Chapter 353 Mountain Villa

"How dare you do it right under my nose? Are you looking down on me?" Uncle Maori was a little unhappy.

"Tomorrow, when I go up the mountain, I will catch this guy with my own hands!" Uncle Maori said this aggressively, waving his fist.

Hearing this, Eita Kakuta silently covered his pocket tightly. In his pocket, there was a knife.

This is Silver Fox's knife. He threw a flying knife at Kenichi Hirai, forcing him to fall off the cliff.

The flying knife also fell under the cliff, and Silver Fox did not try to retrieve it.

In the end, the knife was taken away by Eita Kakuta, and no one knew about it except Sawa.

.........

the next day.

After breakfast, everyone gathered at the foot of the mountain again. There were 10 people in total, except for Kenichi Hirai.

Takanari Wataru didn't seem to sleep well last night. He had two big dark circles under his eyes and looked very listless.

This made Conan a little confused.

If Takanari Wataru is the Silver Fox, he didn't get enough rest last night and is in such a bad condition now, can he really move?

However, the dark circles under the other person's eyes could be made up, and even if he looks tired, it could be fake...

Takanari Wataru's tired appearance did not dispel Conan's doubts, but made him even more suspicious.

After all, all detectives are like this. Once the detective syndrome strikes, everyone looks like a murderer.

Everyone continued to climb the mountain.

As a result, in the afternoon, the weather suddenly turned dark, and heavy rain and strong winds were brewing.

It was obvious that it was about to rain, and everyone realized that it was not good, so they did not stay for too long during the climbing journey and quickened their pace.

Before the heavy rain came, they finally arrived at their destination, a mountain village.

Shanyuezhuang is a wooden house built in the mountains. It looks very ordinary, but it is quite large.

After opening the door of Shanyue Villa, everyone was shocked.

Because there was no light in the room, there was an old man standing there. He had gray hair, eyebrows and a beard, and there was no expression on his face.

His arms were wrapped in bandages, and he looked like a savage living in the mountains, which was terrifying.

Everyone quickly realized that this guy who looked like a savage was actually the manager of Shanyue Villa.

If anyone wants to stay here for one night, they must get the other party's consent.

"What are you doing standing there?" the old man suddenly spoke, a stern look appearing on his expressionless face.

"It's raining heavily outside, come in quickly!"

Conan pretended to be innocent and asked curiously, "Grandpa, are you the manager of the Mountain Villa?"

"Of course, come in quickly." The old man turned on the light in the house and said, "Be careful not to catch a cold."

"Yeah." Everyone relaxed and nodded quickly.

Everyone was frightened by the old man, except for three children, who remained calm.

These adults are not even as good as children.

Everyone put their luggage on the ground and sat on the chairs next to the stone table to rest.

"Dad." Conan raised his head and asked Uncle Maori, "What are we having for dinner today?"

"I don't know either." Uncle Maori scratched his hair with a headache, not paying attention to Conan's address. Even Xiaolan didn't care.

However, Sawaha and Haibara Ai are different, they know Conan's true identity.

They both looked over, with something strange in their eyes.

"Conan." A strange expression appeared on Huiyuan Ai's calm face, and she couldn't help asking, "Did you just call this uncle 'Dad'?"

Even Ze Yu laughed and teased, "You call me 'Dad' so smoothly."

After that, he lowered his voice, in a voice that only the three children could hear, and whispered: "Are you so eager to marry Xiaolan? Are you calling your future father-in-law 'Dad' directly?"

"But do you have this ability now?" Ze Yu asked, looking at Conan's elementary school student's body suspiciously.

"I just made a slip of the tongue." Conan said in a low voice with a red face.

In Japanese, my father and uncle's accents are quite similar.

But Ze Yu won't believe Conan's words.

Slip of the tongue?
Are you lying to a fool?
Ze Yu looked at Conan and gave him a 'are you kidding me' look.

Conan gave a helpless smile.

He really made a slip of the tongue just now...

On the side, Nose Shingo, a novelist, wanted to make a phone call, but he didn't bring his cell phone, so he went to the phone in the house.

However, the call could not be reached.

After a careful check, he found that the telephone line in the room was broken and he could not contact the outside world.

According to the administrator, the telephone line in the house might have been cut by lightning during the rain.

Ze Yu listened to his nonsense silently.

As the king who controls thunder and lightning, he heard someone talking nonsense in front of him...

This feeling is like "dancing with a sword in front of Guan Gong's gate", which is really ridiculous.

But Ze Yu was too lazy to expose him.

There was no gas in the house, so the elderly manager used firewood to burn an iron pot with water, packaged curry and rice in it, which were slowly steamed.

After all the food was cooked, he opened the packaging and poured it into the bowl, and 11 bowls of fresh curry rice were ready.

"Huh? Are we going to eat this tonight?" Xiaolan blinked blankly.

This food is too simple, isn't it?
"We can't help it." The old administrator said, "In the mountains, the conditions are not good, so we just have to make do with what we have."

Xiaolan nodded. She was not disgusted, just a little surprised.

Everyone started eating the curry rice in front of them.

Ze Yu took the spoon and put a spoonful of rice into his mouth, then raised his head and glanced at the elderly administrator.

He asked pointedly, "Grandpa, before we got here, you had already received a notice that 11 people were going to stay here for one night, right?"

"Yes." The old administrator nodded: "So, I cooked these curries and rice in advance, otherwise you won't be able to have dinner so soon."

"Is that so?" Ze Yu showed an expression of sudden enlightenment.

Then, seemingly unintentionally, he asked, "Well, Grandpa, among our companions, there was an older brother who accidentally fell off the cliff yesterday afternoon and ended up in the hospital. He couldn't climb with us, did you know?"

"Ah, there is such a thing?" Hearing this, the old man showed a stunned expression and said, "I didn't know that such a thing actually happened yesterday afternoon. You should mourn for me..."
