Chapter 356 Reprimand
Chapter 362 Reprimand

"Eh?! You said Yuanta has crossed the first wire fence?" After a few minutes of searching, we stopped in front of a wire fence under the guidance of Conan.

"Well, I think it's correct." Conan checked the wire mesh. "The soil on the wire mesh is still fresh, and the traces of the wire mesh being crushed are not large. The hole is so small, I believe the person who just climbed up must be a child. Besides, there are several trees with yellow-green needles on the opposite side of the fence."

"This is difficult." Dr. Agasa said, resting his chin on his hand. "I just took Genta's armband to be repaired. There is no way to contact him now."

"Forget it, I'll go get him back." Conan sighed.

"I'll go." Looking at Conan's expression, I shook my head and walked forward. "I'm better at finding people. You guys just wait for me here."

"Hey, do you want to be a hero again?" Mitsuhiko and Ayumi said in displeasure.

"Finding a disobedient Yuanta is already giving me a headache, so please don't make things worse." I scratched my hair.

"That's too much!" Ayumi felt a little aggrieved because of what I said.

"That's right, Xun, how can you talk like that?" Mitsuhiko was also a little annoyed.

"What do you think is the most important thing for a team?" I asked directly without paying attention to their attitudes.

"Unity, of course!"

"So what do you think Yuantai is doing now?"

"This..." The two didn't know how to answer.

"Xiaoxun, don't say that, they are still children." The doctor tried to comfort her.

"That's not a reason for them to run around." I replied with a slightly cold face. "For a team, a team named after detectives, it is desirable to have an adventurous spirit. But when this adventurous spirit turns into recklessness and reckless impulse, it is a manifestation of ignorance! What's more, Yuantai is the so-called leader!"

"Xun, you've gone too far." Conan patted my elbow gently, signaling me to be more restrained.

"Last time in the stalactite cave, Conan and Ai almost died. What was the reason? A few days ago, when they went to catch the arsonist, they were hit by the criminal and almost killed. Why? You are so reckless and want to be a hero again and again. If one day you lose your life because of your recklessness, what will your parents think?"

"Yes...I'm sorry..."

“Yes... I’m sorry..." The two bowed their heads and admitted their mistakes, with tears in their eyes.

"Almost there." Shiho softly kicked the edge of my shoe.

"We need to plan our actions and do things in a planned way. We must abide by the rules here when we come out to pick today. You can easily cross the line, but the hunters and bears on the other side of the wire fence will not let you go just because of your recklessness. If you just said that you were just worried about Yuanta, maybe I wouldn't be angry, but you said you wanted to be a hero? Haha, a hero knows how to act within his ability. Recklessness and impulsiveness are not heroic behavior."

"Yes."

"Yes..." The two of them replied with their heads down.

"Forget it. I know you're worried about Yuanta. Although I don't agree with your heroic behavior, as friends and teammates of the detective team, if you all want to find him, then discuss the plan. It's better than just jumping in headfirst. If you really get lost, you'll be a disgrace to the name of the detective team." After beating them, I didn't forget to give them a jujube. Seeing the light in the eyes of the two children again, I didn't want to completely dampen their mood. I just took it as an exercise in training unity.

————The scent of orchids, the scent of lavender, the scent of home & the wings of angels, the wings of demons, the wings of guardians————

"Then I suggest we go in groups." After a few minutes of discussion, Shiho decided that if we went alone, the two children would definitely get lost, and if I went alone, the children would be worried. Thus, this team model was born.

"Edogawa will be in a group with Yoshida-san. I will be in a group with Tsuburaya-san, and Kaoru will be alone. As for the doctor, you can stay here and wait."

"Um... yes, yes!" Mitsuhiko's face suddenly turned red for some reason.

"Okay, but don't go too deep. I should be able to find someone quickly." I signaled to Shiho and Conan, and then I made a short sprint. Then I jumped to the top of the iron net in three or two steps, and then fell straight down, half squatting to reduce the impact. Then I stood up and said to the people on the other side of the net. "If I find Yuanta, I will contact you." After that, I walked towards the depths of the forest.

"Xiao Xun... is really amazing." Ayumi was already a little stunned.

“Yes, yes…” Mitsuhiko was preoccupied with what he was thinking.

"Okay, let's get started. You don't want to lose to him, right?" Shiho said lightly, and began to climb the iron net first. Mitsuhiko quickly followed. On the other side, I was the first to enter the two-layer iron net area and walked into the forest first.

"The footprints are quite clear, they probably didn't go far." I squatted down and looked at the footprints on the ground, and identified the direction in which Yuan Tai went. Then I stood up and continued to walk forward. "Ah... these naughty kids, how can I make them learn their lesson?" I scratched my head as I walked. "If I encounter an organization or more dangerous criminals in the future, I really can't save them with the way they show off their power and don't consider the consequences. But they are children, I can't be too strict. After all, without the threat of death, they won't train as hard as I did when I was a child. Tsk, it's difficult..."

