Chapter 392 Murder?

"Wow, you can see the whole forest here—"

Sitting on the slowly climbing cable car, Mao Lilan stuck to the glass window, looking longingly at the lush trees on the mountain.

"yes……"

Conan put aside the previous quarrel that he had inadvertently smashed into the back of his mind. He followed Mao Lilan's example and climbed onto the seat, holding the back of the chair and looking at the scenery down the mountain.

The weather is gradually getting cooler, and the midsummer is slowly getting a bit of cool autumn.

The lush forests are still thriving, and they look green and full of vitality.

Counting the days, Conan found with some regret that his summer vacation had gradually come to an end.

"quack--"

The sky was clear, without a trace of cloud, and a few black birds flapping their wings flew far away in the sky.

Occasionally, a distant cry came from the gloomy and gloomy.

The sparrows in the forest seemed to be alarmed by the lifting cable car, and flew away with a "chuss".

Conan pressed his forehead against the cool glass, watching the moving scenery, and felt relieved for a moment.

"It's rare for Tachibana to do something good, but that guy should still be sleeping right now, it's a pity to miss such a sight."

In the afternoon, the mountains and forests are shrouded in hazy mist.

Conan thought about something, and enjoyed the scenery leisurely, and his mind gradually emptied.

The well-decorated manor gradually became smaller. Originally, only a part of the courtyard could be seen, but gradually it was possible to overlook the whole manor.

The dark red roof tiles reflected a pale golden gleam under the gradually setting sun.

Under the erosion of years and wind and rain, the milky white brick wall shows a light yellow vicissitudes.

"It's really grand."

Conan just secretly praised this exquisite manor with a sense of age, when he suddenly froze in place.

wait!what is that--

Conan accidentally caught sight of a scene in a window on the second floor on the north side of the classical manor, and his pupils shrank suddenly.

"That is--"

Honjo Mourozo, who was still arguing with Akamaru Goro outside the house just now, was facing the window sideways, holding something up with a ferocious expression, and suddenly smashed it on the head of Akamaru Goro, who had his back turned to him.

what? !

Conan subconsciously gripped the railing tightly, eager to see more clearly what happened in the room below.

However, the slowly climbing cable car did not operate according to Conan's wishes, and continued to climb to a higher height. The windows that could be seen in a blink of an eye disappeared because of the height and angle of the cable car.

"What's wrong Conan?"

Mao Lilan, who was sitting on the other side of the cable car enjoying the beautiful scenery, heard Conan's movement, sat next to Conan with concern, and asked, "Did something happen?"

Conan was restless recalling the fleeting scene just now, looking at Mao Lilan's purely concerned eyes, Conan didn't know whether he should tell Xiaolan about the scene that he didn't know if it was an illusion, so as to destroy her original relaxation Mood.

"I'm fine, sister Xiaolan."

After hesitating for a while, Conan decided to wait until he got off the cable car, and go to the place where the incident happened first, or try to test Morozo Honjo by himself.

Obviously, Xiaolan suffered a series of incidents such as bombing and murder in Osaka not long ago. It is rare to see her showing such a relaxed and innocent smile again. Conan doesn't want to break Mao Lilan's happiness because of an undecided speculation.

"I just suddenly felt a little stomachache and wanted to go to the bathroom."

As Conan said, he reset his position, touched his unmoving belly with one hand, and scratched the back of his head subconsciously with the other hand.

"So this is ah."

Mao Lilan carefully observed Conan's expression, and felt relieved when he saw that there was not much pain on his face.

"Then Conan, you have to bear with it," Mao Lilan touched Conan's hair comfortingly, "You have to wait for the cable car to stop before you can go, don't worry too much."

"All right--"

Conan pretended to be a little frustrated, but he was relieved in his heart.

but
Conan couldn't help but secretly sighed in his heart when he thought of the scene of Muluzo Honjo's suspected murder that he accidentally saw just now.

If it wasn't for my own dazzled eyes, then Mr. Akamaru who was hit hard... I'm afraid it's already a disaster.

Thinking of this, Conan fidgeted and looked towards the house below the cable car. Should he tell Tachibana about this?

Just when Conan was hesitating whether to ask Tachibana for advice and help, Tachibana, who had been so noisy by the sudden system tasks and lost the desire to go back to sleep, had rearranged his clothes and went downstairs to find someone.

"Mr. Tachibana?"

Tachibana, who was neatly tied with a tie, wandered aimlessly among the busy waiters shuttling around the banquet hall, looking particularly eye-catching and maverick.

Nagasaki Jiro, who was checking the number of goblets with the waiter, looked up and saw the second young master of the Tachibana family who stood out in temperament, appearance, and height.

After being specially instructed by Honjo Muluzang to entertain this great god, Nagasaki Jiro hurriedly and the waiter gave a few final instructions, and then hurriedly greeted Tachibana who turned his head to look here because of his shout.

"Mr. Tachibana, are you resting well? Are you looking for something?"

"Well, thank Mr. Honjo for your hospitality."

Tachibana doesn't like being close to strange humans, just like humans don't like sticking with cream cheese sandwich bread.

"Excuse me, is Mr. Akamaru Goro here?"

Tachibana stepped back a little sideways without any trace, and distanced himself from the enthusiastic Nagasaki Jiro who came forward.

"That very talented and well-known translator, of course he is also an excellent wine lover."

Immediately afterwards, Tachibana added another sentence: "I have read some translations of Mr. Akamaru, and their writing skills are very profound. I heard that he has a good relationship with Mr. Honjo. He will come to Mr. Hirose's birthday party, so I intend to Make friends with him."

"Mr. Akamaru"

Nagasaki Jiro, who was fully focused on what Tachibana said, did not notice Tachibana's small movement of backing away quietly. He recalled it seriously for a while, and said with some uncertainty: "Mr. Akamaru seems to have not come yet. But Ben Mr. Cheng has already sent an invitation to Akamaru, and he should come to the banquet later."

Nagasaki Jiro added courteously, "Of course, I think Mr. Akamaru would be very happy if he knew Mr. Tachibana's thoughts, and I will help you keep an eye on his situation. If he appears , I will inform you in time."
