Chapter 3327 3339 [Failed to Escape]
While they were discussing, suddenly, a child's voice came from the side.
"That..." Conan pointed to the dirt near the railing and said hesitantly, "There are two bicycle tracks here, and they look very fresh - right next to the broken fence."
Toru Amuro: "?!"
After a brief moment of confusion, the three college students stared at the two tire tracks. Suddenly, they remembered something and their faces changed suddenly.
Fanhe Takuto stared at the broken railing in horror, "Could it be that Taimei went up the mountain alone, and then because she didn't brake, she rushed down from there?!"
His two classmates turned pale. After a brief silence, the yellow-haired man tried to keep a smile: "How is this possible? - Think about it, if Taimei really rushed down from here, she would definitely fall on the winding mountain road below. In this case, we must have seen her when we went up the mountain just now, but this is not impossible."
"As for those two wheel tracks..." Huangmao thought for a moment and said with certainty, "It must be that one of the unlucky souls accidentally bumped into the railing when coming here. That's why the railing came loose, and that's why it fell off the top when we were climbing up the mountain just now, giving me a fright."
"Yeah, that's right," Tiantang Qinghua agreed with her boyfriend. "Taimi isn't that careless. Besides, even though there aren't many people here, there are always tourists—isn't that the case with these kids?"
The Young Detectives somehow became an example.
They looked around and felt that what the three older brothers and sisters said made a lot of sense, so they all breathed a sigh of relief and said, "It's great that no one got hurt."
Amuro Toru: "..." Really? But he always had a bad feeling...
…
Although there was no evidence to prove that anything had happened to the fashionable short-haired woman, the strange tire tracks and broken railings still made the mood of the people who were out for the picnic drop sharply.
The fireworks in the distance had just finished. Standing on the dark mountaintop, they stared at each other for a moment. Jiang Xia suggested, "Since there's nothing left to see, why don't we go down the mountain?"
"We should really get down the mountain earlier." Amuro Toru nodded, but suddenly felt something was wrong. "Why are you here?"
Jiang Xia coughed twice and said, "It sounds like what you guys are discussing isn't right. I'm going to come out and take a look."
Having said that, he returned to the RV very consciously.
The others looked at each other randomly for a while, and Huangmao hesitated and said, "He has a point. Why don't we go?"
There was no objection and it passed unanimously.
So soon, the group of people who had just happily reached the top returned to the car as quietly as a chicken and drove down the mountain in silence.
…
The luxury RV began to drive down along the winding mountain road.
Inside the car, the atmosphere was somewhat tense. Fanhe Takuto sighed and murmured to the others in confusion:
"Where on earth has Taimei gone? She didn't answer the phone. The signal here is sporadic, so maybe she just didn't get through—but after being alone for so long, she should at least say hello to us."
Jiang Xia sat in the corner covered with a blanket, quietly closing his eyes to rest, and as befitted a patient, he made no comment.
Conan shared the same feeling as Toru Amuro: Although the yellow-haired man's explanation on the top of the mountain just now was correct, he always felt that the two bicycle tracks and the fresh traces were unusual. They should have been left recently, and not from some unlucky passerby he had never seen before.
After hesitating for a moment, he asked the two college students, "Does that Taimei sister often leave you guys and act on her own? Or is this the first time?"
"She's always like this," Tiantang Qinghua sighed. "Last year, she even reached the top of the mountain on her bike before we set off. She's got a strong personality and likes to be first in everything, even during leisure activities like this."
Yoshida Ayumi glanced at Jiang Xia secretly and found that he seemed to be sleeping, so she also joined the discussion with interest: "Could it be that Sister Taimei already got the first place at the summit, so she hurriedly rode back to the camp, hoping to get the first place again on the way back?"
Conan shook his head: "If that's the case, then we should have met her on the way up the mountain just now...!!"
Crunch——!
The familiar rubbing of tires on the ground, the familiar sudden brakes. The only thing that was luckier than going up the mountain just now was that everyone was still sitting in their seats and no one fell miserably because they were standing.
Even so, they still staggered for a while before they could steady themselves.
"Reiji!" Fanhe Takuto banged his head against the car window. He covered his forehead and angrily shouted at the yellow-haired driver who was driving, unable to bear it any longer:
"What are you doing? You're not afraid of that wooden stake you encountered on the way up the mountain! I never thought you were so timid."
With Huangmao's temper, if he heard such words, even if it was really his fault, he would turn around and retort a few times.
However, at this moment, he stared at the road ahead and did not speak.
Seeing him like this, Fanhe Takuto hesitated. He and Tencho Haruka stood up and walked hesitantly towards the driver's seat: "You, what's wrong with you?"
After being questioned by two classmates, Huangmao finally came to his senses.
He trembled, raised his hand and pointed forward. After a long time, he finally uttered two words: "Taimi...Taimi she..."
It's too slow, Amuro Toru can't stand it anymore.
He walked over quickly, just like pressing the fast-forward button when encountering a slow plot in a movie.
Standing next to the driver's seat and looking out the front window, Amuro Toru's expression changed slightly.
——In the middle of the mountain road, under the illumination of the car lights, a human figure emerged very clearly.
She was lying on the ground, wearing a familiar red suspenders and white jeans, her eyes wide open, covered in blood, staring at the sky.
There was no light left in those wide-open eyes. Combined with the fact that she was completely motionless, not even breathing...
"She..." Even the elementary school students who came over to watch the excitement noticed something was wrong. They couldn't help but say, "Sister Taimei, is she dead?"
“…”
Toru Amuro closed his eyes: After all the precautions, it finally came.
He took a deep breath, opened the car door and got out. He walked to the short-haired woman with a bit of skepticism and lowered his head to check what was going on.
...and then I had to believe it.
Amuro Toru was silent for a moment, then said to Jiang Xia, who also came over to check on the situation: "It's hopeless, call the police."
…
After a somewhat long wait, several police cars finally appeared in everyone's sight.
After a busy moment, Officer Takagi ran towards Jiang Xia with the documents in hand. But before he could speak, some inexplicable intuition made him subconsciously turn around, and then he reported to Jiang Xia and Amuro Toru at the same time: "The person who fell to his death is Miss Shirafuji Taimi, 22 years old, a college student."
