Conan whispered: "Fortunately, you were careful enough when you parked the car just now and hid the car in an inconspicuous corner...Give me the car keys and I will drive the Beetle away. Doctor, wait for them to enter the house and start from here."
Go out the side door, go around to their car, and drive their car away!"
Dr. A Li had just come back to his senses, but he was so frightened that he almost dropped his head again: "Me? Steal the black organization's car?"
Conan spoke quickly: "Actually, it would be more appropriate for me to go, but the driver's seat of that car is longer than your Beetle, and I'm afraid I can't reach the accelerator - our car is too distinctive and must not be seen by them.
And if you just drive away in the Beetle and don’t drive away their car, they will catch up to you sooner or later.”
Although Dr. Ali was still scared, he also realized that this seemed to be a life-threatening moment. He struggled for a long time and nodded vigorously: "Okay, I will try."
Conan nodded, looking up at the dark night outside through the side door window: "I hope this heavy snow will continue until tomorrow morning, trapping these two guys here until we finish 'trading' the software... And if they unfortunately get out of trouble
, then we can only blame Taku Itakura’s other clients for driving away the car, hoping to hide it from Vodka for a while.”
In the middle of muttering, he suddenly raised his ears and looked tense: "Listen, the door rang - they came in, take action!"
After giving the order, the two people sneakily ran out of the side door. They avoided the window and ran towards their respective target vehicles on their short legs.
…
"There seems to be no one."
After following Jiang Xia around the rooms and not meeting anyone, Subaru Okiya couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief, and his bad mood improved.
Jiang Xia sighed: "It seems that Conan and the others are not here. But it is really strange that there is no one there even though the lights are on - if it were in the city, the owner might have gone to a nearby convenience store, but in this wilderness,
Where can the people in the house go?”
Okiya Subaru: "..." Maybe he has been hanged in the woods, forming a strange scene with no or only a series of footprints around, waiting for you to break through and solve the case.
A corpse was hanging on a branch in the wild forest, swaying with the wind and snow. This ghostly scene made Subaru Okiya shiver. He wanted to go back to the apartment immediately and shrink back into his soft and safe bed.
among.
However, as a migrant worker whose life is in the hands of others... he can only echo without emotion: "Yes, where have people gone?"
Jiang Xia thought for a while: "With this kind of weather, we shouldn't be able to walk far. Let's go and have a look nearby."
Okiya Subaru's heart skipped a beat: "..." It's coming! The corpse in the snow is coming!
However, when he returned to the door and opened the door, the poor graduate student discovered something worse than encountering a corpse.
——His new car is missing!!
"Where's my car?!" This time, Subaru Okiya's tone was much more real, with a hint of resentment in his shock: He only guarded against murderers, but forgot to guard against thieves... Why are there car thieves in the wilderness?
!
...Speaking of which, will this car be reimbursed by the organization?
Forget it, just for a mere car, it wasn't worth running into that evil... adult's sight. He might as well work harder and earn back the money for the car himself.
…
"Doctor, doctor! Your car broke down!"
Conan stretched himself into a long line, sometimes slamming down on the accelerator, sometimes standing on the stool and turning the steering wheel.
The Beetle drove awkwardly for several kilometers, then suddenly stalled and stopped in the woods on the roadside.
Next to him, Dr. Ari, who was driving at the same speed, did not hear Conan's shout, but saw his Beetle break down.
He quickly parked the new car he had just turned aside: "What's wrong? Don't you want to keep walking?"
Conan pointed to the dashboard: "Can't start the fire."
Dr. A Li sighed: "The style of my old car is a bit old. If I had known this day, I should have made some modifications to it."
"How far did you drive?" Conan looked back and looked into the distance, calculated the time, and estimated the distance, and he made up his mind:
"I deliberately avoided the door when driving. They should only notice the ruts you left. With the current wind speed and heavy snow, the tire tracks will soon become blurred - this distance should be enough, just throw the car away
Here, pretend to be a broken down passerby and ask a tow truck to come over tomorrow to tow it."
As he said that, he packed up the things on the Beetle, opened the door and got out of the car, and jumped into Dr. Agasa's car: "Quick, we must rush back to Tokyo as soon as possible - I hope there won't be any more accidents on the way."
…
When an old and a young car thief ran away together.
The other side.
Jiang Xia and the others left the villa and followed the tracks of Okiya Subaru's car until they reached the road.
Looking around, there was only an empty road covered with snow, and the vehicles and people on them had long since disappeared.
Okiya Subaru sighed, and suddenly felt that this scene was so familiar. He seemed to have seen it in many novels - wasn't this the legendary Blizzard Villa model?
As expected, Master Uzo still likes to play with this classic stage set...
"Huh?" He was suddenly startled, "A car is coming from that way!"
Jiang Xia pulled up her mask, stood on the roadside and waved.
The approaching vehicle stopped. A man with an unshaven beard lowered his window and asked in confusion: "What's going on?"
Jiang Xia: "I don't know who stole our car - you seem to be heading towards Tokyo, can you give us a ride on the way?"
"Tokyo?" The man scratched his chin, turned around and asked the woman who was sitting up in the back seat, "What do you think?"
The woman was just catching up on her sleep. When she heard this, she yawned and looked at the three people outside: "Okay, I'm on my way anyway."
The man thought of something and turned back to Jiang Xia: "Do you know the roads in this area?"
Jiang Xia looked at Okiya Subaru.
Subaru Okiya nodded bravely: He used to follow his professor to various places for study sessions, and of course many of them drove to Gunma County.
"Great! It's snowing too much tonight. Just now I was worried that I might accidentally take the wrong road." The driver cheerfully pointed to the passenger seat and said to Subaru, "In that case, you can sit in the passenger seat and help me show the way.
, the two of them sit in the back seat, just enough space to squeeze in."
There are a little too many people, but fortunately Haihara Ai is a child and doesn't take up much space.
Soon, the fully loaded vehicles started driving towards Tokyo.
Subaru Okiya looked at the receding scenery outside the window and sighed for the passing of his new car.
At the same time, he couldn't help but take another look at other people's cars: "The driver's seat is actually on the left. Did you bring this car in from abroad?"
