Conan: The story that cats and wineries have to tell

"Mr. Maori, your name is like thunder even in a country like ours."

An old man with gray hair and no anger seemed to be arrogant sat on the upper seat of the living room, his slightly squinted eyes looking at Uncle Maori and Banxia squatting on the sofa beside him with great satisfaction.

"Now, I think our opening ceremony tomorrow will definitely get a bigger response."

"Ahahahaha, if there's anything else I need help with, I'll do my best."

As soon as he was complimented, Uncle Maori floated a little and began to paint cakes for them.

"Actually, there is another reason why we invited Mr. Mori this time..."The

vice president who was sitting next to him had a somewhat distressed expression on his face, but before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Uncle Mori.

"I think there must be too much opposition from the villagers to the operation of the aerial tramway, and the opening ceremony may face obstruction in many ways, right?"

Uncle Maori raised his eyebrows, clasped his hands on his chest, and said that it was a problem that everyone could see.

"Yes, the only people who supported the project were local shops, but my father was an autocratic man... That's why I set up an independent portal and set up a company that deals in import and export.

Looking at the topic of not knowing why it shifted from tomorrow's opening ceremony to mutual bargaining about property, Banxia rolled her eyes a little boredly, and jumped out along the crack in the door while someone opened the door and came in.

"Banxia!"

Xiaolan subconsciously exclaimed when she saw this, and turned her head to look apologetically at President Domoto who was sitting on the main seat.

"I'm so embarrassed, I'll miss it first."

"Ah, it's okay, Mr. Maori's cat is also very important."

President Domoto smiled at Xiaolan and motioned for Xiaolan to chase after her. This is a new gimmick that newspapers love, and they can't afford to lose it.

"Banxia, what are you running around?"

Xiaolan turned around, and finally found Banxia who was surrounded by tourists on a railing facing Tianbu Mountain.

"No way, who made it too boring inside. With Conan watching, it was impossible for that Miss Yoshino to do anything in front of the public, so she simply came out to feel the nature.

Banxia rolled her eyes, and after seeing that the passengers around her were almost scattered, she complained in Xiaolan's ear in a low voice.

"They wouldn't even give me a drink."

"Are you thirsty? Shall I buy you a bottle of water?

Xiaolan turned her head to look at the two vending machines at the entrance of the ropeway station.

"Okay, I want to drink Coke."

Banxia's eyes widened and she flicked her tail.

"No, only pure water, love to drink it or not... Wait, you just said Miss Yoshino wants to do it?

Xiaolan, who had just reacted, exclaimed suddenly, but in the next second, she covered her mouth and looked around with some embarrassment at the travelers who were looking at her with curious eyes.

"Yes, I don't know which one her target will be, but it is true that from the first time we saw her, there was a fragrance wafting around her body."

Banxia smacked her lips, obviously this Miss Yoshino's killing intent did not appear temporarily, but in the bottom of her heart, she didn't know how long it had been brewing.

However, now that Uncle Maori and Conan's boy are here, I'm afraid that this long-brewing killing machine is about to show its edge.

Just as they were lost in thought, a group of people suddenly came down the stairs.

"Sister Xiaolan, you are here."

Banxia squatted on the railing and watched condescendingly as Conan ran to Xiaolan with his short legs.

"Huh? Dad, are they done?

Xiaolan came back to her senses, looked down at Conan, and sorted out his somewhat messy clothes for him by the way.

"We're done talking about it for now, but Ms. Yoshino suggested that we go and try out their ropeway first."

Conan tells Ran about what she missed, and secretly turns his head to look at Uncle Maori, who is a little unsteady on his feet.

"Miss Yoshino suggested?"

Xiaolan, who had just come back from Banxia's words, couldn't help but have bad associations, and she didn't even have time to care about her old father who was afraid of heights...

"Yes, she said that since we are going to attend the opening ceremony of the aerial cable car project tomorrow, it is not appropriate to feel it in advance."

With the information not equal, Conan didn't know what Xiaolan's question just now meant.

Xiaolan and Banxia glanced at each other, raised their hands to pick up Banxia, and took Conan to follow everyone into the cable car.

Either way, they've stretched their attention to the limit.

As the cable car started, Uncle Maori, who was sitting in the seat with his back to the glass, spread his hands and trembled and clung to the railing, staring at the roof of the cable car as if he wanted to see through it.

Noticing the strange appearance of Uncle Maori beside him, Banxia jumped into Uncle Maori's arms from Xiaolan's arms a little strangely, and looked up to carefully observe Uncle Maori's face.

This is...... Afraid of heights?

Banxia blinked, and Vice President Domoto, who was sitting next to him, also noticed Uncle Maori's strange appearance and raised the question in Banxia's heart.

"Mr. Maori, you don't think you have a fear of heights, do you?"

"Don't worry about it, as long as you don't look at the following, there won't be any problem."

Uncle Maori smiled reluctantly, but his pale face and cold sweat made Banxia wonder if he was just trying to save face.

However, what made Banxia and Xiaolan a little emotionally complicated was that nothing happened until they were down-to-earth again.

Several people standing on the sightseeing platform at the top of the mountain looked at the scenery below the mountain, expressed their feelings, and then took the cable car back to the Tianbu Mountain Ropeway Station again.

"Mr. Maori, we have prepared a hotel for you to stay, let me take you there."

Miss Yoshino drove with the Mori group to the door of a high-end hotel.

After checking in, Ran stopped Miss Yoshino, who was about to leave.

"Miss Yoshino, don't you live here?"

"Huh? I have rented a house in the neighborhood because of my work, so if you have anything to do, Miss Mori, you can call me.

Miss Yoshino gave her phone number to Ran.

"Rented a house? The tracking program is bankrupt.

Banxia climbed onto Xiaolan's shoulder, looked at the car that left a lot of exhaust fumes, and licked her paws with some regret.

"I can only hope that Miss Yoshino won't think about doing it tonight..."

Xiaolan sighed, looked at the phone number on her phone, and turned to walk to the elevator.

Let's talk to Miss Yoshino before going to bed tonight, if she plans to do it tonight, maybe she can put her murder plan on hold.

It would be better if she could be directly enlightened and made her give up the idea of killing.
