"So, you seem to have gained their trust," Belmode asked, "will you abide by our agreement?"
"Of course," Toru Amuro said softly with a slight smile on his lips, "I will keep your matter a secret."
"Then I wish you all the best, and be careful..." Belmod looked in the direction of Chi Feichi and found that Chi Feichi was standing behind the car and looked up. He immediately withdrew his gaze and started the motorcycle.
He said to the other person on the phone, "Be careful of dangerous people."
"Oh? The dangerous person you are talking about is..."
"I'm just expressing my concern. I hope you will be careful in everything and don't underestimate anyone."
Belmode was perfunctory, hung up the phone, and evacuated the overpass by bicycle.
On the road below, when Chi Feichi raised his head to look at the overpass, he walked to Huiyuan Ai and looked up too. But he didn't know if it was because he was short and couldn't see what was going on behind the railings of the overpass. Just as he was wondering, he suddenly heard
When we reached the overpass, the sound of motorcycles seemed to fade away, and my face changed again and again.
There was someone on the overpass, could it be a member of the organization from which she sensed the dangerous aura? Did the other person appear here for her, or was he spying on Brother Fei Chi?
Maybe it has something to do with her sister's boyfriend?
Chi Feichi didn't see anyone clearly on the overpass. He just noticed someone staring at him and subconsciously looked up. After seeing the overpass, he guessed that Belmod was there. He vaguely heard the motorcycle leaving.
The voice became more and more certain to be that of Belmod. He withdrew his gaze and continued to check the rear of his car.
Hui Yuan Ai looked away, took a step forward, approached Chi Feichi, and tentatively asked, "Brother Feichi, was there anyone on the overpass just now?"
"I felt like someone was watching me over there, so I took a look," Chi Feichi said. "But I didn't see clearly who it was. Maybe someone passing by from above saw the car crash here and took a curious look.
lively."
Haibara Ai:"……"
Speaking of which, it is possible.
"Fei Chi," Dr. Ali walked towards the two of them and asked with concern, "How is the car? How about you? Are you injured?"
"I'm fine. The car is in a bit of trouble. The car shell on one side of the rear was hit with a dent mark." Chi Feichi walked to the side of the car and looked down at the long mark of red paint falling off the body. "The car body
The scratch marks almost extend from the rear of the car to the side of the first row of doors, and it won't work if it doesn't be sent for repair."
After receiving Mao Lilan's concerned greetings, Conan also walked aside to see Chi Feichi's condition. Hearing what Chi Feichi said, he followed the probe and looked at the long scratches. He could somewhat understand Chi Feichi's annoyed mood.
, "Brother Chi, just two days ago, the Lexus manufacturer announced that the SC model will be officially discontinued in one month, right?"
Chi Feichi: "..."
That's right, after "the birthplace of Rak wine decided to limit alcohol consumption," his little red car also followed suit and was classified as "no longer in production" by the manufacturer.
Otherwise, why would that person rush him out for a ride? Wasn't it because he was worried that he would be depressed about this matter, so he locked himself in the laboratory and refused to go out?
He didn't care as much as that person thought. Staying in the laboratory was purely due to nature and had nothing to do with his mood. However, when it came to this matter, he was not completely unmoved.
The reason why raki is restricted by its origin is due to religion and politics, and the Lexus SC is discontinued because of its cost-effectiveness and lower-than-expected revenue for the manufacturer, but the two also have many similarities.
The former was once the national drink, loved by countless people, and even exported to countries all over the world. During the period when raki was popular, many local people regarded it as a symbol of spiritual belief, an indispensable drink for recreation, and some people regarded it as
As for pride, no matter what kind of drink they compare with, raki is the best in their hearts.
The latter also had a popular period. When the SC model was launched, the manufacturer's publicity was in full swing. Lexus wanted to give it all the good things. Even if it wanted to have everything, the result was that it had no particularly commendable advantages, but its
The hard-top convertible design was also the pride of the manufacturer, and its safety and stability were also praised again and again.
Then at a certain period of time, they also became "unnecessary" and their vitality was cut off from the source.
The raki on the market now has basically become a "simple value alcoholic drink", with a single type, not very good taste, and more expensive than drinks of the same quality. There are not many bars in Japan that have raki, and some are more cost-effective.
It has been replaced by ouzo, and it is even rare to see it in places like convenience stores. In some large shopping malls, there will be a bottle of raki on the corner of the shelf, but it seems that no one has picked it up for a long time.
There are still people who remember Raki in the place where it was produced, and those wine collectors who bought the ‘out-of-print’ version from the black market also remember it, but its vitality is slowly losing its vitality.
As time goes by, when he goes to the bar to specify a certain cocktail that has also been added with raki, the young bartender may tell him - 'We always add XX anisette', 'Sorry, we have
No raki'…
What will happen next, he doesn't know.
