Chapter 3320 3332 [Flat Tire] Ask for monthly ticket (`)
A few minutes ago.
Toru Amuro was driving past here. As he was driving, he put his foot on the brake and his eyes froze slightly.
——On the road ahead, there was an RV lying across the middle of the road, motionless.
In the wilderness, a stalled car...
As the two key words came together, two flashing, bold words suddenly popped up in Toru Amuro's mind: first, flat tire; second, Jiangxia.
"..." As some not-so-happy memories flashed through his mind, Toru Amuro's eyes twitched slightly. He held the steering wheel vigilantly, looked left and right, and began to look for the cabin in the woods nearby.
If such a thing really existed, he would turn back without a second thought. Once he got back to Tokyo, he would send his idle subordinates to pretend to be passersby and see if they could bring Jiang Xia back.
As for himself... he was very busy and really didn't have time to accompany Jiang Xia on those terrible schedules where they couldn't drive ten miles in a whole day.
However, after careful observation, there were no houses or anything like that nearby.
And the RV in front seemed to be empty.
After hesitating for a moment, Toru Amuro got out of the car cautiously, walked around the RV parked in the middle of the road in front, and paid special attention to the four tires of the car.
He soon discovered that the wheels of the RV were intact: they were not punctured by sharp stones, nor were they bitten by strange creatures.
Moreover, looking inside through the window, the things inside were quite tidy, with no signs of hasty departure: it seemed that the people in the car were not forced to leave because the RV broke down. They probably parked the car here on their own initiative and then went camping nearby.
"In other words, there was no flat tire as I imagined. The car was parked in the middle of the road simply because the owner had no manners and thought that there were few people on this road and no cars would come, so he parked it haphazardly."
After confirming this, Amuro Toru actually breathed a sigh of relief.
He looked at the contact number pinned to the wiper of the RV, took out his cell phone and dialed the number while returning to his car, waiting for the other party to come and move the car.
...Of course, if he were unlucky enough to encounter a group of guys using an RV to dump corpses, he could just step on the accelerator and run into them, acting like a brave and enthusiastic detective.
…
Just as I was thinking about it, the call I made was connected.
——It was not quite what he imagined. The person who answered the phone was not a burly man, but a young woman.
After hearing what Amuro Toru said, the woman apologized repeatedly and said that she would go back to move the car immediately.
"That's a good attitude." Amuro Toru hung up the phone and muttered to himself, "I hope it can be resolved quickly... If the grass wasn't so deep next to me and I wasn't worried about accidentally running over something, I really wanted to drive right past it."
While waiting for the RV owner to return, Toru Amuro opened his email and handled some official business.
He was writing a reply to his subordinate with his head down when suddenly his ears moved slightly. He heard something and looked up at the rearview mirror of the car.
The next moment, a familiar little yellow Beetle sedan suddenly appeared in his sight.
Toru Amuro: "...?"
Wait, could the person he just thought of be sitting in this car?
As this thought flashed through his mind, Amuro Toru's eyes twitched slightly, and he was speechless for a moment. And at this moment, something even more speechless happened—the yellow Beetle, without even slowing down, actually crashed straight into them!
...What's going on.
Suicide attack?
The driver died?
Brake failure?
...Although Dr. Agasa is always tinkering with some strange inventions, according to the investigation of his subordinates, the doctor next to Jiang Xia is a good guy and it should not be a deliberate attack.
Countless thoughts flashed through Toru Amuro's mind as he wanted to start leaving, but before he drove out, he suddenly realized something fatal.
——If I drive away by myself, and the yellow Beetle crashes straight into the RV in front at this speed, the people sitting in the car will probably be seriously injured.
After hesitating for a moment, he did not drive away directly. Instead, relying on the fact that his car had been modified, he quickly put on his seat belt, put his hands on the steering wheel, and stepped on the accelerator.
With a little initial velocity, the Mazda was hit by the car behind it with a bang, and then it sped to the side.
Toru Amuro raised his hands to protect his face, but perhaps because of the deceleration or something else, the impact was lighter than he expected, and even the airbag did not pop out.
But when he got out of the car, he saw that some fragments had been knocked off his trunk, and one of the tires was inexplicably flat, as if it had been punctured by the fragments, and the cuts were fresh and hot.
He lowered his head to check his unlucky car, then looked up at the two people who got out of the car. Amuro Toru's eyes twitched slightly: "...it's you guys after all."
Dr. Agasa was stunned: "Really?"
Jiang Xia didn't seem to notice this detail. When he saw Amuro Toru getting out of the car, he greeted him happily: "Boss, what a coincidence."
Toru Amuro: “…” Stop talking, I get a headache just thinking about the word “巧”.
"Boss Amuro!"
At this time, the other children in the car also pushed open the door and jumped out.
Conan looked at the suspicious person number N in front of him in surprise, puzzled and wary: "Why are you here?"
Amuro Toru: “…” Of course it was to complete a transaction mission in a small organization where he was undercover… Tsk, he had originally chosen a place with few people and complex terrain to facilitate different options later, but now… where is the shortage of people in this damn place?
——There must be a bunch of people in the RV in front, and now, a bunch of people have jumped out of the car behind. With these people around, how can he trade quietly as planned?
...The only good news is that with this group of familiar people around, the appearance of "Detective Amuro" seems more logical, which will make the whole transaction more covert.
Next to him, Dr. Agasa had no idea what this fake detective was thinking.
Seeing that it was an acquaintance of Jiang Xia, he breathed a sigh of relief and began to discuss with the other party how to resolve the car accident: it was not that he intended to take advantage of his acquaintance, but this way of discussing could save a lot of bargaining process and make things simpler.
Amuro Toru was brought back to his senses by his words. He waved his hand nonchalantly, "You didn't mean it. I'll just fix it when I get home, but..."
Amuro Toru pointed to his tire and said confidently, "As you can see, my tire is flat, but I have something urgent to attend to. How about this? You take these kids camping here first, and I can lend you my car. I'll find a towing company to tow my car away and pick you up at the same time."