After passing a few big trees, Yuantai's footprints suddenly disappeared. This made me stunned for a moment.

"The footprints disappeared, and there were no obvious signs of chaos around. It seems that he entered the bushes. He should be nearby." I looked around and thought. At this distance, I just need to shout his name, and Yuantai should be able to hear it, but after thinking about it, I decided to try another way.

I squatted down again and carefully identified the changes in the grass. Finally, I found a stretch of grass that was strangely pressed in the front right. This should be the direction Yuan Tai went. With a naughty smile on my face, I walked towards the end of the footprints.

. . . . . .

"One... two... three... Haha! This time we can eat as much Matsutake mushrooms as we want!" Under a red pine tree, Yuan Tai was picking the Matsutake mushrooms one by one and putting them into his small basket. Judging from the number of Matsutake mushrooms in the basket, he had picked about seventeen or eighteen. It seemed that he had forgotten the administrator's warning at the beginning that each child could only pick two.

"Yeah, these should be enough!" Soon, Yuan Tai picked all the pine mushrooms under the tree. He held up his small basket with satisfaction, and Yuan Tai's eyes were almost shining.

...rustle.

Behind Yuantai, there was a rustling sound suddenly coming from the dense bushes, as if some animal was moving inside. The slight sound caught Yuantai's attention, and he subconsciously looked in the direction of the bushes. Shock and fear had already climbed onto Yuantai's face.

"Big... maybe a rabbit?" Yuan Tai swallowed subconsciously. But his feet did not move at all, not knowing whether to advance or retreat.

"Wooo ...

"Roar!!!!" The beast-like roar was heard again, scaring Yuan Tai so much that he turned around and ran, but eventually he slipped and fell under a tree. Then, Yuan Tai, who had already been filled with fear, could only hold his head and curl up under the tree, not daring to make any extra movements except trembling.

"I'm dead, I'm really dead this time!" Yuantai held his head, tears falling from his tightly closed eyes, but this could not alleviate the fear in his heart at all.

. . .

After a long time, the forest that had been moving strangely became quiet again. The curled-up Yuan Tai also found that there was no movement around him. His trembling body gradually calmed down. He slowly turned his head and looked at the bushes that had just made strange throbbing sounds. But he found that the creature that was there just now seemed to have disappeared.

"Gone... Gone?" Yuan Tai said with tears in his eyes. After confirming that the throbbing seemed to have really disappeared, Yuan Tai also lowered his head, closed his eyes and took a long breath. "Huh... I almost thought he was dead." But when he raised his head again, he saw a large mass of pale gold filling his sight, and a huge sound suddenly rang in his ears like thunder.

"Wow!!!!"

"Wow wow wow!!!" Yuan Tai was so scared that he lost his soul. He turned around and ran, but unexpectedly bumped into the tree he had just crawled on. The tree seemed to sway a little.

"Pfft, hahahaha!" Seeing Yuantai's embarrassing situation, I couldn't help but burst into laughter.

"Xun! You've gone too far!" Yuan Tai, who was knocked unconscious, took a long time to recover. He then realized that the person standing next to him was his elusive friend, Ming Ya Xun. At this point, Yuan Tai also knew that he had been fooled.

"Damn it! Xun, I'm going to beat you up!" Yuantai was so angry that he ignored the pain in his head, stood up and was about to hit me, but I dodged him and kicked him with my foot. Yuantai fell to the ground again and fell flat on his face.

"Wuwuwu...Xun, you!" Yuantai tried to get up again, but I pressed him to the ground with a palm.

"You. I always tell you to exercise more, but you just don't listen. Now you are suffering!" I said with a relaxed look, and then let go of his hand.

"Damn it, I'm going to kill you!" Feeling insulted, Yuantai pounced on me again.

"Are you sure you can beat me?" I couldn't help but shake my head in amusement as I held Yuantai's fist. "What are you doing here? The uncle from Linyuan specifically told you not to climb over the wire fence. Why did you do that? Don't you know there's a bear here? If it wasn't me but a real bear, you'd be dead now!"

"I... I just saw a lot of pine mushrooms here..." Suddenly, Yuantai's momentum weakened a little.

"Which is more important, food or life!" I was very dissatisfied with Genta's attitude. "As the leader of the detective team, you are disorganized and undisciplined, and you don't care about your own safety. What do you think the members will think? It was you who caused Ai and Conan to get hurt last time. Now everyone is out to find you. If they don't meet you here, and then cross the barbed wire again, what will they do if they encounter a bear or a hunter's bullet in the hunting area! How are you going to take responsibility for this!"

"I..."

"A child can only pick two pine mushrooms at most. You picked 17 or 18 and they will just be wasted. Please, as the leader, when will you reflect on yourself? If you continue like this, this detective team should be disbanded as soon as possible! No one wants to die under the hands of an irresponsible leader like you!"
