Chapter 334: Uncle Machida's Family

A moment later, in a villa in the snow.

Well, this house is quite big and can barely be called a villa.

Everyone came into the villa. Uncle Machida sat on the sofa while others were visiting everything in his house.

Ze Yu stood beside Uncle Machida, glanced at him, and said teasingly: "Speaking of which, old man, you are quite courageous. You dare to invite Conan to come with you."

"Conan? Are you referring to the little boy in a suit next to him?" Uncle Machida asked in confusion, "What's wrong with him?"

"This guy is a disaster." Ze Yu smiled and winked, "If you take the initiative to invite him into your home, something bad will probably happen."

"I'm not afraid of these." Uncle Machida, who didn't know anything about science, didn't care and waved his hand casually.

Ze Yu smiled mysteriously: "You will know later."

Uncle Machida looked like he didn't care.

His wife is dead and he is the only one at home. Would he be afraid of these things?
Haibara Ai stood aside, observing a specimen of a red-crowned crane with great interest.

According to Uncle Machida, some red-crowned cranes that died of illness or old age will be made into specimens and donated to schools or museums.

The red-crowned crane specimen he keeps at home will also be donated after a while.

At this time, the door of the living room was pushed open, and another uncle came over with tea.

The uncle was not young either, at least in his 50s. He placed the tea on the table and said politely, "Welcome everyone."

"This is my younger brother, Abao, an unknown painter." Uncle Machida, who was sitting on the sofa, folded his arms and said with dignity.

He is the only one living in his home. As for his younger brother, he moved in temporarily a while ago and is considered a guest.

"Brother, there's no need to mention the word 'not famous'." A Bao smiled helplessly.

Ze Yu raised his head and glanced at Abao.

Ze Yu knew both of these brothers, but he had a better relationship with the older brother Machida, and they were considered good friends. As for the younger brother Machida...

Ze Yu and he don't get along, so they can only be considered acquaintances, not friends.

And they were acquaintances who hadn't seen each other for a long time. They hadn't seen each other for at least more than ten years.

When Ze Yu looked at A Bao, A Bao also noticed his gaze, and then subconsciously lowered his head and looked at Ze Yu.

A Bao showed a surprised expression: "Yu, I didn't expect you to be here too? Long time no see."

"Yeah, little thing." Ze Yu rolled his eyes and replied unhappily.

He doesn't like this guy.

Abao didn't care about Zeyu's address, because he knew that the other party never liked him very much.

He's already used to it.

Uncle Machida raised his finger and pointed at Uncle Maori who was standing not far away, and introduced: "This is Mr. Maori from Tokyo, and here are Xiaolan and Conan."

"Hello, I'm a private detective!" Uncle Maori adjusted his collar and showed a serious expression.

"Are you the famous 'Sleeping Kogoro'?" Abao was a little surprised.

"I didn't expect my name to have spread to Hokkaido..." Uncle Maori touched his head and laughed proudly. Just as the adults were exchanging pleasantries, Ze Yu's eyes suddenly flickered.

Conan noticed something was wrong and asked curiously, "Xiao Yu, what's wrong?"

"I heard two cars, and someone got out." Ze Yu shook his head and said, "According to the rhythm of the footsteps, it should be a man and a woman, and they are not young. Their steps are a little panicked, and they must be in a hurry. They are running towards this side."

"If I'm not mistaken..." Sawaha looked at Uncle Machida who was sitting on the sofa.

"A man and a woman? Their footsteps were so panicked?" Uncle Machida also heard what Sawaha said. He showed an angry expression as if he was disappointed in his friend and was very unhappy.

"It must be my two good-for-nothing children. How dare they come here?"

"Uncle Machida." Xiaolan asked curiously, "You live here alone. Isn't it good for your children to come visit you?"

Uncle Machida snorted in dissatisfaction: "How can they have me as a father in their hearts? All they care about is money!"

"You have to blame yourself for this." Ze Yu stretched out his index finger, shook it, and then accused: "As the saying goes, if a son is not taught well, it is the fault of the father."

"Your children are what you raise them to be. This is called 'reaping what you sow'."

"That's true." Uncle Machida sighed helplessly, "It's my fault for not disciplining them. Their mother doted on them too much before she passed away. These two good-for-nothings..."

"Don't talk about them." Ze Yu said, "You are also quite disappointing."

"Xiao Yu..." Xiao Lan looked at him with a worried look.

Even if Xiaoyu and Uncle Machida are close friends regardless of age difference, they shouldn't be so casual when talking to each other, right?
After all, he is your elder. What should you do if he gets angry?
After being accused by Sawaha, the hot-tempered Uncle Machida did not show any anger at all. He just remained silent and shook his head.

"Yu, you are absolutely right..."

Although Uncle Machida is old, he is in good health and should be able to continue working hard.

But he retired early, left his unpromising children behind, and came here to live out his retirement.

The reason why Uncle Machida retired early was partly because of his wife, but partly because he was angry with his children.

But he also taught his children.

From this, we can also see Uncle Machida’s incompetence. If he had the ability, would his family become like this?

After a few seconds, the door of the living room was pushed open and two young people rushed in, a man and a woman. They looked to be around 30 years old, not young.

They are the unfilial children of Uncle Machida.

Their faces were filled with anxiety, and they shouted loudly, "Dad! I heard that you are going to donate all your property to the village. Is that true?"

"Of course it's true." Uncle Machida's expression became very old-fashioned and full of majesty: "What are you two doing here?"

"How can this be? Your money should be left to us children!" the two said in panic.

"Leave it to you? Humph! Go earn your own money if you have the guts. What's your ability if you always come to me for money?" Uncle Machida said angrily, "I want to donate my money. Even after I die, someone will use the money to take care of the red-crowned cranes!"

"Are you kidding?" The young man gritted his teeth and said, "Instead of taking care of those stupid birds, you might as well leave the money to your son!"

The young woman next to him also said: "My clothing store is about to go bankrupt! I'm just waiting for my dad's money to support it!"
