Conan: I'm just an ordinary novelist

Chapter 209 Departure, Dusk Villa

"Brother Xianhe, are you okay?"

Conan looked at the person who had been leaning against the window with his eyes closed since getting on the bus, and felt a little worried.

If he had known that the other person was not feeling well today, he would have

"You must be thinking, 'Ah, if I had known this guy wasn't feeling well, I would have never asked him to come with us' or something like that, right?"

Yun Xianhe, who was suffering from persistent dizziness due to low blood pressure, opened his eyes and rubbed Conan's head with his hand.

"Don't worry, my blood pressure is just a little low lately. Maybe I have hypoglycemia, too."

The man with pale lips smiled, and Conan could feel the cold fingertips on his forehead.

"Really? You little brat, next time you invite someone out to play, you should ask in advance, don't you know?"

"Well, it's okay, Uncle Maori. I like to go out and play, too."

Not letting him run around is the real pain.

Hearing this, Maori Kogoro glanced at Yun Xianhe, who seemed to be listless, through the rearview mirror and curled his lips:

"Yun boy, if you feel uncomfortable, it's not too late to go back now. The place we are going to today is very far."

"completely fine."

Yun Xianhe took out a handful of energy pills from his pocket and swallowed them, temporarily relieving his dizziness.

Conan, who was standing by, looked at the small tube of glucose that the other person took out from his bag, and seemed to be hesitant to speak.

"I've been having a poor appetite lately, so I can only use this to relieve my low blood sugar problem. Don't worry, Mr. Guang prepared a lot for me before he went out."

Yun Xianhe showed his backpack to Conan.

The latter took a look and estimated that there were at least a dozen boxes. He even saw two bottles of saline.

Hypoglycemia plus hypotension?

The young detective said nothing.

Yun Xianhe closed his eyes again and glanced at the three symptoms on the panel.

Except for the remaining day of pain-free treatment today,

The gastric ulcer will last for two days today and tomorrow, and the low blood pressure will last for four days.

Looks like I'll need to take painkillers all day tomorrow.

By the way, the invitation letter that Uncle Maori received was actually in the name of Kidd.

However, the roundabout way of expressing his identity is obviously inconsistent with Kaito Kid, and I don't know what the person behind the scenes wants to do.

"Cuckoo?"

The pigeon in the pocket poked its head out and looked around curiously.

"Hey? Brother Xianhe, are you still keeping this pigeon?"

"Ah, but I'm not very good at raising these kinds of small animals. I basically let them roam free after I bring them home."

Having said that, Yun Xianhe looked at the little pigeon peeking out of his pocket with a little helplessness.

This guy followed him home and then disappeared.

He thought it had gone back to look for Kaito Kid, but two days ago he saw it pecking at apples on a tree.

The pigeons that came back from fooling around were a lot fatter and looked shiny and slippery, and they seemed to be living very well.

Yun Xianhe built a bird's nest for the pigeon in a corner of the apple tree, and the pigeon jumped and fluttered into it.

It was not until Zhu Fu Jingguang saw him that Yun Xianhe realized that this guy had been eating and drinking at Mr. Guang's place for days.

"You are quite spirited."

"Cuckoo?"

The dove in the top hat tilted its head, its ruby ​​eyes clear and stupid.

Gugu doesn't know anything.

He scratched the pigeon's head in revenge, stuffed a handful of grain into his pocket, and pressed it back.

"I'm bringing you out to play, remember to be good."

"Cuckoo!"

Knowing that the journey was still quite long, Yun Xianhe yawned lazily and fell asleep on the back seat holding the pigeon.

In a daze, he felt the pigeon in his arms seemed to struggle and call twice.

"Shh—if you make any more noise, I'll make you into soup."

The pigeon with its mouth pinched shook its head.

After freeing its beak, it pecked the other's finger lightly, then squinted its eyes and buried its head in the slightly cool palm.

Conan, who had witnessed the whole process, twitched his lips and turned to Maori Kogoro and said:

"The tires here are all blown."

Exhausted after driving all day, Kogoro Maori got out of the car and took a look, only to find that there was no spare tire in the trunk.

