Chapter 2823 2835 [Robbery]
Conan whispered, "Fortunately, you were careful enough when you parked the car just now, hiding it in an inconspicuous corner... Give me the car keys, I'll drive the Beetle away, Doctor, wait until they enter the house, then go out through this side door, go around to their car, and drive their car away!"
Dr. Agasa had just come back to his senses, but he was so scared that he almost fell down 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 we must not let them see it. And if we only drive the Beetle and don't drive their car, they will catch up sooner or later."
Although Dr. Agasa was still afraid, he also realized that this seemed to be a matter of life and death. He hesitated for a long time and nodded vigorously: "Okay, I'll try."
Conan nodded. He looked out the window at the dark night outside. "I hope this heavy snow will last until tomorrow morning, trapping these two guys here until we finish the 'trade' of the software... and if they are unlucky enough to escape, we can only blame Itakura Taku's other clients for driving away the car. I hope we can keep it a secret from Vodka for a while."
He suddenly pricked up his ears while muttering, his expression tense: "Listen, there was a knock at the door - they are coming in, move!"
At the command, two people sneaked out from the side door, avoiding the windows and running towards their respective target vehicles with their short legs.
…
"It seems like there's no one here."
After following Jiang Xia around the rooms and not meeting anyone, Subaru Okiya couldn't help but breathe 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, the lights are on but no one is here - if it were in the city, the owner might have gone to a nearby convenience store, but in this remote place, where could the people in the house go?"
Subaru Okiya: “…” Maybe he has been hanged in the woods, creating a strange scene with no footprints around or only a string of footprints around, waiting for you to bump into him and solve the case.
A corpse was hanging on a branch in the wild forest, swaying with the wind and snow. This horror movie-like scene made Subaru Okiya shudder, and he wanted to return to the apartment immediately and shrink back into his soft and safe bed.
However, as a worker whose life was in the hands of others, he could only echo without emotion: "Yeah, where are the people?"
Jiang Xia thought for a moment and said, "In this weather, we can't go far. Let's go take a look around."
Okiya Subaru's heart skipped a beat: "…" Here it comes! The corpse in the snow is coming!
However, when he returned to the door and pushed it open, the poor graduate student discovered something worse than encountering a corpse.
——His new car is gone!!
"Where's my car?!" This time, Okiya Subaru's tone was much more genuine, with a hint of resentment in his shock: he was only guarding against murderers, but forgot to guard against thieves... How could there be car thieves in the wilderness!
...By the way, will the organization reimburse for this car?
Forget it. Just for a car, it's not worth it to run into the sight of that evil...adult. He might as well work harder and earn back the money for the car himself.
…
"Doc, Doc! Your car is broken down!"
Conan stretched himself into a long line, sometimes stepping on the accelerator, sometimes standing on a stool to turn the steering wheel.
The Beetle drove crookedly for several thousand meters, suddenly stalled, and stopped in the woods on the side of the road.
Next to him, Dr. Agasa, who was driving at the same speed, did not hear Conan's call, but saw that his Beetle broke down.
He quickly parked the new car he had just turned in and said, "What's wrong? Aren't you going to keep going?"
Conan pointed to the dashboard: "It won't start."
Dr. Agasa sighed: "The style of my old friend is a bit old. If I had known this would happen, I should have modified it a little bit."
"How far have we gone?" Conan looked back into the distance, calculated the time, and estimated the distance. He made up his mind:
"I drove around the entrance on purpose. They should have only noticed the tire tracks you left. With the current wind speed and heavy snow, the tire tracks will soon become blurred - this distance should be enough. Leave the car here and pretend it's a passerby with a broken-down car. Find a tow truck to tow it tomorrow."
As he said this, he packed up the things in the Beetle, pushed the door and got out, then jumped into Dr. Agasa's car: "Hurry, we have to get 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 main road.
Looking ahead, there was only an empty road covered with snow, and the vehicles and the people in them had long disappeared.
Subaru Okiya sighed, and suddenly felt that this scene was so familiar, he seemed to have seen it in many novels - isn't this the legendary Snowstorm Villa model?
As expected, Lord Uzo still likes to play this kind of classic stage routine...
"Huh?" He was suddenly startled, "A car is coming from that side!"
Jiang Xia pulled up his mask and waved while standing on the side of the road.
The approaching vehicle stopped. A man with an unshaved beard lowered the window and asked in confusion, "What's going on?"
Jiang Xia: "Our car was stolen by someone - you seem to be heading towards Tokyo, can you give us a ride?"
"Tokyo?" The man scratched his chin and turned to ask the woman who was sitting up from the back seat, "What do you think?"
The woman was just catching up on her sleep. Upon hearing this, she yawned and looked at the three people outside: "Sure, it's on the way anyway."
The man thought of something and turned around to ask Jiang Xia: "Do you know the way around here?"
Jiang Xia looked at Okiya Subaru.
Subaru Okiya nodded reluctantly: He used to often follow the professor to various places to attend meetings, and of course he often drove to Gunma Prefecture.
"Great! It snowed so heavily tonight that I was afraid I might get on the wrong road." The driver pointed to the passenger seat and said to Subaru Okiya cheerfully, "Then how about this, you sit in the passenger seat and help me find the way, and the two of them sit in the back seat, there's just enough room."
There were a little too many people, but fortunately Haibara Ai was just a child and didn't take up much space.
Soon, the fully loaded vehicle started driving all the way to Tokyo.
Subaru Okiya looked at the scenery outside the window receding and sighed for his new car that had passed away.
At the same time, he couldn't help but take a closer look at other people's cars: "The driver's seat is on the left. Did you import this car from abroad?"
