The laptop fan was still spinning, but the atmosphere in the basement gradually became quieter.
Reina Mizuna, a spy whose identity has been exposed, is still alive. In the final analysis, a large part of the reason is that her existence has been made public. Even if a threat arises, it can be quickly nipped in the cradle. middle.
However, it is precisely for this reason that the investigation of the Hayama incident cannot be carried out with her. There will definitely be someone in the organization who is keeping a close eye on her...
At the same time, Shui Wulian's nerves must be in a state of high concentration all the time.
In this case, as long as she is aware of the signs of being investigated, she will definitely alert the snake.
The man who lives next door is also one of the key figures... But it's rare to dispel his suspicion. Do you want to give up all your previous efforts?
No... the starting point is really better to start with the Mori Detective Agency.
Ye Gengyi leaned back on the chair, looked up at the ceiling, and considered various issues.
Time passed by minute by minute.
Then, he stood up and decided to use a simpler way to solve some doubts - thinking about it is useless, let's practice it.
…
3:44 p.m.
A silver-white Toyota car drove to the mountain road in Gunma Prefecture.
It was obviously sunny when I went out, but now it was as if I had strayed into a hidden realm, and everything I could see was hazy.
Mao Lilan and Conan were sitting in the back seat. Looking at Mao Li Kogoro who was driving in a hurry and not forgetting to look at the map, he felt a strong sense of unreliability.
"Uncle... do you really remember the client's address?" Conan's half-moon eyes gave him a headache just thinking about what happened at noon.
Because he met his fate on the TV station, and Xiaolan happened to go to the club to practice karate, the two of them returned to the office a little later than expected.
So, the three of them simply packed their luggage and decided to go to Poirot Cafe downstairs to fill their stomachs.
As a result... this stupid uncle accidentally threw the note with the client's phone number and address into the ashtray. When they finally rescued it, only the most worthless Gunma Prefecture couple was left on it. A word...
By the way, in order to put out the fire, the stupid uncle poured coffee all over them.
At that time, when I faced Conan with a "can you still do it" expression on his face, and went back to the office to change clothes, he asked, "Do you want to contact the client again?"
Mouri Kogoro refused confidently:
"Idiot! Doing something like that will only make the client question my professionalism! Don't worry, I've already memorized the route in my head."
Time goes back to the present.
Looking at the scene in front of me.
Conan draws powerful conclusions.
...My own tool man has no brains!
"That's weird, I remember that the road ahead should be to the right...Eh!?"
Mouri Kogoro was startled and suddenly stepped on the brakes, looking at the front with a lingering heart, at a figure looming in the mist.
….
It was a young man who looked about twenty years old, wearing a black hooded down jacket and pants of the same color.
The wind blew by, lifting the fog again, and at the same time revealed the face that was wearing round-rimmed glasses and had a gentle face that looked particularly kind.
Mouri Kogoro lowered the window and shouted: "Hey! It's very dangerous!"
Finally here, I thought you might encounter some kind of disaster on the road again...
Feeling that he had wasted more than an hour, in order to relieve his physical discomfort, Ye Gengyi, who was disguised as a makeover card, resisted the urge to die and did not give way. Instead, he walked to the driver's window and said, Neither fast nor slow, he explained with a bit of elegance:
"Sir, there is a very big piece in front of you.
The heavy stone, with the current visibility, if no one warns it, a passing car may hit it and cause an accident. "
"Eh? Stone?"
Mouri Kogoro was startled and got out of the car to check. Sure enough, he saw a rock weighing at least 100 kilograms leaning on the roadside not far behind where the young man was standing.
If this hits it.
How dangerous...
A certain tool man imagined the scene in his mind, thick fog, mountain road, and his rented car was still broken down on the roadside.
Thinking of this, he quickly expressed his gratitude to the young man in front of him: "Thank you so much!"
"No, if it weren't for this stone, I wouldn't be standing here..."
Ye Gengyi imitated the expression of a certain police officer named Takagi, which fully highlighted the harmlessness of humans and animals.
Sure enough, when they heard what he said, Mouri Kogoro, as well as Mouri Lan and Conan, who were following him, looked puzzled.
"Brother, what happened?"
I knew you would ask... Ye Gengyi compiled:
"It's like this. I just finished my studies and was going to travel alone. Today was the second day after I left home. At almost noon, I met a truck driver. He promised to give me a ride. We chatted along the way. It was quite pleasant. I happened to see a stone falling on the road when I was passing by. Then when I came down and waited for him to move away with me, he drove directly and took away not only my luggage but also the wallet inside..."
So, this is the story of a student who has just left school with a longing for society, but encounters a scammer when he goes out?
Conan held his forehead with one hand, and for a moment he didn't know whether to condemn the liar first or to complain about his naivety.
"Did you call the police?" Mao Lilan said and was about to take out her mobile phone.
"Please don't do this yet."
Ye Geng raised his hand to stop him and explained without any worry:
"There are no valuables in the luggage. If I contact the police, they will definitely find my home...Compared with that, I care more about the vacation that will be completely ruined. You three...let's move the rocks away first, don't worry about me, just If you wait a little longer, there will definitely be cars passing by."
He was smiling, and his temperament and conversation were somewhat calm.
Hey, hey, this is because they are worried that we will call the police and exclude us directly... Conan was speechless.
"Aren't you worried about meeting bad people?"
Mouri Kogoro curled his lips and murmured in a low voice: "Forget it... Anyway, in this foggy day, the client can be justified even if he is late..."
….
He looked at Ye Gengyi and said, "Let's go, get in my car, and I'll take you back to the city."
"No."
Ye Gengyi moved his eyes and looked ahead at the vast white mist, "I've had enough of staying in the city. My vacation is limited, so I've decided to go to a new place today."
He concluded that these three people would never turn around and leave, nor would they stay here to wait for or get off the next car with him.
That is irresponsible, and there is no way to explain to the driver of the car why they did not drive people away, but stayed here to do this kind of thing of "changing hands to good people".
Mouri Kogoro scratched his head and extended an invitation: "Really, if you are so free, why don't you come with us to the client's place."
You can't just leave such a kind-hearted young man with little social experience on the side of the road.
"Client?"
Ye Gengyi's face showed a look that was partly confused and partly curious, "Who are you?"
"Well……"
A certain tool man choked, then pointed to his face and introduced: "Please, do you really not know me? I am the famous detective Mouri Kogoro."
"Huh?"
Ye Gengyi pretended to be surprised and looked at Maori Kogoro carefully. "No wonder I feel familiar. It turns out you are the famous Maori detective."
"Yes, it's me."
Mouri Kogoro accepted the flattery quite naturally, "How about it? Now you know that I am definitely not a bad person, right? How about it, do you want to go together? After seeing my famous reasoning, it will be a worthwhile trip for you." "
To be precise, I went out this time just to try my luck, and I came here specifically to see your famous reasoning... Ye Gengyi muttered to himself silently, and readily accepted the invitation without hesitation:
"Then...it's better to be respectful than to obey."
Fall asleep at night
