When you travel, you still have to buy some souvenirs.
So after Conan washed his butt.
Dr. A Li, a good old man, could only donate his wallet in order to relieve the 'psychological trauma' of a certain friend he had forgotten for many years, so that the whole team could laugh again.
Leaving Hakone Onsen, the car drove at a steady speed on a tree-lined path with dense foliage.
At this time, there was no sun in the sky, and the surroundings seemed a little dark.
"It's not going to rain, is it?" The three children looked at the sky outside through the window.
"The weather forecast does say that it may rain after noon today, but don't worry. If everything goes well, we will be home in less than an hour."
Conan just finished speaking.
The car that was still running normally suddenly made an unusual noise and then broke down and stopped on the road.
The engine check light came on...
Ye Geng glanced at the dashboard, then turned to stare at Conan, and said in a voice with no emotion, "If everything goes well?"
In an instant, everyone in the car looked over.
Hey hey... what does this have to do with me... Conan sweated.
Of course, Ye Gengyi would not take advantage of the situation and beat up this detective boy.
He pressed the hazard lights, looked around, and said without comment: "Anyway, let's get out of the car first."
Although this road has a speed limit, it is sparsely populated. No one can guarantee whether there is a driver behind who is speeding by chance... It is too dangerous to stay in a car that cannot move.
The car door opened, and a chilly breeze blew in my face.
Ye Gengyi didn't know why, but he remembered what happened to him last time he went to Qunma County.
When buying souvenirs, he walked a lot of one-way lanes, so naturally he couldn't return the same way he came.
And now...
In front of the line of sight is a two-lane road paved with asphalt. On the dark brown road surface, obvious signs of wear and tear from passing vehicles can be seen.
The surrounding environment was a bit cold, but that seemed to be mostly due to the fact that I had just gotten off the car. The overall atmosphere was not gloomy or depressing.
Well... the key thing is that there doesn't seem to be a castle-shaped building nearby...
The most recent time, a few minutes ago, I passed by a Japanese-style villa area developed for tourism. Because the weather is still a bit cold now, it is the time when the hot spring industry is booming, so the natural wind project without heating is still relatively deserted.
While thinking about it, Ye Gengyi opened the hood to check. After a while, he found the reason:
"It was an oil leak that caused the engine to burn out."
He can fix it.
But the problem is that doing so requires the use of emergency tools stored in the storage space, and everyone present knows that the only luggage he carries this time is a backpack.
"There is no other way but to call the towing company first."
On the side, Dr. Ali took out his mobile phone.
Since a certain inventor often encounters similar situations, he is quite skilled in this aspect of the business.
…
Waited for about 30 minutes.
A tow truck drove up the road.
After the two wreckers inspected the van, they came to the same conclusion as Ye Gengyi. There was no other way to restart the car except repairing the engine.
"Then...we will help you tow the car away first." The tow truckman said.
"Eh?! What about us? There should be no buses or taxis in this place."
Dr. A Li was startled and said doubtfully: "And when I called before, I clearly asked you to drive again, or bring a usable car over..."
"Ah, I'm sorry about that."
The wrecker said a little embarrassedly: "Because there are no free cars in the company, we originally thought we could help you repair the car after we came over..."
"why is it like this."
Dr. A Li looked embarrassed: "It will definitely take a long time to walk down the mountain from here."
"The wrecker can still take an adult away, right?"
Conan suggested: "Just send the doctor or Brother Geng to the city, and then rent a car to pick us up."
"Oh! What a great idea!"
Dr. A Li's eyes lit up and he volunteered, "Then let me go."
"PhD?"
Ye Gengyi cast a questioning look.
If it were an ordinary family, it would really be inappropriate to leave the elderly and children in the mountains, but with their combination, no matter how you looked at it, it would be most efficient to rent a car by yourself.
"Uh, that..."
Dr. A Li came over and lowered his voice: "Actually, my stomach has been a little uncomfortable since the beginning. I originally thought I could hold on for about an hour..."
It takes 30 minutes to wait for the tow truck, and another 30 minutes to rush to the city. Well, it is really inconvenient to tell the doctor, 'Let's just solve it on the spot'...
Ye Gengyi was silent for a moment: "...then, you must be careful on the road."
Dr. A Li: "..."
Why does it feel weird...
…
Watch the tow truck leave.
At first, the three little heads were still novel about this temporary open-air experience without a tent. They took out playing cards and pulled Conan and Haihara Ai to sit around on the grass and play happily.
Ye Gengyi also opened his laptop and sorted the data on the spot.
But as time goes by.
Unknowingly, an hour and a half has passed.
Genta touched his stomach which made a "gurgling" sound. He lost the motivation to continue playing poker. He looked at the end of the empty road and muttered: "Why hasn't the doctor come back yet?"
"I can't get through the phone either..."
Haihara Ai couldn't help but murmured in a low voice: "Could it be that I ate some dessert secretly at the hot spring hotel and ruined my stomach?"
Just like the kind of person who has not eaten meat for a long time and suddenly overeats, she felt that her guess was well founded.
At this time, the deep sound of a gust of cold wind brushing against the leaves reached my ears. After a while, raindrops fell from the sky.
Ye Geng put his notebook back into his bag and turned to look at the villa area not far away, "Let's go, go there to take shelter from the rain first."
Several people followed him and came under the eaves of a house.
During this period, Haihara Ai continuously replayed Dr. A Li's number, but no one answered.
You won't really run into any trouble, right?
Ye Gengyi was about to think about this angle when the cell phone in his pocket suddenly rang.
The caller number is Dr. A Li’s home phone.
Um? Back home...
Ye Gengyi frowned slightly.
He slowed down the movement of taking out his mobile phone and remotely activated a group of nanorobots left in the cracks in the ceiling.
The number of seconds it takes for the signal to be transmitted.
Ye Geng put the phone to his ear, and at the same time, the figure of Dr. A Li appeared on his retina.
Well... I actually went home...
