Chapter 349: Oops, the car broke down
Hinata Yuki looked at the incriminating evidence, she hadn't really figured out what to do in the future, but she didn't plan to stay in Nagato's house, she wanted to leave here first and calm down for a while.
Seeing that the mission had been completed, Shiraishi took advantage of Hinata Yuki's distraction and left the room to lift the mask.
The moment he was relieved, he suddenly heard a faint commotion coming from the other side of the corridor, seemingly the voices of Heiji Hattori and Conan.
Shiraishi opened his eyes in the hall and saw that there was only Maoriran next to him.
Heiji Hattori and Conan Yasei are causing trouble again.
Sure enough, after a while, the two were brought back by the security guard and the housekeeper.
- They are very concerned about whether there are drugs in the puppet and want to run to the room to search, but they just happen to bump into Nagato Hideto, who is wearing a hooded face and a knitted hat and is thinking about life.
Nagato Hidetomi raised his eyes and saw a strange man with a child rushing towards him, and in horror, he pressed the button to call the guards.
Fortunately, Hattori Heiji's father also has some friendship with Chairman Nagato, and it is Hattori Heizou's face that is lost, and it is not about Shiraishi.
confirmed that Nagato Hidetomi was not Shinji Akai, and the two returned in vain.
"Let's go." Shiraishi stood up, feeling that if he didn't leave, the two of them might have something to do again.
Although Conan and Hattori Heiji were very unwilling, now they are only suspicious, and there is no evidence of drug use by others. And this is not a homicide after all, it is not within their area of expertise.
The two eventually followed Shiraishi away.
Because they had been thinking about it, it wasn't until Shiraishi drove out for a long distance that they suddenly came back to their senses and regretted it very much - they forgot to ask Chairman Nagato to borrow a driver.
Only Mao Lilan whispered a sentence just now.
But Shiraishi said that he drove very steadily, and it was inconvenient to trouble others. Maolilan was embarrassed to retort directly.
In short, after realizing this fact, both Hattori Heiji and Conan immediately put the affairs of the Nagato family behind them and began to concentrate on Shiraishi driving.
The way back was relatively calm, so calm that Shiraishi was uncomfortable - there were two high school detectives sitting in the car, and they were walking through the woods in the suburbs where they were most likely to encounter something, and the tires of the car were not ...... all the way
"Drip-"
Just thinking of this, an indicator light on the dashboard lit up.
Shiraishi lowered his eyes and sighed.
Heiji Hattori was drowsy in the co-pilot when he suddenly heard movement next to him.
He sat up with a spirit, the person was not fully awake, and he had already mechanically stretched out his hand, trying to follow the rehearsal in his head, pulling the sleeping driver aside, and then pressing on the brakes.
Mao Lilan was startled and pressed him back to his seat: "Brother Baishi is still awake!" ”
“…… Well? Oh, sorry. Hattori rubbed his eyes and slowly came back to his senses.
Last night, he and Conan didn't close their eyes almost all night in order to investigate the cause of Takeda's death. This morning, I have been staring at Baishi driving intently. In the end, Shiraishi didn't fall asleep, but he fell asleep first.
Heiji Hattori is very faceless.
He cleared his throat and sat up straight pretending nothing had happened: "What's wrong?" ”
"I forgot to refuel." Shiraishi always felt like he had checked the condition of the fuel tank, and there was still a lot of oil at the time. But now think about it...... It seems that there was a lot of gasoline in Amuro's car last night, and I really forgot to look at this rented car.
…… Is this also the guide of the mission?
Shiraishi got out of the car and looked around, and his gaze quickly stopped somewhere.
Behind the cascades of trees, stands an ancient castle, the spire of which stands out in the air.
…… Sure enough, as long as you drive through the woods, you will definitely get a flat tire or get stuck in a quagmire, and encounter something.
Compared to the speed at which Dr. Asa and Mori Kogoro consumed cars, Shiraishi suddenly found that he just had no gas, which was completely acceptable.
At the same time that Shiraishi saw the ancient castle, the task also jumped out very quickly.
Shiraishi didn't squeak, and the other three began to discuss how to solve the problem on their own, and finally they all looked at the castle and came to the conclusion: "It is better to go to the family and buy some." ”
Many people store some gasoline at home, especially those who are built in the wilderness.
Shiraishi used the little gas left to drive the car to the side of the road to prevent it from occupying the road, and then got out of the car and walked with the others to the castle.
Before getting out of the car, he secretly stuffed a folding stick into his bag.
After approaching, there was no woods to cover it, and the whole picture of the ancient castle appeared in front of several people, which was even more magnificent than it looked from a distance just now.
"This kind of façade and pattern seems to be a long time ago." Hattori Heiji built a pergola and looked into the courtyard through the iron gate, "It should be a local tyrant who bought it from abroad and rebuilt it here." ”
There was no one in the yard.
Hattori rang the doorbell for a long time, and a gardener came out.
The gardener looked very unfriendly, probably annoyed by the harassment of passing tourists or reporters, and before they could speak, he preemptively spoke: "Go back!" Outsiders are not welcome here! ”
As the tool man detective continues to negotiate with the gardener, Shiraishi looks at the courtyard and notices several large chess statues on the grass.
Looking at the castle's excessively high spire, and the traces of fire on the other side, Shiraishi suddenly circled one of the many suburban incidents, and decided that if the gardener was determined not to let people go, he would sleep in the car later, and then sneak in with a mask to solve the problem.
As for gasoline...... You can wait for the police to come, rub their car back, and drag the car along with it by the way.
However, these solutions do not seem to be needed.
Behind the gardener, a middle-aged man with a square face walked over.
He stared at Heiji Hattori and Shiraishi for a moment—especially Heiji Hattori—before suddenly asking, "Are you detectives?" ”
Hattori Heiji nodded, he did often appear in the newspaper, although for some reason, his photos in the black and white newspapers were illegible, but there were always a few good eyes that could be seen.
Shiraishi nodded his head. He is actually not a detective, but because he has been in contact with several clients such as celebrities, he has also rubbed a little corner in the newspaper.
Seeing the two of them nodding, Mamiya twisted the mustache on his lips, thinking it was wonderful.
- He is the son-in-law who came in. Before his father-in-law died, he left a mystery in the castle and said, "I want to give the supreme treasure to the one who solves the puzzle."
This description made a group of people think about it, and of course Mamiya was very excited. But unfortunately, he is not the material for solving the mystery, and after so many years, he still hasn't found anything.
Recently, information has become more developed, and detectives from all over the world have become more famous.
After reading a few related reports, he suddenly felt that he could use the power of detectives.
- Anyway, detectives take money to do things, as long as they are used as puzzle-solving tools, the "people who solve mysteries" are still themselves, and they are not against their father-in-law's instructions.
So Mitsumi collected a lot of detective-related newspaper clippings.
Originally, he was still struggling with which one to choose, but he didn't expect that today, someone would send it to the door by himself.
