Hattori Heiji was having a great time.
Ye Gengben had the idea of colliding with the "incident", but he was not in a hurry at all.
Toyama and Ye were the only ones who didn't suffer from motion sickness at all. She was frightened by their actions and became dizzy. She vomited several times before entering Nagano Prefecture.
They had no choice but to go to a nearby convenience store to rest.
Ye Gengyi bought a few cans of coffee, opened one to soothe his throat, and habitually observed the surrounding environment.
The air outside is cool.
A few dark gray clouds drifted across the sky from time to time.
However, he still did not feel the disharmonious atmosphere.
It failed...
No, maybe it’s not that easy to succeed?
…
Had lunch.
Hattori Heiji continued to act as the driver and finally drove the car into the boundaries of Nagano Prefecture.
Without the two people switching positions every ten minutes or half an hour, Yuanshan and Ye's moods were obviously much calmer.
The person who entrusted Police Officer Otaki to find Hattori Heiji for help was the head of the Tatsuo family, Tatsuo Shishi.
Hattori Heiji originally planned to go directly to the other party, but was stopped by Ye Gengyi.
"Since it is clear that it is a murderer, and the murderer has not been arrested yet, it would be too passive for us to visit directly. We should at least observe the surrounding environment first."
In this way, when you meet a villager as a tourist, you can intuitively get information through the other person's attitude without the filters of 'Tiger Field' and 'Dragon Tail'.
Of course, it is also possible that there is no gain at all.
Ye Gengyi believed that this kind of thing did not need to be explained by himself. Hattori Heiji might not have thought of it, but it was just the nature of a young man to do things impulsively.
The car drove down a gradually gentle slope.
The three of them found an open space, parked the car, and prepared to walk around.
As far as the eye can see, there is a forest full of dense shrubs and plants. Looking up at the sky, there are only sporadic rays of light shining through the gaps between the branches and leaves.
"If I had known better, I would have driven a little further ahead..."
Hattori Heiji shook the dead grass stuck to his pants, took a path and came to a rock, put his feet on it and looked around.
"Hey! Heiji is in danger, come down quickly!" Toyama and Ye quickly dissuaded him.
"Oh, it doesn't matter..."
Hattori Heiji waved his hand carelessly, before he could finish his words.
Suddenly, a muffled sound came from a bush a few meters away from him.
what! ?
Hattori Heiji was startled and quickly looked over there.
"Someone is shooting arrows." Ye Gengyi judged by his voice.
As expected, the arrow should have landed on the target, but... they happened to be parallel to the target, so it would still be very dangerous if the archer missed.
No one has this luck.
"Archery?" Hattori Heiji quickly jumped off the rock and made a half circle from the opposite position, "Let's take a look."
He said, already taking steps to run over there.
Ye Gengyi, Yuan Shan and Ye could only follow.
After walking for a while through the shade of trees competing for height, the plants in front began to become sparse and the light became brighter.
They walked around and walked less than ten meters ahead.
A man and a woman appeared.
The woman who was closer to them looked to be in her early 20s. She was wearing a pure black exquisite dress, with shoulder-length hair. She was concentrating on the man on horseback with a bow, and did not notice Ye at all. A few more people approached.
"Hello! Hello..."
Seeing this, Hattori Heiji had no choice but to say hello in advance and walked over there.
"ah?!"
The woman obviously didn't expect that someone would come around from the back of the shooting range.
While being startled, she also turned to look towards them. After noticing that it was an unfamiliar face she had never seen before, she was slightly startled and asked subconsciously:
"Who are you...?"
There is some vigilance between the eyebrows and eyes. Is it because he has a rather exclusive personality? Or tell me what troubles you have encountered recently...
Before Hattori Heiji could speak, Ye Gengyi replied with a hint of confusion:
"I just happened to have something to do here. Are you shooting arrows?"
If he were alone, he would have positioned himself as an ordinary tourist. But Hattori Heiji would go to Tatsuo's house to meet his client later. Before he could figure out the identity of the two people in front of him, it would be better not to tell some lies.
while they were talking.
The man also approached on horseback.
Taking a closer look, it was obvious that the other person was over thirty years old. His eyes were very bright, which was different from the exposed bronze skin. The original skin color that occasionally slipped out of the cuffs and collar could also confirm that he It’s not that you are born dark, but that you have been exposed to the sun during long periods of outdoor exercise.
However, I heard Ye Gengyi's answer.
The vigilance in the eyes of the man and woman became even stronger.
The man frowned and said with a bit more sternness in his tone: "You are not sent by the village next door to cause trouble, are you?"
"Eh?"
Upon seeing this, Hattori Heiji immediately explained: "We are from Osaka, not from the village next door as you think!"
"Osaka?" The man was startled and glanced at the three people's hands with his sharp eyes.
Are the people in this village so hostile?
Ye Gengyi didn't like the other party's attitude very much. While looking back, he summoned a ray of electricity and pierced the brown horse under the other party.
咴咴——
The horse suddenly let out a long neigh, raised its front hooves and was about to run.
The man was startled by this sudden change, and immediately tightened his legs and tightened the reins.
A few seconds apart.
Ye Gengyi took a few steps forward, bypassing the woman who obviously hadn't figured out the situation yet. He jumped forward with his legs and grabbed the horse before the man could control it, and forcefully pulled it off. .
His vision was spinning. The man had never experienced such a thing before, and he was completely confused.
"Hey, be safe, it will be bad if you step on us." Ye Gengyi's calm and emotionless voice came from his ears.
"Ah...hug, sorry..." the man said subconsciously. He turned around and looked again, confirming that his old partner for many years, that is, the horse, had not lost control and ran away. He breathed a sigh of relief, got up from the ground, ignored the dust on his body, and said to Ye Gengyi. :
"Um...thank you. I rarely make mistakes like this...well, anyway, I'm really sorry..."
He was a little incoherent, and he thought that the so-called "such mistakes rarely occur" should mean that similar mistakes have never happened in so many years of riding and shooting, otherwise it would not be possible for him to behave like this.
My attitude is much better.
Ye Gengyi nodded slightly and said, "Well, it doesn't matter."
