Chapter 2826-2838 [The Temptation of Guns]
"!" Shancuncao was overjoyed when he took the business card. "Oh, I'm so embarrassed."
"Take it, take it." Conan looked at his watch. "The doctor and I have to go home quickly. It's too late. If we go back too late, Brother Jiang Xia and the others will be worried."
"Oh! Then go back quickly." Shancuncao waved to his subordinates, then smiled and said to the generous child in the car, "Have a safe trip!"
Dr. Agasa stepped on the accelerator and the car whizzed away.
"Inspector, is this okay?"
After they walked away, a young police officer couldn't help but muttered: "I felt that the old man was very nervous, as if he was hiding something."
However, Inspector Yamamura did not think it was a big problem. He admired the business card he had just received and said, "What crime could they have committed? They can't have robbed a car and escaped. Besides, some people get nervous when they see the police. You've been a police officer for so many years, don't you know this?
"Let's take a step back and say that even if they really broke the law, it's okay. I know that kid and I can find him. Then I will join my idol and bring them to justice!"
Subordinate: “…” Does your idol agree with what you said?
But forget it, Inspector Yamamura will take the blame if anything goes wrong. And those two people really don't seem capable of doing anything bad, so let's just leave it at that for now.
He wrapped his coat around himself and continued to wait for the next car to pass by.
…
At this time, on the same road.
Okiya Subaru was frightened by Jiang Xia's few words and broke into a cold sweat. He prayed that the suspicious driver didn't have a gun, and quickly thought about how to save his life after a fight broke out - Jiang Xia was skilled and brave, and he had his reasons for doing so, but Okiya Subaru was just a weak and pitiful graduate student who didn't dare to carry a gun...
"By the way, Jiang Xia shouldn't push people too hard." Okiya Subaru looked at the passing scene outside the window and closed his eyes in pain. "He should know how dangerous it is to fight in a car moving at high speed."
It was not known whether his prayers worked or Jiang Xia was somewhat disappointed with the two suspicious persons who were full of loopholes after a little probing, but the famous detective finally stopped talking.
Okiya Subaru breathed a sigh of relief.
Then he lifted it up again.
...Wait? What's that in front of us? Why is there a police car lying across the road? !
Next to Okiya Subaru.
The two suspicious persons looked at each other through the rearview mirror, exchanged a nervous look, and then looked forward again.
After more than ten seconds, the driver stepped on the brakes and the vehicle slowly stopped in front of the checkpoint.
Inspector Yamamura walked around to the driver's seat and started working expertly: "Hello, please show me your driver's license."
As he was talking, he felt that there were too many people on the bus, so he leaned over suspiciously and looked inside.
At a glance, the police officer's eyes lit up and he shouted excitedly: "Mr. Jiang Xia!!"
Jiang Xia: “?”
In such a dark place, he was still recognizable even with a mask on. It seems that Mr. Yamamura's ability to become a police inspector was not entirely due to luck...
Beside them, the driver and the short-haired woman in the back seat were also stunned. They looked at each other and said hesitantly, "Mr. Jiang Xia? Which Mr. Jiang Xia?"
"Who else could it be? Of course it's that famous detective! You don't even know this, are you from Kanto?" Inspector Yamamura snorted coldly, and then felt something was wrong, "Wait, if you don't know each other, why are you sitting in the same car?"
The driver and the short-haired woman broke out in cold sweats, and their hands moved quietly and placed on their waists.
Unexpectedly, Jiang Xia suddenly said, "Mr. Okiya and I had a car problem halfway through the journey, so I took a ride with these two kind people and asked them to take me to Tokyo."
Two people: “?!”
They looked at each other in disbelief: Could it be that this detective didn't notice that there was something wrong with them?
"Great! I knew it. He solved so many cases at such a young age. There must be something fishy behind it." The driver breathed a sigh of relief and thought to himself:
"Aside from the media hype, he is just a gullible student... But I never expected that he would be in our car. Why did this high school detective take a child to Gunma Prefecture on a snowy day instead of staying at home to go to school?"
Just as I was thinking about it, I heard Jiang Xia leaning against the car window and curiously asked Shancuncao: "It's so late, what are you doing on the road?"
Police Captain Yamamura sighed and complained, "It's all because of that jewelry robbery case. You've heard about it, right? Three armed robbers robbed a jewelry store a while ago. Because they were masked the whole time, it was difficult to identify them. We haven't caught them yet.
"Fortunately, after my efforts, the case has finally made some progress - we found the stolen car they drove when they escaped in a deep mountain!"
"..." Okiya Subaru pinched his brows hard: What kind of progress is this? If we can't see the face, it means there is only one car to track. Now that the robbers have abandoned the car and fled, isn't it even more difficult to find?
But then again, as long as you are lucky enough, or are favored by some adults who control "luck", then some difficult performances can actually be easily achieved...
Thinking of this, he glanced at the two people in the car, hoping that the police inspector outside the window would have sharp eyes and catch these two pieces of pie that fell from the sky.
Unfortunately, however, Inspector Yamamura, who was seeing his idol and fast-promoting boss, paid no attention to the other people in the car.
Under the worried gazes of his subordinates, he told Jiang Xia everything he knew, like beans pouring out of a bamboo tube.
"In addition, one of the three robbers was injured in the leg." Inspector Yamamura patted his chest proudly:
"This is all my credit! When I received the report that day, I happened to be nearby. When I heard that someone was robbing a jewelry store, I felt obliged to rush into the store with a gun in hand!"
"When I arrived, I saw three robbers running away from the jewelry store with a lot of stuff. I immediately took out my gun, pointed it at them and said, 'Stop! Or I'm going to shoot!' - Cool, right? Cool, right?"
The veins on Huiyuan Ai's forehead were throbbing: "..." You're so handsome! Don't say that again! What if Jiang Xia listens to you and thinks that's really cool, and one day he can't help but go out with a gun?
She glanced at the side worriedly. Fortunately, Jiang Xia didn't seem to be moved. He just nodded slightly and said: "Not bad."
Shancuncao suddenly became more excited: "But those three guys didn't take me seriously at all and kept running forward. In order to prevent them from escaping and continuing to harm the citizens, I had to--"
He made a shooting gesture: "Bang!"
"One of the gangsters was shot in the thigh! I just wanted to warn them, but I didn't expect to actually hit them..."
