Vodka turned on the radio and listened expectantly.
The hard work paid off, and not long after, he heard a report - there was a small car accident on the road behind him, the traffic police were dealing with it, and the host reminded the listeners to take a detour.
"Did that guy really get stopped by Uzo?"
Vodka felt a hint of joy in his heart: "That guy Uzo occasionally does some human affairs. He is as measured as the elder brother said, and he knows how to deal with the outside world unanimously at critical moments... Huh? Wait, that's not right!"
Halfway through the compliment, Vodka suddenly sobered up: "But if I think about it carefully, if that kid hadn't suddenly called me, I would have slipped away just now. Akai wouldn't have noticed me at all, and I wouldn't have been so worried along the way.
"The trouble he caused was solved by himself, and I am very grateful to him for it..."
This current situation made Vodka suddenly alert, and the favorability level that had just risen was instantly cleared with one click: "What a danger, I almost stepped into his sweet trap like those idiots who are devoted to him! Fortunately, I have insight into his.
The essence... speaking of it, it's no wonder those guys fell for it one after another - even I almost fell for it. Those of them who know nothing about 'Uzo' will only be in a more difficult situation."
With a bit of joy, he didn't dare to leave the vodka any longer. He took the opportunity to speed up and hurried back to Tokyo with vigilance.
…
A few minutes ago, he was 2 kilometers away behind him.
Akai Shuichi looked at the luxury car that met him at the corner, then suddenly had a tire blowout, hit the mountain wall, bounced back and scratched him: "..."
For a moment, he wanted to just step on the accelerator and run over it, continuing his pursuit.
... However, his reason told him that driving a car with a crooked front bumper on the road would only attract everyone's attention, including of course the rats in the dark.
This operation can only be suspended for now.
This little harm, but highly disruptive, made Hide Akai's eyes twitch, and he could not contain his murderous intention.
But as a mature adult, he certainly won't let this emotion affect his actions.
Soon, Akai Shuichi's eyes moved and fell on the owner of the luxury car who ran out of the car in a daze.
"I'm really sorry, my car broke down again." The car owner looked at Akai Shuichi's knocked-up car and felt a little unreasonable. He softened his tone and said, "Don't worry, I will fully compensate for your losses - but your car
It should still be able to drive. Could you please take me home first? I have something to do tonight and I can’t spend all my time here.”
Akai Shuichi: "..." again?
He looked at the car owner and said, "Does your car often get into accidents?"
"It's not that often. It's just that the car repair shop has been lazy lately. I have decided to sue those guys and there will be results soon." The car owner said, opened his car door and got into the passenger seat.
, "Follow that road, my home is not far from the mountain."
Akai Shuichi looked at his extremely natural movements: "...?" When did I promise to take you home?
...But he didn't refuse in the end. Idleness is nothing, so let's see if this guy immobilized his car, whether it was an accident or man-made.
With this thought in mind, Akai Shuichi started driving before the traffic police arrived, and drove in the direction pointed by the car owner.
…
"My name is Hota Kosaku." The owner of the luxury car sat in the passenger seat for a while before he recovered from the car accident. He touched his pocket and handed two business cards to Shuichi Akai, "The one below is my butler. The subsequent compensation
Just contact him about the matter. If you are not satisfied with the handling, just call the number on the other business card and let me know."
Akai Shuichi took the business card and saw the title on it, his eyes moved slightly: President of Hotta Heavy Industries... If I remember correctly, this company is quite large, and Uzo's tentacles have already extended to the business world.
He put away his business card and drove along the winding mountain road on the fork to the top of the mountain.
Soon, a luxurious and elegant villa appeared in front of them.
In the vast garden, an older middle-aged man was wearing work clothes and diligently tidying up the pool.
Seeing a car with a crooked bumper driving into the garden, he wiped his sweat, straightened up and looked over in confusion.
Akai Shuichi stopped the car, and President Hotta pushed the door open. He said to the butler who was looking over here: "Yamauchi, come here."
"Sir!" Butler Yamauchi trotted over in surprise. He looked at this strange car and then at his employer, "What are you..."
President Hotta: "My car had a puncture halfway and I couldn't drive it anymore. If this gentleman hadn't sent me here, I would still be waiting for a tow truck at the bottom of the mountain - but the bumper of his car was crooked by me.
, you take care of it, pay for what should be compensated and repair it."
"Okay!" Butler Yamauchi looked at Akai Shuichi who had just stepped out of the car, "I'm sorry to trouble you. Please go sit inside first and leave the rest to me."
President Hotta nodded with satisfaction and looked towards the room: "By the way, are Koichi and the others here?"
"We're here." Butler Yamauchi said, "They came home from get off work early and were worried when they saw you hadn't arrived yet."
President Hotta snorted coldly: "You didn't even give me a call if you were worried. I think they want me to die in a car accident."
As he was thinking of something, he turned to Akai Shu and said, "By the way, I'm going to have a birthday party tonight. It's a simple family banquet - you're all here, why don't you stay for dinner?
This is to express my apology to you."
…
When Shuichi Akai inexplicably had an extra meal on his schedule.
In the hospital on the other side.
Jiang Xia called Maori Kogoro and told him about Mao Lilan, and by the way hinted that a driver was needed here.
I thought I would have to wait a while to see the neighbor's uncle, but Mouri Kogoro asked about the location and said, "I'll be there in 10 minutes."
"?" Jiang Xia looked at her phone, "Did Dr. Ali develop any new acceleration technology?"
Mouri Kogoro snorted: "Who dares to use his technology that explodes and travels at supersonic speeds - I just happened to accept a nearby commission."
"A commission?" Jiang Xia became interested, "What commission?"
Mouri Kogoro saw what he was thinking at a glance: "Don't think about good things. That bastard client lied to me and said that there was a life-threatening case for me to handle, but who knew when I came, he actually just asked me to help
He was looking for a cat - just a cat, and he tricked me into coming all the way here, which is too much!"
Conan also noticed that they were talking on the phone. When he heard this, he couldn't help but come over: "But Uncle Maoli, you usually take on the task of finding cats and dogs."
