Then, the two were thrown into the trunk.
Kiyoshima Yoshiko wanted to put tape on the two men and tie them up, but Kuroda Taro pushed them into the car and said impatiently, "Don't worry, with that amount of ether, those two guys will never wake up in an hour. We have to leave quickly. The fire over there has been burning for too long. I'm afraid someone will notice something is wrong soon. We can't waste any more time."
Then, several people got in the car, started the car and left.
It turned out that what Kuroda Taro said was right. In just six or seven minutes, Oda and Yamamoto caught up with him.
However, the modified white car had long since disappeared.
In the dark trunk, Atobe Keimitsu slowly opened his eyes, moved his hands and feet slightly, and found that he was not tied up. He couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
His nose was filled with the smell of the car's low-quality gasoline and the unpleasant smell of the trunk. He frowned uncomfortably.
Then he tentatively reached out and touched his brother Keigo Atobe beside him. Feeling his even breathing and warm body, he finally let go of the worry that had been hanging in his stomach, although only half of it.
Afterwards, I felt the car moving along the way and listened to the noisy voices and lively horns outside. We should be in the downtown area now.
Atobe Kagemitsu recalled the famous car catalogs and vehicle structure diagrams that he had glanced at out of interest before.
Although it is highly likely that this car will not be a good one, the structure should be similar...
Atobe Keimitsu groped around in the darkness.
Unfortunately, there was nothing in the trunk except an empty barrel of gasoline.
According to what he read in a book, some vehicles are equipped with a trunk that can be opened from the inside. The original intention of the design was to allow people in the car to escape in an emergency. So maybe the trunk can be opened from the inside.
The book says,
Generally speaking, trunks with rear seats that can be folded down are usually equipped with emergency escape devices, and different types of escape devices have different opening methods.
1. Covered escape device: It can be opened by prying open the cover and turning the lock core. It is located close to the lock core.
2. Pull ring and pull cord escape device: Pull the pull ring and pull cord hard to open it.
3. Built-in escape device: In a hidden hole, it can be opened by pushing it with the help of a tool.
He remembered that there was actually an escape device in the trunk.
If you encounter an accident and the car door cannot be opened, you can use this device to quickly open the trunk.
Because it is not a commonly used switch, its location is relatively hidden, usually near the trunk lock, and it is a button in the form of a handle.
Some have pull ropes, some have crescent-shaped switches, etc. The opening methods vary depending on the type of car.
However, after groping around in the dark, Atobe Keimitsu regretfully discovered that none of the things recorded in the book were in the trunk of the car!
This means that this car is not a model with foldable rear seats.
It was rare that Atobe Keimitsu showed a hint of depression and disappointment.
But he did not give up, and continued to test around the car lights.
Soon, his efforts paid off.
The headlight seemed to become a little loose and tilted slightly as he moved it.
In the end, Jing Guang, using all his strength, could only make the car light leave a gap about the thickness of his two fingers.
However, this was enough for him to observe the outside world.
Then he threw a few rose petals hidden in his pocket through the gap between the car lights.