The ending of the Lexus SC will not be much better. They have been brilliant, but the light is also fleeting. They are neither as memorable as the absinthe of the past, nor are they like those with outstanding performance in one aspect.
Or just like discontinued cars whose fame spreads all over the world, if they can still become a hot topic among mankind after many years, they are destined to be forgotten by more and more people and eventually buried in graves.
But then again, when things in the world are no longer paid attention to, lose their vitality and are completely buried, they are just moving ahead.
In fact, when he stopped taking the drug in the morning, the person who asked him how he felt about stopping the drug also mentioned that he originally wanted to change the code name of raki.
That person didn't mention this for no reason. They didn't mention anything about production suspension or alcohol restriction before that. It was probably the alcohol restriction first, and then the car he often drove was stopped. Even that person
They all felt that the omen was not good, and they were a little shaken by the establishment of his code name.
Changing the code name that has been determined can easily cause docking problems, and there seems to be no such precedent before. However, if that person mentioned this matter, he made it clear that he did not like the code name, and put the alcohol restriction and the discontinuation of the car into consideration.
After discussing everything, that person will definitely discuss with him the feasibility of changing the code name, how to minimize the impact and inconvenience, and finally decide how to solve the problem.
However, when that person mentioned it, he just replied - 'I like it now'.
He doesn't want to change his code name.
If possible, that person doesn't seem to want to change his code name.
"Although parts manufacturers will continue to produce parts, not many people bought SC models. After the suspension of production, parts manufacturers will definitely reduce the production of SC model parts and choose to make more parts for popular models," Conan watched carefully from the side.
Looking at the scratch marks on the car, "And I heard that the red paint of this car is less likely to be stored by repairmen. Repairs should be very slow and the price will be more expensive than before..."
"I'm so sorry!" The young woman who was driving the blue car was followed by Mao Lilan. She walked to the side of the car, looked at the scratch marks on the car, and bowed nervously to apologize, "I'm very sorry, I accidentally scratched myself.
I am willing to bear the cost of repairing your car, please forgive me!"
"It's a special situation. I'll bear the repair costs myself," Chi Feichi said, looking at Conan again. "When I bought the car, I purchased special repair services from the manufacturer. All I had to do was call someone to send the car over.
It won’t be too much trouble.”
There was a stipulation in the original maintenance contract that during the ten years after buying the car, the manufacturer was responsible for all maintenance and replacement of original parts of the car. Previously, because it could be repaired by going to a nearby repair shop, it did not want to go through the trouble of sending it to the original factory.
Now it is obviously more worry-free to send it to the original factory.
In fact, even without the intervention of the original factory, the parts manufacturing factory and repair shop under the Mayike Group can ensure that his little red car has no shortage of parts. It’s just that at that time, it was more worry-free to buy this kind of service.
As for ten years from now...
Who will be the largest investor in the Lexus manufacturer at that time?
If Lexus hadn't been so defensive this time that Umbrella's funds couldn't be invested for a while, he would have interfered with the Lexus SC production suspension plan.
Precisely because Lexus announced that it will officially cease production of the SC next month, Ikekana quietly raised the importance of the plan to "suppress a certain consortium and invest in Lexus" yesterday.
He wanted to use Ark to revise the importance of this plan this morning, only to realize that Ikegana had already adjusted it one step ahead of him.
In less than ten years, he can decide for himself whether to re-produce the Lexus SC.
Sure enough, as long as you are strong enough, there is no destiny that cannot be changed.
After hearing what Chi Feichi said, Conan understood - as long as there is enough money, there is no such thing as slow repair progress.
The young woman was already prepared to be criticized by Chi Feichi before she came. She didn't expect that Chi Feichi was so easy to talk to. She straightened up in surprise, looked at Chi Feichi's calm face, and then turned to look at the person being guarded by Maori Kogoro.
The middle-aged woman said, "But, but just now..."
"It's because her attitude is so bad," Conan explained with a smile, "Brother Chi's car was scratched by someone before. If the other person had a good attitude, he wouldn't care about it, but that aunt just now
She knew clearly that she had scratched someone else's car, but she also viciously warned Brother Chi not to meddle in her own business. People who were already in a bad mood because their car was scratched by innocent people would angrily chase her after her and say something like that with a bad attitude.
This sentence is also normal, right?"
Mao Lilan: "..."
If the person with a bad attitude was a person holding a pistol who appeared to have kidnapped a child and ran away, would a normal person drive after him and compete with him?
The young woman also wanted to say, 'It's not normal,' but she hesitated and decided not to say something that might offend others. She smiled at Conan and asked, "By the way, little brother, you and this
Have you known each other before? And that old gentleman over there, did he come here specifically to save you?"
