not good!
Conan suddenly trembled and subconsciously raised his hands forward, trying to defend himself against the attack from the driver's seat.
He thought this was another sign of Brother Geng's grasp of timing.
However, the imagined iron fist did not come.
He looked at the driver's seat in confusion. Since yesterday, Brother Gengyi would always find reasons to beat him for no apparent reason.
I found that the other party ignored me at all, and was checking the dashboard with Dr. A Li at this time.
Idiot... When Hui Yuan Ai saw this scene, he couldn't help but cover his mouth and sneered a few times, but he quickly regained his expression.
I don’t know why, after returning from Mima Village yesterday.
Because she met Okiya Subaru, she felt a chill deep in her heart, so she put on a warmer fluffy lining today.
But for some reason, I have been hit by static electricity since morning.
Being a science-minded person, she wanted to ask Ye Gengyi, but unfortunately, starting yesterday,
...I, what on earth am I doing?
Conan retracted his hand in embarrassment, pretending that nothing was wrong, and followed Ayumi, Mitsuhiko and Genta to join the line of questioning:
"Could it be an engine failure?"
"But……"
Dr. A Li scratched his head in confusion, "The indicator light didn't report an error."
"Anyway, you guys should get out of the car and go to the roadside to rest for a while. You may be in danger if you continue to stay in the car."
As soon as Ye Geng turned on the double flashers, the turn signal flashed continuously with a rhythmic "dah" sound.
However, when his eyes fell on the logo on the center console, he found that the double flashing indicator light did not light up.
It seems that the problem lies here...
Taking out the tools from the trunk, Ye Gengyi neatly dismantled the instrument panel. As expected, he found that most of the wiring connecting the warning lights and alarms at the back were aged, and the rubber in many places had been torn and stained. Lots of soot and dust.
"I didn't expect that the wiring inside has aged to this extent." Dr. A Li came over to help hand over the tools.
"Yeah, but these won't affect driving. I haven't heard any noise from the engine before, so I guess it's a problem with the fuel tank."
While speaking, Ye Gengyi had already reconnected those lines.
The next second, the pointer of the fuel gauge on the instrument panel quickly slid from the two-thirds position until it dropped to 0 at a speed visible to the naked eye.
"Okay, it seems I guessed it right."
Ye Gengyi returned the instrument panel to its original position.
But I guess you are right. In this case, it is impossible for him to conjure a tank of gasoline out of thin air.
"I'm sorry," Dr. Ali said with annoyance and embarrassment, "It's all my fault that I rented such a problematic car."
"Doctor, don't worry. It's the car rental company's problem to provide customers with such cars."
Ye Gengyi interrupted the other party's self-blame and said: "When I passed by the previous gas station, I noticed the phone number on the billboard. I just paid them to deliver it."
"Eh?!"
Conan's focus was obviously off track, "Brother Gengyi, are you talking about the gas station we passed by 30 minutes ago?"
Ye Gengyi found wet wipes from the storage box in the passenger seat and said while wiping his hands:
"Yes, that's it."
"Awesome, I sometimes feel that with your powers of observation, Brother Gengyi, it would be a pity not to be a detective."
Conan sighed sincerely... Speaking of which, he certainly remembered the billboard erected on the roadside, but the phone number? No impression at all.
"It's such an obvious thing. As long as you don't always focus on bullying little girls, you can still notice it." Ye Gengyi said calmly.
Bullying, bullying little girls? who? Haiyuan? How dare I bully her... Conan's lips moved a few times.
"Eh?!"
Mitsuhiko reacted violently, "Conan, did you do anything to Haibara and Ayumi?"
"I don't have one!" Conan shouted unjustly.
At this moment, he started to complain about Brother Gengyi's keen observation ability. It turned out that the strange atmosphere between him and Huiyuan along the way was all under his nose?
"Edogawa just likes to do some outrageous things without others' permission." Haibara Ai yawned and based on the facts, added insult to injury.
"Conan, you brat!" Genta clenched his fists.
Ayumi said with a cry: "It's really bad to bully girls."
"That's for a reason..." Conan blurted out subconsciously, and then quickly shut up.
"Why, why don't you tell me?" Guang Yan came over with empty eyes.
"I, that... is..."
Conan was sweating profusely. How should he explain such a thing?
In this regard, Ye Gengyi said.
It's fun to watch a famous detective whose specialty is the gab being speechless.
Conan was inexplicably attacked by a group of friends in just a few words. He couldn't resist it, so he could only forcefully change the topic:
"Hey! You guys wait a minute, the sun is going to set. We'd better call the gas station quickly and ask them to send gasoline!"
"No, I can't make a call now..."
Here, Dr. Ali looked at the screen of his mobile phone and said with some helplessness: "It seems that after going on the mountainous road, the mobile phone has no signal."
"ah?!"
When the three children heard this, their attention was immediately diverted to this matter.
"Doctor?" Conan was a little surprised, "How do you know that the mobile phone has no signal on the road around the mountain?"
"It's Subaru Okiya who just moved next door yesterday."
Dr. A Li explained: "When he went shopping, he won a daily necessities set. The items in it were prepared according to the number of people in a family of four. He could not use them all by himself. He kept them all at home. If the landlord went back to see them, If they arrived, they would definitely feel strange. They said they planned to send three copies to us, but it turned out that we were not at home, so they sent an email asking us when we would be back. Now, you see..."
He turned the phone screen to Conan.
As you can see, in addition to Okiya Subaru's message above, there is also an email with the content "We went camping outside and will probably go home tomorrow morning." Since there is no signal on the mobile phone, it shows that the delivery failed.
According to the speed and time plan, it happened to be when they came to the mountain ring road.
So this is ah……
Conan suddenly understood, and then continued: "There is nothing you can do if your mobile phone cannot be used, but if you choose to walk to the gas station, I'm afraid it will take 2 hours... Um, Brother Gengyi, your satellite phone?"
"There's something wrong with that prop."
Ye Gengyi knew that this boy had been thinking about him all the time.
It's not a crisis now, so he doesn't plan to use the illegal tool that hijacks communication signals, just to call the gas station and ask the other party to send a barrel of gasoline.
After all, if this matter was accidentally publicized by a few children, it would not do him any good.
As for this camping trip, there will be times when you really need to use a satellite phone.
He just said that there was something wrong with that prop, but he didn't say that he didn't bring it with him. He could just take it out and repair it.
"Well, in this case, we can only stay here and wait for the car to come, and ask the other party to take us to the gas station to buy gasoline, or..."
Conan raised his head and looked towards the end of his sight, "Climb to the top of the mountain and borrow a phone from the owner of that villa."
