Chapter 897: The Puzzle of Half a Bowl of Rice

March 10th, Saturday night, at the campsite at Gyokawa Island Doomsday Garden, Katsuura City, Chiba Prefecture.

The lights of the campground are composed of street lights beside the main road and ground lights around each campsite. There is also a big bonfire in the center, where the park cooks barbecues and sells them to the campers. Some performances will be organized on weekends like today.

However, when the Maori Eleven came back with their supper, the bonfire was no longer bright, and the performance was over. Some campers had already fallen asleep. After returning to the camp, everyone divided into two tables. The others sat at the same table, chatting in low voices, while eating supper under the starry sky.

Not long after, Mitsuhiko put down his chopsticks after finishing his supper and said, "I'm done."

Yuan Tai took a look and said, "Hey, you didn't eat all the rice. My mother said that if you leave any grain of rice, you will be punished by God."

"Oh." Mitsuhiko picked up the rice in the bowl and ate it.

Dr. A Li said: "That's right, the rice is milled by the farmer's uncle after 88 procedures."

"Eighty-eight ways?" Ayumi asked.

Huiyuan said: "If you take the rice characters apart and look at it, it becomes eighty-eight."

Yuan Tai thought for a while and smiled, "Really."

"That's why the eighty-eighth birthday is called Mi Shou." Dr. A Li smiled, "By the way, I will tell you that the seventy-seventh birthday is called Xishou, and the ninety-ninth birthday is called Baishou." Then he asked , "Do you know why?"

Conan said: "The reason why Xishou is seventy-seven years old is because Xishou's cursive script of Xizi looks like seventy-seven."

Hui Yuan said: "The reason why Bai Shou is ninety-nine years old is because the word "hundred" minus one horizontal line is white."

Yuan Tai straightened her triangular eyes, "I've always found it strange that you two really know a lot."

Mitsuhiko said, "Could it be that the two of you often go to cram school?"

Mitsuhiko said: "Or some strange network."

"It's reading," Dr. A Li said, "You can spend some of your time reading comic books and read encyclopedias."

"Yes!" The three of Yuan Tai replied.

"Okay, I suddenly thought of a puzzle, let's guess it." Dr. A Li smiled, "What should I call my forty-fourth birthday? The hint is that it is composed of one Chinese character and three katakana. of."

Conan thought for a while, and said dumbfoundedly: "Doctor, this question is too boring."

"Guess it?" Dr. Ali asked, "Alas, what about you?"

Haibara spread his hands and shrugged, "Not at all."

Dr. A Li asked Yuantai and the others again, but they said they couldn't guess it, so Dr. A Li revealed the answer, "The English for rice is RICE, and half is HAN, so it is HANRICE, which means half a bowl of rice."

"Crack!" The five of Conan lay down on the table together.

"What's the matter?" Dr. A Li smiled, "Half a bowl of rice can be added three times, it becomes SAN, and it becomes Sunrise." As he said that, he wanted to add more rice, but found that there was no more rice in the pot.

"It's very late, it's not good to eat too much, so I changed to a small portion." Huiyuan said, "Okay, finish the dishes, clean up and go to bed early."...

The next day, Sunday, March 11, morning.

After getting up, Yamazaki went to prepare the main course for breakfast. He went to the Shanqiang Hunting Forest Garden and spent 100,000 yen to buy a tube of 30 arrows with arrows, and entered the trail in the forest garden. The walking trails in the forest garden are opened up for tourists to avoid accidental injury, that is, the path for archers to walk, and the mountain Qiang is a moving target hiding in the woods.

Yamazaki shot three Qiangs with three arrows and killed them with one blow through the eyes. Then he paid another 200,000 yen to get all three Qiangs, and asked the staff to take them out and tell them by the way gave their delivery address.

After Yamazaki returned to the camp,

I found that Lan and Huiyuan had already got up to make breakfast, so I asked with a smile, "The main course is ready, do you still need help?"

"No need," Lan shook her head and smiled, "Hui and I are fine."

Haibara glanced at Yamazaki, nodded, but did not speak.

"Then I'll leave it to you." Yamazaki said with a smile. ...

After breakfast, a group of people packed their luggage and left Xingchuan Island Doomsday Garden. At the gate of the garden, they took a bus to Katsuura City to visit the eldest daughter's festival.

The Big Girl’s Festival is held from late February to early March. During this period, dolls will be placed on the stairs in various parts of Katsuura City, and merchants will also place altars with dolls in conspicuous places. The famous scenic spot is Tomisaki Shrine, which usually has 1,200 dolls on its sixty-step approach. ...

At noon, Mori and his group took the Sotobo Line and Sobu Main Line trams back to Tokyo Station at Katsuura Station, and then went to the restaurant of Nihombashi Shiraki Building for a late lunch, and then went shopping at the Yubu Shiraki Department Store in the building. Take a big circle, and then take the Mihua underground circular line at the underground Nihonbashi Baimu Building Station to go back to Mihua Square. ...

Before evening, Miyamoto's house, living room.

When Yamazaki and Mei Daiko came back, Miyamoto and his wife were watching TV and drinking tea. Miyamoto Ichiro poured a cup for each of them. The two put down their luggage, thanked the tea and sat down.

Miyamoto Miko asked with a smile: "How did you play?"

"It's not that good." Mei Daizi said, "It's much less terrifying than the Doomsday Town built by Enoch."

"So Doomsday Town can only be used as a studio now." Miko Miyamoto smiled, "But don't be disappointed."

"What?" Mei Daizi asked.

Miyamoto Miko said: "Enoch said that the cocoon version of the evil spirit crisis has been completed."

"Really? That's great." Mei Daizi smiled, and then asked, "Then when can I play?"

"April 1st, wait for the opening of the Magic World Amusement City next to Mihua Plaza." Miko Miyamoto said.

"Why do you have to wait so long?" Mei Daizi pouted and asked.

"Your entertainment room can't fit all the hardware equipment, only a few terminals." Miyamoto Miko said with a smile, "The more important thing is that the exam is about to take place. If you fail to pass, just cancel it."

"Ah," Mei Daizi lay down on the ground, "Mom, what are you talking about now?"

Seeing this, Miyamoto Ichiro and Yamazaki laughed together.

"It's what you want to ask." Miko Miyamoto laughed loudly, "I believe this burden is nothing to you."

"It's so irritating." Mei Daizi sat up and grabbed Miko Miyamoto's hand and bit it lightly.

"Okay, let's go pack your luggage, dinner is about to be served." Miko Miyamoto smiled while wiping the drool on her hands.

After that, Mei Daizi and Yamazaki picked up the luggage on the ground and went back to the room. ...

March 23, Friday, morning, good mood, Miko Miyamoto's office.

Ji Ji knocked on the door and came in to report, "Ma'am, there is news from Haneda Airport that Miss Belinda, Miss Olivia, Miss Anne, and Mr. Enoch are coming by helicopter and will arrive in about ten minutes."

Miyamoto Miko said with a smile: "Then let's go, it's rare for them to come here, if you don't go to pick up the chance, you will be talked about."...
