Conan: I'm not really a winery boss

Chapter 519 The Ghost Story Begins
Looking at the charred black giant "Flytrap" lying peacefully on the ground, Fu Jiang withdrew his extended claws.

The green fire dotted on the "Flytrap" gradually turned into scattered sparks and dissipated with the wind.

"Hei Yu, are you still alive?"

"What do you think?" Kuai Dou grinned down, and took off the vine wrapped around the inside of his sleeve.

I can't believe it, Fu Jiang just watched from the sidelines before, and didn't rush to solve it until he confirmed that the "flytrap" was not very threatening.

If this "flytrap" was very powerful, he wouldn't turn around and leave coldly, regardless of my life or death, would he?
Kaito cursed a few words in his heart.

Haibara put on a pair of rubber gloves, and picked up the pink vine that Kuroba Kaito threw on the ground.

Pat, she slipped her hand, and the vine fell to the ground.

Haibara's thumb and index finger rubbed back and forth twice, then she lifted Kaito's shirt without hesitation, and looked at his stomach.

"What's the matter?" Kaito took a step back somewhat uneasy, letting the hem of his jacket break free from Haibara's hand.

"Is there any discomfort in your skin? Is there any strange feeling?"

Hui Yuan asked lightly, then bit the tip of his tongue, his eyes were slightly guilty.

Such a tone and questioning method reminded her of past events that she didn't really want to recall.

Kaito Kuroba is not an experimental subject placed on the experimental table.

She immediately added, "The vines of this plant seem to secrete a weird liquid, and I'm afraid it might be harmful to your body."

"Hmm." Kaito reached into his clothes with both hands, groped a few times, then pulled out his hands with an ugly face, looking at the liquid sticking to his hands, "There shouldn't be any problems, right?"

He quickly squatted down and rubbed the dirt on the ground with his hands.

Then he quickly walked towards the suit of clothes that he had thrown on the ground before, trying to clean up his body and change into it.

Because of the vines, his clothes were not only wet, but also slippery, which made him feel particularly uncomfortable.

But Fu Jiang picked up the clothes on the ground one step faster than him, and hid them behind him.

Kaito looked at him puzzled.

"I don't want to wear it for you anymore." Fu Jiang glanced up and down on Kaito several times, "It feels disgusting."

"Yeah, it's disgusting. While calling for help, I can't do anything here."

Seeing that Kaito was out of danger, Conan also joked.

In the scene just now, Kidd must have died, right?

At least, with them, Kaito no longer wants to pretend to be an elegant phantom thief gentleman.

"I was confused! It was the interference of magic factors!" Kaito gritted his teeth.

Although he has dexterous hands and quick movements, he is still an ordinary person after all, a very scientific kind.

What can he do when encountering unscientific magic?

Fu Jiang didn't participate in the ridicule of Kaito, and went to Hongzi and Huiyuan.

They are studying the liquid secreted by the pink vine.

"Don't waste time." Fu Jiang glanced at the slippery liquid on Huiyuan's gloves, "It's the common massage oil, the kind with a strong lubricating effect."

Having said that, Fu Jiang wrinkled his nose, and his complexion gradually became strange, "And this is the kind that is common in the market, an old brand."

"How do you know!?" Hongzi's eyes widened, as if he had known Fu Jiang Hehuan for the first time.

"Do you often go to massage parlors?" Huiyuan and Hongzi asked almost at the same time.

"I stayed in Kabukicho for a while." Fu Jiang's eyelids drooped for a moment, "And I was with a timid womanizer."

Hongzi raised a hand, "I won't ask you in detail what you did there."

As she spoke, she moved sideways to distance herself from Fu Jiang, and with the other hand, she tugged on Hui Yuan's shoulder.

The corners of Fu Jiang's eyes twitched, "I go to regular massage parlors, and I'm just acting as a bodyguard to prevent important clients from being assassinated by the Sumiyoshi Society."

In order to prove his words, he added, "At that time, I was still very weak, and I couldn't defend myself against assassination in bed, right?"

"You're too serious, I never mind your character." Hongzi shrugged, "You still can't recognize jokes very well as before."

