"Well..."
The old woman subconsciously took a few steps aside.
Although there was no clear evidence, decades of detective intuition still gave her the illusion that as long as she nodded, the other party would directly step on the accelerator.
etc...
It must be an illusion, this guy is sitting in the passenger seat.
Just as she was in a trance.
Here, Kuroba Kaito also encountered new problems.
Brother doesn't play by the rules.
By the way, this is no longer something you can do by pretending to be stupid...
The top priority is that as 'Moori Kogoro', should I reprimand my brother for being rude, or should I join him in condemning this aunt who has no regard for road safety?
Waiting online...
Can't wait! Something had to be said.
"Haha," a certain thief laughed awkwardly and stuck his head out of the window: "Um...are you in any trouble?"
call--
It’s good to be able to communicate.
The old woman calmed down, pointed to a white Fiat over there, and said: "My car stalled, so I have to wait here to see if any kind-hearted people pass by..."
When she said 'good Samaritan', she also glanced at Ye Gengyi who was sitting in the passenger seat. Seeing that the other party had no reaction, she continued: "You will take this road, and your destination should be Dusk Villa." Well, so, can you take pity on me, an old woman, and give me a ride?"
"That's no problem," Kuroba Kaito breathed a sigh of relief, "Let's get in the car."
"Thank you very much, but...I'm so sorry. Could you please open the trunk? I have luggage to put in."
As the old woman spoke, she pretended to look in the direction of the co-pilot inadvertently.
"Gengyi, go help!" Kuroyu Kaidou Yi ordered.
"Yeah." Ye Geng nodded.
He calmly unbuckled his seat belt, opened the door, got out of the car, and took the umbrella and suitcase from the old woman.
Naturally, Conan and Mao Lilan would not react to this matter.
Kuroba Kaito felt bored when he saw this, although he didn't know what he was expecting.
Why don't you just wait for me to tear off your disguise and say, 'Stop pretending, you are Kaitou Kidd, right?' '
Uh...it's really boring.
After loading the luggage, the car started again.
The old woman was sitting in the back seat, holding a notebook and looking through something.
Mao Lilan changed her sitting position several times, and finally couldn't help but move to the driver's seat and lowered her voice: "Dad, how long will it take to get here? I want to go to the bathroom..."
"It's really troublesome..." Kuroba Kaito continued to imitate the tone of a certain tool man, "It's too dangerous to drive fast in this weather. In my opinion, it will take another 20 minutes to walk."
"It's been so long..." Mao Lilan looked at the dusk villa in the distance, appearing and disappearing in the forest, with a sad expression on her face.
"Once an opportunity is missed, it is difficult to come across it again..."
The old woman raised her eyes and looked at Mao Lilan beside her, "Little girl, I may be a bit talkative. When we were at the gas station just now, why did you..."
"Since you feel like you're talking too much, you'd better stop talking." Ye Gengyi interrupted calmly, "Hindsight thinking is not advisable. Otherwise, if everything could be met in advance, you wouldn't have your car break down halfway and wait until we come to rescue you. ...Isn’t it?”
He paused and looked at the other person through the rearview mirror, "Or did an old man like you, who was well prepared, leave the car there on purpose?"
"Brother Gengyi..." Mao Lilan sweated.
I just want to go to the bathroom, so the topic doesn’t need to be so profound, right?
"What you said makes sense," the old woman adjusted her glasses on the bridge of her nose. "You are indeed a companion of Kogoro Mori. I can't resist such sharp words."
"Auntie, do you know me?" Kuroba Kaito also showed appropriate surprise.
"Yes, 'Sleeping Kogoro' is a legend in our detective world."
"us?"
Kuroba Kaito raised his eyebrows, "Could it be that you are too..."
"My name is Senjian Yudai, and I am a detective."
The old woman who called herself Senjian Ryodai lamented: "But when people get older, it's hard to disobey..."
Qianjian...Delegation?
Who is that?
Kuroba Kaito's head was filled with questions, but he couldn't show it clearly.
"You are that detective who can solve a case by sitting in an easy chair and just listening to other people tell you about the development of the case!"
Conan had heard the other party's name before, and said suddenly, "So, you said that we have been to the gas station before, and you also deduced it?"
"Yes, you can tell just by looking at the ashtray." Senjian Shidai said: "Mouri Kogoro is a big smoker, but now the ashtray is empty. It should be impossible for a gentleman to let a stranger ride in the car casually. He poured the cigarette butt out of the window, so...it could only be that he went to the same gas station before."
"I see," Kuroba Kaito said, "So, you went to the Dusk Annex because you received an invitation?"
"Yes," Qianjian Fangshi nodded, "But before that..."
She reached out and took the ashtray in front of her, "I'm very afraid of the smell of cigarettes, so you should endure it for a while before reaching your destination."
"Really..." Kuroba Kaito pretended to be dissatisfied and said, "Then I have to drive faster."
...
Twenty minutes later.
The car drove over a stone and wood plank bridge and finally arrived at this dusk villa in Nagano Prefecture.
The walls covered with moss, the dilapidated flower beds in the garden, and the rusty iron gates.
Without the cover of trees, it can be seen from the appearance of the building that this place has been around for many years.
However, the power supply system in the annex is still operating normally.
Incandescent light shines through the window, reflecting on the parking lot outside the door, and the rain is dotted with a few expensive luxury cars.
Kuroba Kaito was not in a hurry to go in, but wanted to find some clues that might be clues.
Mercedes, Ferrari, and Porsche were relatively close to him, and he could feel the temperature of their engines without touching them.
On the contrary, the dark blue Alfa Romeo was parked farther away.
He pondered for a few seconds, then walked straight over, pretending to like it very much, put his hand on the engine cover, and said: "Oh... this car is really cool."
"Hey, don't touch my car!"
A man wearing a dark green suit and a brown hat, holding a cigarette and holding an umbrella, said in a very unhappy tone: "It took me five years to finally get it. If it is acquired by other men, If I touch it with my dirty hands, I won't be able to bear it if it gets angry, don't you think... Mustache?"
"Small...moustache?"
A certain monster thief twitched his lips, but he couldn't say anything in reply.
"Hmph, it seems that we really invited a lot of strange guests to the annex today." The man in the green suit shrugged and walked towards the door.
At this moment, a voice sounded:
"The ingredients in sweat are water, sodium chloride and a small amount of urea, while the ingredients in rainwater are sulfur dioxide and nitrogen dioxide. Although there are many differences between the two, the same thing is that water accounts for more than 98%."
Ye Gengyi said: "This gentleman with a butt on his chin, if you don't want your car to get wet, you'd better drive it into an annex."
Fart...butt?
"Ahem..." The man in the green suit choked on the cigarette in his throat, and it took him a while to regain his composure.
He turned around and said angrily: "Who are you!"
"Hattori Heiji."
Ye Gengyi finished speaking casually and went directly to open the door.
