Chapter 263 Leave My Tire Alone
Jiang Xia doesn't fit in with this group of busy and wealthy bosses.
However, a case had already happened last night, so the possibility of another incident happening immediately is not high.
So, seeing that Toru Amuro was also planning to return to Tokyo, Jiang Xia decisively went over to say hello.
...Thinking carefully, this time he met Amuro Toru during his travels, but he only got a ghost. Jiang Xia felt that this boss who was like a double experience card still had potential to be exploited.
Toru Amuro failed to see through the ghost picker's intention to get something for free.
Seeing Jiang Xia coming with his family, he casually asked, "How are you going to get back?"
Jiang Xia: "First take the train to the station, then take the Shinkansen."
As he said this, he looked implicitly at Amuro Toru's spacious car.
Amuro Toru understood Jiang Xia's desire and thought he was too embarrassed to say it directly, so he took the initiative to invite him: "I'll take you there. It's not convenient to travel with a child."
The main thing is that the little boy is too dishonest. It gives Jiang Xia a headache just thinking about it.
Having said that, Jiang Xia doesn't have much experience in raising naughty children. He must have experienced some harsh treatment from society on the way here, which is why he was craving for his car on the way back - if he lets go of the child in the car, the child won't be able to run around.
Haibara Ai, who was following behind Jiang Xia, thought that Amuro Toru was a member of the organization after all, and felt that Jiang Xia would refuse.
Unexpectedly, Jiang Xia, who was being pulled by her clothes, quickly responded: "Then thank you for your help."
Huihara Ai raised her head and looked at him stiffly: "......?"
...Leaving aside the safety issue, why is Jiang Xia not as reserved with other wines as he was with Shirley before?
Amuro Toru clearly also increased Jiang Xia's workload without his permission - Jiang Xia said that this person asked him to help attract attention yesterday, so in Jiang Xia's opinion, Amuro Toru should also be that annoying "leader next door who picks up strong men at random".
Unless this person is actually Jiang Xia’s current direct superior, not counting the leader next door…
As Haibara Ai thought about it, she felt that this must be the truth.
But I still feel that I am being treated differently. Happiness -1, -1, -1.
She thought of the pile of tonics that she hadn't been able to give away before. Oh, she would mix them all into Jiang Xia's soup in a few days...
…
On the way back, Toru Amuro vaguely felt that the introverted little girl seemed to not want to talk to him.
Conan, on the other hand, was lying in the gap between the two front seats, asking questions non-stop, just like he was checking someone's household registration.
Toru Amuro sighed secretly, thinking that if the personalities of these two children could be balanced, everything would be normal.
How did Jiang Xia cope with it on the way here? ... It was not easy.
When Conan and Amuro Toru were chatting, Haibara Ai listened quietly, ready to interrupt Conan when he asked any suicidal questions - Jiang Xia seemed to be catching up on her sleep in the front seat, she was really carefree, so she had to help out a little.
The reason why Haibara Ai didn't want to pay attention to Amuro Toru was not entirely because of Jiang Xia's behavior just now, but because she felt that Amuro Toru was very different: if you didn't feel his aura and only looked at his words and actions, he didn't look like a member of an organization at all.
However, Huiyuan Ai thought cautiously that this did not mean that Amuro Toru was really a good person. It was heard that some members with code names and whose identities had not been exposed would indeed hide in society like this and do their jobs normally. If the organization did not suddenly issue a mission, then they would look like people who had nothing to do with the organization.
But often these people are the most dangerous, and we must be vigilant...
Haibara Ai just held on to the back of Jiang Xia's chair diligently and remained vigilant all the way.
Jiang Xia had fallen asleep a long time ago. This boring time on the road was just right for him to replenish his energy and reduce the consumption of murderous aura.
Conan was finally tired of asking questions. He sat back in his seat with a look of relief in Toru Amuro's eyes, then looked out the window and began to review the information he had just asked, trying to analyze whether there was anything wrong with Toru Amuro - he was still a little concerned about Xiaobai's anesthesia of Toru Amuro. Of course, in addition to this, "riding in the car was too boring" also accounted for a large part of the reason.
…
The car soon left Izu and headed towards Tokyo.
When we arrived in the suburbs and were passing through a woods, there was a sudden loud "bang" from the side of the car, followed by a violent shake of the car body - the tire had burst.
Jiang Xia was awakened by the noise. After realizing what happened, his surprise quickly turned into surprise.
Then he began to skillfully gather puppets in the trunk. Well, he remembered that Amuro Toru had the habit of carrying a spare tire in his car.
At the same time, Jiang Xia looked around. Sure enough, about ten meters away, he saw a villa standing in the woods.
In the wilderness, a car has a flat tire, there is a villa nearby, and a mobile phone...
Jiang Xia took out his cell phone and took a look, and was relieved to find that there was no signal.
Perfect.
...Toru Amuro is indeed a reliable card who never disappoints.
At the same time, Jiang Xia briefly possessed the puppet he had just made, opened his eyes in the trunk, and broke Amuro Toru's spare tire.
...I want to go to the attractive forest cabin next door to find out what's going on, but of course I can't let Toru Amuro fix the tire smoothly.
I have to find an excuse like "borrowing the phone" to go inside and take a look.
…
Toru Amuro also realized what was happening. He quickly stabilized the vehicle and stopped on the side of the road.
At the same time, I couldn't help but wonder if this was an illusion? Why did I get a flat tire every time I went out with these people?
Before, his spare tire was kept in the car for a year or so and was never used, but now... the owner of the auto repair shop is suggesting that he apply for an annual card.
Thinking of this, Amuro Toru subconsciously looked at the other people in the car.
Jiang Xia woke up and looked out the window as if he was in a daze, then looked down at his phone, as if to check the time. Well, it fits the state of "who am I, where am I, and what time is it now" when suddenly awakened, and it seems to be fine.
As for the other two...
The cold little girl hugged the passenger seat and stuck to the back of the chair, with no expression on her face. But judging by her movements, she seemed a little panicked, just like a child would react.
Conan on the other hand...
Amuro Toru looked at Conan and gradually became a little confused. Why was he so calm? The tire burst made a lot of noise, and the violent vibration of the car body just now could easily scare a child...
Amuro Toru asked him suspiciously: "Aren't you afraid?"
"Ah?" Conan was originally looking around, but when he heard this question, he retracted his gaze and wanted to refute - how could he, a high school student, be scared by a mere flat tire.
...It's a pity that I can't say this.
Conan could only make up an excuse: "Are you talking about a flat tire? I'm not afraid. I've always encountered this kind of thing before. The doctor who often took me out to play, the quality of his tires was not very good..."
As he was speaking, his tone paused - for some reason, the look in Toru Amuro's eyes when he looked at him became strange.
