with some jealousy.

Bai Chuan shook his head and ignored the dog couple.

He was carrying a shotgun, but he didn't see a single wild animal, probably because the sound of human walking scared away nearby animals.

After walking for about half an hour, he realized that the housewife and female college student seemed to be unable to hold on any longer. Baichuan chose to renovate by a creek.

"Everyone, let's rest here."

"I'm so exhausted, my legs are sore."

Tashiro Yiko complained, and her boyfriend Nishi Shunji immediately squatted down and beat her legs.

Shirakawa also handed the water bottle in his backpack to Qianyuki Mei, "Are you thirsty?"

Huatian Jingliu endured the soreness of her legs and went to the stream to fetch water for her husband.

Bai Chuan shook his head. It is hard to imagine that in this era, there are still remnants of this era left.

Hanada Jingliu's family status is really worrying.

After receiving the water from her husband, Hanada Jingliu patted his legs and squeezed his shoulders, but she didn't hear a word of praise from her husband. It seemed that everything was as it should be.

She couldn't help but look back at the two pairs of young people next to her, with a look of envy in her eyes.

"Okay, no need."

Realizing the look Mei Chiyuki was looking at, Dr. Seo said to his wife impatiently.

Hanada Jingliu could only sit back and drink water lonely.

Chiyuki Mei walked up to Hanada Shizuru and handed her a red apple.

She showed a gentle smile, "Thank you, Mei-chan."

"You're welcome."

Qianxue Meiyi blushed, turned around quickly, and trotted back to Shirakawa.

Her backpack was different from other women's. She didn't bring any cosmetics. She only carried fruits, cakes, potato chips, cola, beef cubes, lollipops, nougat, cookies, pudding, jerky and various puffed foods. , and picnic mats.

She originally wanted to take out the picnic mat, spread it on the ground, and have a pleasant picnic with Bai Chuan.

But looking at the atmosphere around her, she lost her courage.

These foods are still only suitable for sharing with people you like.

It would be great if Xinmei-chan and the others were here.

Qianxue Meiyi couldn't help but sigh.

boom--

A sudden gunshot in the forest scared away many birds and beasts, and also attracted the attention of several people.

 I couldn’t afford to stay up late to revise the article, so I finally posted it on time!