"The detective who always forgets to bring a spare tire when renting a car—"

"Do you need this gold gas station or this silver gas station?"

"Or maybe this gas station two hundred meters ahead?"

The brave man who inexplicably dreamed of the river god opened his eyes in confusion.

The cold wind from the mountains mixed with fine raindrops poured in through the unclosed car window, making his head feel a little numb.

There are lush forests on both sides of the road.

The car beneath me was shaking violently, as if it would fall apart at any second.

The seat belt that was tight around his abdomen made Yun Xianhe frown uncomfortably, and he tilted his head to look around.

"Why did you drive into the mountains?"

"Cuckoo?"

"Brother Xianhe, you're awake."

Conan, who was holding on to the car door handle tightly to steady himself, spoke incoherently due to the shaking.

Maori Kogoro, who was sitting in the driver's seat, glanced at Yun Xianhe, whose hair was messy due to the wind, and then focused his eyes on the road in front of him:

"Really... what kind of shortcut is this? The owner of the gas station just now actually asked me to take this route!"

Xiaolan, who was holding the handle, smiled reluctantly:

"Hey, Dad, he really is talking about this road, right?"

"Of course! He even made us drive into a gas station. In order to get a clear picture of the area, I even bought an expensive map!"

The brave man who was looking at the forest through the car window turned around and looked at Kogoro Mouri.

The latter gnashed his teeth and said:

"If that boss dares to frame me, I will never let him go!"

The car drove from the muddy road to the main road with difficulty.

Xiaolan, feeling like she had escaped a disaster, let out a long sigh.

Except for Yun Xianhe, the other two also had expressions of lingering fear.

"Fortunately, we finally drove to a decent road."

"But it seems that this is really a shortcut."

Hearing this, Yun Xianhe followed Conan and looked out the car window.

From a distance, you can see a villa surrounded by woods, looming in the light of lightning.

"Look for yourself. You can already see the building on the right. Isn't that the villa called 'Twilight Villa' that we are going to now?"

"This villa looks a bit weird... Dusk Villa should really be changed into Vampire Villa."

Xiaolan, who was sitting in the passenger seat, turned pale when she heard this:

"Dad, we really have to go. This isn't good."

"Silly boy, we have received the invitation letter, so of course we have to go. Besides, we have already received the check for two million."

"But didn't you also see that strange text in the sender's section?"

"Oh, you mean the 'phantom of God's forsaken Son' part. You make so much of it, I think you are just being mysterious."

"Is that right?"

Xiaolan looked worried and a little afraid of the scene she was about to face.

Yun Xianhe in the back seat kept staring at Maori Kogoro, and then carefully looked at the bracelet positioning on the panel.

After making sure that he was not dizzy or seeing things, he gave a meaningful smile.

Seeing his expression in the rearview mirror, Kogoro Mori stiffened a little.

"How are you, Yun boy?"

"Except for being a little hungry, everything is fine. Speaking of that strange line of text, if my inference is correct, it refers to 'KID', which is Kaito Kidd."

Conan, who was looking at the Dusk Villa from a distance, curled the corners of his lips with a hint of excitement in his eyes.

That is the joy that roars from the depths of your soul when you meet a worthy opponent.

Yun Xianhe didn't look at Maori Kogoro's suddenly frozen expression, but just analyzed it by himself:

"However, based on my understanding of Kidd, even if he wants to plot some riddles, he will eventually reveal his name and identity."

The white fingertips lightly touched the white dove's feathers.

The boy finally moved his heterochromatic eyes away from the rearview mirror and looked into the depths of the dark woods.

"That is to say, this invitation was made by someone who stole Kidd's name. As for the purpose, we can only see it when we get there."

"That's right!"

Conan, who understood it immediately, shouted excitedly and looked very motivated.

Xiaolan in the front seat smiled helplessly.

'Kogoro Mori' glanced at the boy playing with the pigeons through the rearview mirror and curled the corners of his lips slightly.

Yun Xianhe noticed his gaze, looked over and blinked his left eye briskly.

haven't seen you for a long time.

The two people exchanged the secret code for contact and understood each other tacitly.