She is just changing the subject, she knows Fu Jiang too well, although Fu Jiang's personality has changed to some extent after "amnesia", but there are still many similarities.

She could see through Fu Jiang's eyes that the guy known as the "cowardly womanizer" might have a good relationship with Fu Jiang, but now, most of them are gone.

"Speaking of which, why does the vine of this plant secrete massage oil?" Huiyuan brought the topic back on track.

"Maybe it's harmless and really just a massage flower."

Fu Jiang's guess is well-founded.

If this plant really survives in such a way that its scent lures its prey to approach and then hunts, then Kaito, who is a scientific human being, has no reason to break free of this confusion so easily.

When it comes to magic, it is too clumsy to remove the confusion effect through specific emotions such as nervousness.

"That, I said"

When Tomie and others were discussing whether the "Flytrap" should be classified as a harmful plant, Kaito got rid of Conan's ridicule.

The way to get rid of it was that a red round bag rose above Conan's head.

"Can you lend me your clothes?"

Kaito wore only a pair of patterned underpants all over his body, and the oily shine on his body was gone, probably wiped clean with the clothes he took off.

With a movement of his shoulders, Tomie took off the overcoat he was wearing and threw it to Kaito.

"Hey, where are the pants?" Kaito took the coat.

"Can't it cover most of your body?" Fu Jiang squeezed out a voice through his teeth.

Unfortunately, among the few people present, he was the only one who brought spare clothes to lend to Kaito.

Although he was a little reluctant in his heart, Fu Jiang didn't want to have the eye of a needle either.

Reluctantly, Kaito put the coat on his body, and then zipped up the zipper that Tomie had never pulled.

After finishing preparations, everyone continued to advance along the unobvious path and continued to explore.

The vigilance of several people has risen a lot, especially Hongzi, she doesn't want to be caught by vines jumping out from nowhere.

Along the way, everyone paused occasionally, because Huiyuan would collect some flowers and plants that he had never seen before into his small backpack.

She remembered what Fu Jiang said, that this place was built by Alex and a certain high-ranking devil in order to study immortality.

The plants here are obviously also artificially cultivated with the help of magic.

After she found the laboratory, she planned to study the plants and animals here, if there were animals.

"It's getting dark, find a place to rest first and then look for the laboratory tomorrow." Fu Jiang tugged at the collar of his turtleneck sweater.

"Well, aren't you more suitable for the night? I remember you can be in the dark"

Conan recalled something wrong that Fu Jiang had shown but was ignored by him, "Hiding his figure in the dark."

"Yeah." Fu Jiang's eyes seemed to be darker, "Then keep going."

Anyway, after resisting the mutation, even if you only have the physique of an ordinary person, it won't be a big problem if you don't sleep for two nights.

Perhaps because of the location of the island, after walking for about half an hour, the sky soon became dark.

In addition, the trees on the island are very lush, which makes the surrounding environment even darker.

Conan regretted a little and proposed to continue to leave. He was about to call out to Fu Jiang to stop him.

Suddenly, Fu Jiang's footsteps stopped, and Conan had no time to react, and directly hit Fu Jiang's leg.

"Why did you stop suddenly?" Conan covered his nose, speaking indistinctly.

"Didn't you notice?" Fu Jiang turned his head slowly after a pause, his eyes were wide open, and the pure black pupils almost blocked the whites of his eyes.

"There are actually six people here, and I don't know when the others stopped talking."

Conan took a sharp breath through his nose, jumped and rolled sideways, leaned against the tree, raised his hands and looked vigilantly at Hongzi and Huiyuan behind him.

Hongzi and Huiyuan:
If we don't talk, beware of mistakes around us?
Conan carefully counted the number of people, his pupils trembling, "One, two, three, plus me, four."

Conan breathed a sigh of relief, "What, there are so many people, isn't there one missing?"

Before his smile appeared, it froze on his face.

Wait, missing someone?
"Where's Kuai Dou?" Hong Zi also noticed something was wrong and became nervous.

What about Kaito who was walking with them just now?
