Because there were children (by mistake) and old people (by mistake) in the car, it was naturally impossible for Yuanhuaiyu to accelerate to a terrifying speed like just now.
I just drove smoothly towards Tokyo at the speed I usually drive in the city.
By the way, although Dr. Ali looks quite old due to his white hair and baldness, he is only fifty-two or thirteen years old at the moment.
Sitting in the back seat, Conan finally calmed down the violent fluctuations in his heart and finally discovered that the passenger car was a fake gun.
At the same time, he was always paying attention to whether the radio station was broadcasting the news of Itakura Taku's death, and he was slightly relieved, because the radio station continued to broadcast news about the jewelry robber.
This means that people in that organization should not know about the death of Itakura Taku...
He glanced at Yuanhuaiyu guiltily and asked tentatively:
"Teacher Yuan, why are you coming out at this time... uh, for a ride?"
Yuan Huaiyu glanced at him: "If I said that I foresaw that you would have a flat tire on the road and came out to pick you up, would you believe this explanation?"
Conan shook his head.
If Yuan Huaiyu has grasped their whereabouts and knows what the two of them are doing in Qunma County tonight, it means that his next actions cannot be continued in any case, otherwise there is a possibility that what awaits him
It's a game of catching a turtle in a jar.
But it would be too metaphysical to predict that Dr. Ali's Beetle would have a flat tire, and he didn't believe it anyway.
Suddenly, the car turned a corner, and Conan heard a muffled sound coming from the trunk.
That was the sound of heavy objects colliding with the car body due to inertia.
What's in the trunk?
Conan immediately judged that there must be something heavy in the trunk.
With this judgment in mind, while Yuan Huaiyu was chatting with Dr. A Li, he deliberately took off his earphones and listened carefully to what was going on in the trunk while driving.
[Wait! There is a groaning sound! Is there a living person in the trunk?!]
He originally wanted to ask Yuan Huaiyu, but he immediately gave up the dangerous idea.
Are you kidding me? Why are there live people inside?!
This is definitely related to some illegal crime, right?
If I bring it up, something bad will definitely happen, right?
And judging from the weight, it’s probably even more than one person!
What on earth did this guy do?
Just like that, the frantic Conan quickly put on the headphones again, pretending not to hear anything or knowing anything, and sat obediently in the back seat, listening to Yuan Huaiyu and Dr. A Li talking about inventions and creations.
topic.
"I really didn't expect that Mr. Yuan, you are so knowledgeable. I really benefited a lot from it!"
Dr. A Li, who originally just wanted to find something to say to avoid embarrassment, now had his eyes shining.
Whenever he talked about the difficulties he encountered when making inventions, Yuan Huaiyu, who was driving, could always put forward some opinions and suggestions from a quite novel perspective.
"No, I am a science teacher after all. I am involved in all aspects of natural science, but I am definitely not as good as you, Dr. A Li."
Yuan Huaiyu said with a smile.
As Dr. Ali was talking, an inexplicable feeling of familiarity suddenly came to his heart.
Many years ago, he once wanted to chat with someone like this at an expo.
However, after taking a look at Yuan Huaiyu's young face, he finally laughed and shook his head.
[How is this possible? It’s been so long...]
Time passed by minute by minute, and the seconds felt like years. Edogawa Conan, who felt like he was in prison, and Dr. Agasa, who had completely forgotten the passage of time, suddenly saw a level appearing in front of them.
Yuanhuaiyu stepped on the brakes and stopped steadily in front of the checkpoint.
The three of them took a closer look and saw that there were police officers conducting road inspections.
"Please take out your driver's license..."
Yuan Huaiyu rolled down the window quite cooperatively, and a certain monster hunter police officer walked to the car door and stretched out his hand.
"Ah! Officer Yamamura!"
Conan shouted.
This is the territory of Gunma County, so it is not that unexpected to meet Yamamura Cao.
"This is a road check to catch gem robbers, right?"
Conan asked proactively.
"Ah, it's Conan..." Police Officer Yamamura bent down, "Yes, the three robbers abandoned the stolen car and disappeared. However, some of the three were injured, so I don't think they will."
Going too far..."
"Injured?" Conan repeated.
"Yes! I fired a shot to warn them, but unexpectedly it just hit a prisoner in the thigh!"
Officer Yamamura was excited when he mentioned this: "It's as cool as a police movie!"
"Ahem, in short, the three robbers may have escaped in a prepared car or robbed a car on the road..."
Realizing that he was getting carried away, Police Officer Yamamura quickly got back to the topic.
"Have you ever seen such a suspicious person?"
"Nope..."
Conan shook his head and suddenly froze, as if he remembered something, and looked at Yuanhuaiyu in front of him in shock.
Sure enough, Yuan Huaiyu opened his mouth.
"Are you talking about the kind of suspicious person where three people are walking on the road in the wilderness, and one of them has an injury to his thigh?"
"Yes, yes, have you seen them?"
Yamamura Cao suddenly looked at Yuanhuaiyu and hesitated when he saw this unfamiliar face.
"I don't know who this gentleman is..."
"He is a teacher in our school, his name is Yuan Huaiyu."
"Oh! So you are the famous Mr. Yuan! I have admired my name for a long time!"
Shan Cuncao immediately held Yuan Huaiyu's hand enthusiastically.
"I have heard about you from my colleagues at the Metropolitan Police Headquarters for a long time, but I never expected to meet in a place like this. You said you saw people who were suspected of being the three jewel robbers?"
Yamamura Cao finally did not forget about the business. He let go of his hand and took out a pen and notebook: "Can you please tell me how long ago it was and where I saw them?"
Yuan Huaiyu pointed towards the back of the car:
"Well, it's in the trunk. I was planning to drop by to hand these three guys over to the police later, but it seems I don't have to make this trip now."
"……ha?"
Yamamura Cao opened his mouth wide, and the pen and notebook in his hand fell to the ground with a clatter.
"You're not joking, are you?"
"It's just a little thief I caught casually, nothing worth joking about."
Yuan Huaiyu opened the door and got out of the car, walked to the trunk, and lifted the trunk lid with one hand.
Conan and Dr. Ari also got out of the car at the same time and looked into the trunk with the police who gathered around them.
"Uh-huh!"
"Uh-huh!"
The small trunk was packed full of three people, two men and one woman.
Seeing the trunk being opened, the three people who were gagged made excited noises and were almost moved to tears.
The mountain village police officer stepped forward and took off the cloth from the mouth of the woman. A miserable and hoarse wail instantly cut through the sky.
